Greetings, zappers!

Hello friends, and welcome to Friday! It's that time of the week where we set the stage for our weekly Zap fiction challenge. This week's prompt takes us to the mysterious and spooky realm of cursed food.

We've all been there, right? Trying a new restaurant, and one dish catches our eye. It looks amazing, and the smell wafting over to our table makes our mouths water. But what if that dish was cursed? What if taking one bite could lead to an impossible decision?

You take your Instagram selfie with the dish and start eating, but you quickly realize that something is not right. The cook and staff are staring at you with an evil grin, and then suddenly, the room is engulfed in flames. With a cackling voice, the cook tells you that you're eating a cursed dish that will force you to make an impossible decision. What could that decision be? What are the consequences of not making the right choice?

We want you to take the prompt "a cursed dish in a restaurant, where the person who eats it will have to make an impossible decision" and let your creativity run wild. Will the cursed dish force the protagonist to choose between life and death? Will they have to choose between loved ones? Or perhaps it will be a choice between their deepest desires and their moral values? There are endless possibilities, and we can't wait to read your imaginative stories.

Before we start, however, let's take a moment to congratulate last week's winner @esbat. Their story about a town overrun by vacationers due to a broken weather machine had a fantastic twist that caught our attention. Well done, @esbat!

Now, let's get ready to unleash our creativity and start writing our cursed dish story. Maybe the dish is an ancient family recipe served to unsuspecting tourists? Or maybe it's a cursed fruit that drives everyone who tastes it to madness? Whatever direction you choose to take, remember to have fun and let your imagination take over.

We can't wait to read all of your creative and imaginative cursed dish stories. So get some snacks ready (make sure they're not cursed!) and let's get writing on DBuzz! Who knows, your story might be the next winner of our Zap fiction challenge.

Cheers to you all, and happy writing!
