“Spined” – Flash Fiction 55
Spined
The sweetest part, he said, jamming the core across her clenched lips/teeth; I’m telling you to try it, and, when she stuck out her tongue, slapped her.
You’re only hurting yourself.
As she tasted sting over blood, even over pineapple, she couldn’t quite believe that, and would not, she swore, even if she could.
************************************************
Yes, I know this is both a bummer and a bit out of character, and I almost hate to tell it to the G-Man because I like Fridays to be more cheerful, but it is 55 words, and part of a larger story, and well, all I could come up with today.
DO have a nice weekend! (And sorry, and thanks.)

I can’t decide how I feel about this, but it sure elicits some potent emotions. Well done!
