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!😁

This post is my entry for the ZapFicMonday! To check out the rules and how to participate ✍️ then please read It's Monday 20th April 2026! Time for #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!

Mrs T squinted at the finished object. The pattern called for a swan, but it looked like a lumpy cloud. "It’s a design assessment" she laughed. "A rare, woolly Highland cloud!" In the world of yarn, mistakes are just surprises in disguise.

That was my story Swan or Highland cloud?

A wee bit of context and this is a piece of faction. Mrs T being Mrs @tengolotodo and she has a YouTube Channel called Yarn ChickHen about crocheting, knitting and all things yarny!!

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

☑️ This is my screenshot taken from wordcounter.net showing my story is 239 characters which is less than the maximum allowed of 240

In the meantime, I hope that you all enjoy your week people!
