This microfiction story is for the prompt "sorry I kept you waiting". It reminds me of individuals who are late to meetings or keep others waiting on purpose. I wanted to share a version of this in a ZAPFIC50 story that's told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: Day 1879: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: sorry I kept you waiting. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
Waiting an hour, the receptionist beckoned to Felton. "The interview has been delayed."
Stomach churning, he answered the restroom's call.
Laughing, the recruiter told another guy, "trying to avoid a dull appointment scheduled an hour ago."
Felton responded, "my appointment?"
Shocked, the recruiter turned, murmuring, "Sorry I kept you waiting!"
The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.
Thanks,

Happy rest of the week everyone with whatever your endeavors.
