That sounds like a sure "delete" to me. I hope your finger found the right key. I met my wife on the internet, 30 years ago. But it ain't what it used to be.

My husband doesn't allow me to go on dating sites. Thank gawd for FanStory contests and my imagination!!
-
Oh no. As husband and wife, we definitely do not go on any kind of match or dating site. This was when we were both single as could be.
-
No, of course! I was just making a joke.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the 50 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt contest. Online dating can be a big disappointment.
Good words count and story line. A great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you very much! I appreciate how specific this review is.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Is this dribble? As in bouncing a basketball, or water drips?
My enter/send button is four to five times larger than the delete button, and placed more centrally. I think that's the one you wanted to hit all the time.
Best wishes.

HAHAHA. Subliminal motivation!
Comment from lyenochka
I guess this is about an online relationship which is about to take the next step. I like the opening hesitation and the suspense it builds in this super brief flash fiction. Hope this does well in the contest!

Thanks; that would be lovely if it's the case.
Comment from Bill Schott
This fifty-word flash fiction story, In Fate's Hands, has the required word count and notes the moment in time when the heart and loins joined at the fingertip and voted - Yes.

That sounds like a contortionist's dream! Thanks for the fun review!
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You have an almost complete story here with just 50 words. You leave the reader wondering if you hit delete or send. It was a very nice thing to say about someone, so we can all hope for send.

And hope that the receiver really IS all the things the sender perceives, right?
Thanks for the lovely review!
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is fun and witty. I love the way you begin with send or delete, send or delete. This is what all of us singles go through when answering an email from a prospective love interest. Relatable and funny this reveals what it is like for those who live alone and wish that they had someone to snuggle up with at night.
You are right on the money with this one!

I have a friend who's also in that situation. (She hits "send" way more than she should, though...!)
Thanks for the validating review!!

You are welcome!
Good luck in the contest!

Thank you!!

No problem.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Is it a tease, that you yearn to be. I like the text from beginning to end, yet yearn as well, which of the two was decided on? A follow-up piece? Could there be in the hopper?

Nope. It's all up to your imagination. Glad you liked the piece. Thanks.

If unclear, I meant, send or delete, and nothing else.
Comment from June Sargent
A world of possibilities will be opened up with just a click on a key. Which will it be - to delete or not? Therein lies your fate. Very clever and original entry for the contest. Should do well!

Comment from MissMerri
An excellent little short story, so relatable and funny and clever. I liked everything about it and thought the illustration was perfect too. I almost gave it six stars, it was that good... but then I stopped, poised my index finger and closed my eyes... Five stars it is. Can't wait to see who wrote this. It is really great. (I'll vote for it. How's that?)
