It's ZapFic50Friday!
I've participated in a few of these now, but for those of you who are either just now discovering me or the challenge I'm participating in, here's a basic description of what this is all about.
ZapFic competitions are events hosted by @freewritehouse, intended to offer a fun and creative way to compete against other creative authors - winning prizes either in HIVE or Hive SBIs! The rules are simple:
- On Fridays, one must create a well-crafted story in precisely 50 words using the prompt in the competition annoucement post. This week is "bat". On Mondays, it's the same concept, only the story must consist of 240 characters or less (I think the closer you get to 240, the better your odds at winning are).
- You must use the #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags in your post.
- A screenshot of a word counter showing proof of words/characters MUST be included in the submission post!
- A link to your submission needs to be shared to the announcement post within the allotted time (for Fridays, it's until 23:59 GMT Sunday night).
If you're interested in participating, feel free to click the link above and join the fun!
Now, without any further ado, here is my submission (Image taken from WordCounter, story and intellectual property my own):
Davey inhaled a deep, cleansing breath. He could see the runners - muscles tensing and relaxing in anticipation.
All bases were loaded. He shrugged off his nerves and lifted his eyes. This was a career defining moment, and it was his moment to shine.
From behind, the Ump cried "Batter up!"
I hope the break from the weighty and the macabre is refreshing for those of you who have followed my posts (looking at you, jfuji. lol, much love, brother)! If you enjoyed this post, please consider checking out my webserial story, "The Hunter's Instinct" and getting involved in the storytelling experience by voting on what you think should happen next! New chapter to release over the weekend. Thank you for reading and for your consideration, y'all be blessed!
As always, take care of yourselves and each other, and stay thoughtful!
Your friendly neighborhood dork,
