Felled again by her father's fist, she lay, her teacher's concerned voice echoing in her head 'is everything ok at home dear?' Should she tell? Could she tell? No, the consequences were surely too great. Better the devil you know. #zapfic

Hahaha, Just as well I'm not entering an art contest. The story took me a few minutes to write, the drawing took me about three days. By the way, you were so complimentary about my little doggy sketch that I dedicated this one to you.

It's a real talent to build up do much suspense and intrigue with just a few words. I wish it was a skill I had myself but I like to the scenic route when I'm writing apparently. :)
Why only one a week though? :(

You do indeed take the scenic route m'dear, but you're never boring, which is a skill in itself.
As for one a week, a few people have me on autovote and I feel a little bit guilty wasting their voting power when I'm producing such throwaway material.

I feel like I've been training for Zappl my entire life. Until a few years ago when he officially lost his mind, my father would insist that you state your case in 6 seconds or 16 words whichever was shorter;)
