I often say I must be growing as I'm sure my feet are further away.

Poor Ted. I can relate to not being able to reach those toes. Thankfully, now I can. I'm sure your offering will bring a smile to everyone. Beautiful sunset.

He he, your story made me laugh. I think flash fiction is harder to write than the normal short story.

I love your flash fiction, a bit of suspense, a surprise ending. The photo is gorgeous.

@JudyEv I like suspense books with a surprise ending. A book where you imagine since the beginning how it will end is boring.

One of the suggested criteria for flash fiction is to have a surprise ending. I'm glad you liked it.

@LadyDuck That's probably why mysteries are so popular.

I loved it Judy, such a good job you did writing this:) LOL When I hear Jay grunting and groaning after his shower, I know exactly what he's attempting to do!

I thought the man was having chest pains! Beautiful sunset:)

@porwest That's nice that you were an editor. I love editing and mostly mistakes jump out at me - which is only a small part of editing, of course.

@JudyEv I loved it. Tongue in cheek at the same time as interesting. Job well done, and I will say that as former editor Ivan S. Graves in lieu of my current Jim Bauer or Porwest name.
