Hi to all you zapficers and freewriters!
I hope that you have been having a great week, I have so far, but then again it is only Monday morning!š
This post is my entry for the ZapFicMonday! To check out the rules and how to participate āļø then please read Monday 16th March 2026... it's #ZapFicMonday: ZapFic240! The "Original" ZapFic: Write a story using 240 characters OR less! from
The gist is that we need to write a story using 240 characters or less!
The easiest way to check this is by putting your text into a wordcounter, and then you must take a screenshot and add it to the post as proof that your text is no more than 240 characters for your story!
Mrs T pounded the counter. "I demand a starfish pizza!" she shrieked.
The chef stared at her. "Madam, we only have pepperoni."
She pointed at the sea. "Then go catch one! I want five arms and extra cheese, or I'll sink this restaurant!"
That was my story The starfish pizza demand!
A wee bit of context and this is a piece of faction. The pizza in the picture is in fact what Mrs T and I ate in an Italian restraurant last year. It was delicious and reminded me of a star!
The prompt for this ZapFicMonday - ZapFic240: The Original ZapFic is salty
āļø This is my screenshot taken from wordcounter.net showing my story is 236 characters which is less than the maximum allowed of 240
Why not join in the fun? You have until until Next Monday's ZapFicMonday post to participate.
In the meantime, I hope that you all enjoy your week people!
