Zapfic50 Monday - Stand, Or Don't Stand

This post is my entry to the ZapficMonday writing contest for this week - the prompt is Stand.

Enjoy !

He stood before the cripple. “I am a prophet and healer !” he said.

“I can cure you with a word. I bid you: stand ! Stand, I say !”

But as much as he tried, the disabled man could not stand. The so-called healer was just a false prophet.

For any of my friends (or anyone else, for that matter !) who reads this and fancies giving it a try, it's really fun and thought provoking. The rules are really simple;

• The Freewriters Community has a Zapfic post with a writing prompt every Monday
• Your response must be posted within 3 days in the Freewriters Community.
• Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of the prompt post
• Please use #freewritehouse and #zapfic tags.
• The important one - YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid.
• Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)
• Try to tell a complete story if you can!
• The story should be EXACTLY 50 words long.
