This post is inspired by a writing prompt in the Freewriters community - It isn't just Monday... It's #ZapFic50Monday! - the prompt is "ride".

He staggered away from his mangled motorcycle, limping badly but with a huge grin on his face.
“Ride it like you stole it, they said. They weren’t wrong, that was awesome !”
Then he fell over, wondering how long the ambulance was going to be.
Also, just to clarify, this is just a story. I did not ride like this when I was a despatch rider, honest. I'm not that much of a hooligan ! 😁
For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;
- The Freewriters Community has a Zapfic post with a writing prompt every Monday alternating between posts up to 240 characters exactly 50 word posts.
- Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
- Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post
- Please use #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags.
- The important one - 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 up to 240 characters long (including spaces, punctuation etc) or exactly 50 words long.
