Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette

Checked the page views of my blog.  Walked to “Little Italy” in Bloomfield in Pittsburgh and bought a newspaper and had two beers at Del’s while watching the news on one of the HD TVs.  More murder and more war.  Bought supplies at the supermarket and walked back to the apartment.  Sat at the writing desk and tried to work on a flash fiction idea, writing in my three-ring notebook.

This woman comes home from work and finds her husband passed out drunk on the living room floor.  She kicks off her shoes and sits on the sofa and looks out the picture window at the lawn that needs mowing and she smokes a cigarette.

The husband comes to.

“Jake,” she says.  “I’m getting a divorce.”

“Leave me alone,” he says and goes back to sleep.

Thought for a moment.  Then ripped the page out of the three-ring notebook and threw the page away.

The End
