"Excuse me," her mouse-like voice uttered.

Nobody budged. The customers were giddy, and too excited to hear.

I miss the weekly Zapfic's that would typically take place in the Freewriters community, but, it's been a while since the last one was released. So, without a particular prompt in mind, I decided to just go for it and see what happened.

Creating a short piece of fiction, and fitting it into a 50-word perimeter is a good challenge, and is good for the mind too, I have a tendency to over-writer, in some cases, so it's nice being able to reel it in and keep it within a strict limit.
