@zapfic.club released a new prompt asking that we create a Zapfic, in just 240 characters, or less. They are a lot of fun and a good challenge, especially if you aim to write the story in exactly 240 characters. The prompt for this week is 'engagement.'
Rules:
Please post to the Freewriters Community.
Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of this post
Please use the tags: #zapfic and #zapficmonday
YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid
Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)
Try to tell a complete story if you can!
The story should only be 240 characters long (including spaces) - can be shorter, but not longer!
"Who the hell needs it!" Sam complained, regarding his engagement, or, previous engagement.
She was perfect; funny, beautiful, intelligent. The two of them got along so well and he was smitten.
Until he found her in bed with another man.
I decided to subvert this one a little bit, and instead of writing about an actual engagement, I decided to go for a story about a guy who has broken off one.
