I’m on the couch considering my choices while Mikey watches one of those adventure chef shows. This one is roving Italy, north into the home of romance and risotto. ‘Ah, fair Verona,’ Mikey says, giving a little nudge and a large wink. ‘Good place to lay a scene that.’ I don’t want him having it, I’m still mad from before and not in the mood. Seems a bit tragic, I tell him, gorging yourself on empty imagery. Mikey twists his lips into a premature post-win grin. ‘Love,’ he says ‘looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.’

I absolutely love this flash-fic. Everything was quip and clever. You fit a detailed story in so few words, and I definitely enjoyed it. Very well done.

Thanks Erin. It can be tricky trying to fit so much into 100 words. But that’s part of the fun 🙂
