ZAPFIC returns! More zap and more fic *

_{*just without the hassle of zappl!}

What is #zapfic? Well I was the first to use the hashtag, so I guess I invented it, and I get to decide what it means.

#zapfic is a very short story written in less than 240 characters*.

Use a word/character counter like this free one (https://wordcounter.net/) to check your character count!

_{*Why 240 characters? Well originally it was posted to the steemit blockchain using the app “zappl”, but that app has been on an extended holiday, and we can't hang around for ever... so now no more hassle with zappl! You can post your #zapfic however you want!}

Last week’s entries!

Thank you to everyone who participated! There were only 3 entries this week

Nothing ventured nothing gained! But three of you did venture and you gained an SBI each!

Congratulations!

@theironfelix, @lighteye, @wakeupkitty

I have a problem accessing my wallet at the moment (site down? Very slow anyway...) so will do the SBI transfer later.

#zapfic Writing Contest Week 56:

Write a story - inspired by the prompt - in 240 characters.

No restrictions on how you post it to steemit. You can post it to steemit using steemit.com, partiko or anything else you want to use!

Try to ensure you tell as complete a story as you can.

This weeks prompt is : sleeve

You can interpret the prompt as you wish (the story does NOT have to contain the word “sleeve” in it)

Rules

It must contain the hashtag #zapfic

The story must be less than 240 characters long - use a character counter to check (here is one: https://wordcounter.net/)

The story must be your own work, and previously unpublished

If you post a photo (you don't have to, there are no "points" for photos, it is all about the story) please make sure you quote the source. If it is yours, say so!

Resteem and upvote welcome but it is not essential (I am operating this contest at a “loss” to give something back to the community, so if you can resteem and upvote it will help me help you!)

Sometimes I may give away bonus prizes too.
