You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone. I’m glad you liked the story and I appreciate your taking the time to read it. I am skipping the Valentine’s Day Flash Fiction Carnival to work on my novel, but I expect to be back with more flash for March.

Never had pre-marital sex, but I totally understand it. It’s not as though we haven’t had sex ed.

Very sad, and unfortunately, very true. Mike is a friggin’ coward, but you do give a certain depth to him.

As one of the ‘younger’ readers, I want to say that I totally got it. Not just because of what Kat pointed out, either. . . and WOW. Very poignant, very real. You have a knack for showing us what’s going on without the need for too many words. I was instantly drawn in, invested, and could relate with this sad (and yet very true) reality. Bravo!

The fact that your story is flash fiction works in its favor here….a lot can happen to an individual in a short time, and you convey very well that Mike is in panic mode, looking for a way out of one situation while not focusing on the big picture. Good character development in such a short piece.

Very nicely done! An excellent example of flash, packing so much information about the characters and their situation into a short piece. I disagree with the comment that younger readers won’t understand how it represents cowardice. I think anyone whose had pre-marital sex can understand this one. (I also find it amusing that my own piece is similar in situation, yet showcases the other side of the coin.) Thanks so much for sharing this with us! ~Kat
