Hi to all you zapficers and freewriters!
I hope that you have been having a great week, touch wood I have so far😁
This post is my entry for the ZapFicMonday! To check out the rules and how to participate ✍️ then please read #ZapFicMonday: ZapFic240! The "Original" ZapFic: Write a story using 240 characters OR less! from @zapfic.club
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!

image was created in Grok from a prompt by the author.

The chime of the ornate silver spoon against the crystal cut wine glass sliced through the air like a knife through butter and silenced the banquet hall.
Ladies and gentlemen please be upstanding to toast your majesty King Charles the third!

That was my story Please Be Upstanding

The prompt for this ZapFicMonday - ZapFic240: The Original ZapFic is toast

☑️ This is my screenshot taken from wordcounter.net showing my story is 238 characters which is less than the maximum 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!
