The champion from the previous week, @joseal2020, left a strong impression with their captivating narrative drawn from actual experiences. Their tale revolved around a gentleman acquiring potatoes while sporting a fedora, delivering a distinct and gripping atmosphere.

In our multifaceted community, we encounter a rich array of artistic expressions and literary forms, yet we all share a common bond rooted in our passion for inventive storytelling. Your contributions continuously offer us novel viewpoints on the world around us.

Here's how it works – we provide an intriguing prompt and challenge you to expand on it, writing a super short Zap fiction tale. You have six days from today's post to enter by sharing your story link in the comments. One talented winner will be selected next Friday and added as a 50% beneficiary on that day's post. WOOT!

This week's prompt is perfect for the upcoming Halloween season: a witch miscasts a spell and accidentally swaps bodies with a cat! Such a fun supernatural mix-up.

Let your imagination run wild with the possibilities! What does the befuddled witch think once she's in feline form? How does the cat handle suddenly being human? Does the witch manage to switch them back? Or is this a new permanent reality they must accept? The directions you could take this are endless.

The key is to unleash your creativity and have fun with the writing process. Experimentation is what helps us grow our skills. Use this playful prompt to try new things without pressure.

Shout out to last week's winner @joseal2020 who wrote an immersive, could-be-real-life-inspired story about a man buying potatoes while wearing a fedora. The tense tone was a compelling departure from our usual lighter prompts. Well written, @joseal2020! We hope you stick around and contribute more of your talent.

That’s the beauty of our community – spanning different styles, genres, and perspectives. Yet, we're all united by a passion for imaginative writing. Your submissions allow us to see the world through your eyes.

So put on your creative hat and draft up a short witch-swapping-bodies-with-a-cat tale for this week’s Zap Fiction Challenge! Don’t overthink it – just have fun and experiment. We can’t wait to see the feline magic you conjure up.

Remember, you have until next Thursday to submit your entry as a buzz, then leave a comment with your link on this post. The winner will be announced next week. Now, let’s get those storytelling juices flowing!

Zap on, friends!
