Here's a new piece of flash fiction. Hope you're having a good week!
If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't. I wouldn't start out by ordering garlic chicken while you picked at almost nothing. There's only room in any relationship for an eating disorder and I go by the old practice, Ladies First. I wouldn't fall in love with you right away, thereby sparing myself. I think of your spartan room, the rice paper blinds. How I decided that I wouldn't count the cost. I didn't have much to go on in those days. I still don't.

"Alone In The Kitchen With An Eggplant" ? Isn't that a book by Dick Gregory ?
Ok, that was a bad joke.
I see what the narrator wouldn't have done and by extrapolation everything they did do, clever Brooks.
Michelle,
Nice flash piece. I may have to try writing some short bits like that soon. I also loved the quote, too. And, as usual, the pic was pretty good, too. :)
Hope your week is going well. Take care!
Have you ever thought about publishing a book of all your pics? God I love coming here.

Honey, I would crack up to see you alone in the kitchen with an eggplant! Isn't an eggplant one of those vile vegetables that you so dispise? xoxo
