Loved this line - like so many others in this piece, the reader gets a lot of character information with very little background or description: “Sits down with us for the first drink, says the only nice things he’ll say all day, and then he goes when his glass is empty.”
"I don’t so much fall asleep as I just wake up again. Not sure where I’ve been, or done or said, but I do somehow know that I’ve never strayed far - on foot or by tongue." Brilliant!
Every line is a winner. Every line is working as hard as the narrator works. Every line deserves a bottle at the end of the day.
Thanks Bryan! I haven’t messed around with flash all that much, so it was a fun challenge trying to get economical with the words.

Thanks Stephanie! I feel economy of words has been a shortcoming of mine in the past and really tried to focus down on it for this piece.
I love this kind of writing - each sentence packed with something. no filler. Awesome awesome work
