Harsh. Burn. I'm laughing. It's funny what people think will happen. I do say your work ought to receive a much warmer response. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
First good luck in the contest.
Well done. Loved the story. Also that she did not force him to go to her event and do what he enjoyed. And that he really was excited about finding her painting that sold last year at an Art Fare.
And the not so hidden snob factor in the art world with a painting that is found in the flea market for 5 dollars. (I known people who put on airs about art or having expensive items.)
And loves the twist at the end.
Well done.

Thank you very much, Mary, for taking the time to read and comment on my story in such detail.
Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-word flash fiction story, One Man's Junk Is..., has the proper word count and ends with sarcastic slam at a friend. A question for me is if I'm to assume Allen is a train enthusiast or what.

Who wouldn't like such a sweet, loving story. Good job of staying within all the story requirements. It's not easy to keep a story to an exact count, especially in a dash contest. Very nice.

that is just too cute! What a great story and fun, teasing coup for Allen.
You told a most enjoyable tale, not only briefly but keeping each delightful word within the 100 word limit. Bravo!

This is a delightful story. It portrays a scene that might be any couple. The picture matches the story. I especially enjoyed the last sentence. Good luck in the contest.

I am so pleased you thought this story could be about any couple. I did try to characterize Meg and Allen as a typical older couple. Many thanks for your kind praise.

This is such a very clever write! I love it and really like the sweetness and innocence of the little relationship and then the humor in the end. This is a really good write for the 100 word dash. Best of luck to you.
