DINNER FOR TWO

Image
DINNER FOR TWO   It was a pleasing ritual for Vivienne to cook a meal for  her love Marco; especially during one of their most romantic nights of the year.  Another monthly anniversary. Vivienne would light a candle, put the player on and play  some soft Sade. She would stare into each of Marco’s beautiful eyes. Remind herself of how she fell so completely in love with this man. The love of her life. She loved  him with every inch of her breath, but maybe… she loved him just a little bit too much.    Tonight was steak night. With a side of home cut chips and a homemade garlic sauce that was ground and creamed all from scratch.  A meal fit for a king, a meal perfect for a devoted-husband. Marco was her king. Marco was a solitary figure.  Sure; when he was younger he was like any other young man. Marco was once impulsive. He was once ambitious. He was once rambunctious, fast living, with a devil may give a shit kind of attitude. But now – he was a quiet, gentle and wise man of solitary

First Dates [Flash Horror Fiction]

It’s our first date and he arrives wearing a designer blazer, jeans, and holding a bouquet of roses. He gets an eight for appearance and a nine for thoughtfulness. We’d never met before.

His eating manners were correct. He used a knife and fork. He didn’t slurp the pasta and he didn’t have half the dish down his shirt. Ladies pick up on these kinds of things.

BANQUET (FLASH FEAR SHORT)

BANQUET   “And how was this one cooked?” The pompous-man said. “It was slowly roasted, stuffed with mozzarella and sun-blushed tomatoes,” Andrew said. Andrew hated these banquets. He hated the audience scoffing at the champagne and asking pointless questions about the food. If it didn’t give him a chance to showcase his talent and make some money he’d much prefer a fast-food place like “Chomp N Go”. “And this one...?” “This is a breast fillet with a balsamic dressing,” Andrew said. “And how old is the meat?” The pompous-man said. “Fourteen years,” Andrew said solemnly. “ Young and tender. ” The man guffawed into his sycophantic, chuckling audience – followed by an array of innuendos. Andrew felt a surge of disgust – he was a vegetarian himself. “And how long have you been doing this young man?” The pompous man asked. “Well, I started 10 years ago as an apprentice but once I was confident five years ago I managed to buy my own farm and prepare the meat myself,” Andre
