Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.

Hello Hello and byebye to the weekend already.

It has been a very chaotic weekend again for me but I just had to enter the latest zapfic50 which is for the prompt pick

I thought that for this one my wee story would be a play on languages, specifically between American English and real English as in the Queen's English🤣

For those who don't know, to participate in ZapFic50Friday we must write a story that is precisely 50 words long and include a screenshot proving it!

Please see the original post for further details in the Freewriters community.


MY ENTRY for the 23rd ZapFic50Friday - prompt PICK


Pass my plectrum please.
What's that?
You know for playing my guitar.
This?
Yes that, what else would I be meaning!
Typical, you say trunk instead of boot, hood instead of bonnet and pick instead of plectrum.
American English, I despair!
Why don't you learn to speak the Queen's English?


That was a fun little story to write so not join in the fun!

☑️Proof of 50 words is shown below
