A mid-week shot at flash fiction -- hope everyone is having a great week!
For Display Purposes Only
My ex-husband spotted me at a pool in a turquoise-colored bikini. He went to his apartment to call me, tell me that a cute girl was by the pool. I waved to him, and he laughed. He thought I was someone else, not his reliable confidante, the girl he used to convince other girls he wasn't a threat, just a really nice guy they should get to know. The middle of the story isn't important, just the predictable elements of love -- tedium, disappointment, estrangement. Who will get the vacuum cleaner? We can share it, it's a joint custody vacuum! Will we stay friends? Of course. The story ends, and we are strangers. I don't have the bikini anymore, but it remains the same, he thinks I'm someone else.

Y'know what's ironic about this...Just earlier I was visiting a friend's blog, where she posted about a discussion she & her husband had had about a vaccuum cleaner...
Thanks for the shout out in the Video. Uhh if he got the bikini did you get the vacuum cleaner?
