Hello, Everyone,
Here is a small snippet from THE SEVENTH CHANCE that I revised because I wasn’t satisfied with it.
As Amato stood in the doorway to their bedroom, he imagined Bob-Ann’s conversation with Lila. She’d never learned how to love and accept herself. Taking off his shoes, he walked to the side of the bed and sat down on it.
Bob-Ann awoke at once.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“Why are you here?” Bob-Ann asked, ignoring his question.
“Have you forgotten you’re my wife and we live here?”
“I thought…”
“You thought what?” Amato replied, interrupting her with a harsh tone in his voice.
“You’re angry.”
Have a lovely day.
Pat Garcia
Shalom shalom

So much in such a short scene. Great excerpt.
Hi,
Thank you so much. I’m struggling with the Flash Fiction piece.But I’m hanging in there.

That IS quite the question, “have you forgotten you’re my wife.” So much in five words to unpack.
Thank you for dropping by, Lisa. I look forward to unpacking it.

Lila is jealous and trying to break them up, I believe. At this point we don’t know whether or not she will succeed!
Hi,
You’re right. Lila is jealous but the tide will turn.

“Have you forgotten you’re my wife?” What a question!
Hi,
I really like that question. Amato can be smart-alecky when he’s serious.

Is Bob-Ann transgender?
Hi,
No, Bob-Ann is not transgender.
