Flash Fiction: Happy For Now by Anna Bayes

Woman As Art

I have been having an affair with him for about six months. He is the father of one of my private piano students; he is about forty, tall, handsome, shaven head, with charcoal, wide-rimmed glasses. His son is five years old, quick-witted and polite – always a tell-tale sign of parents who give a shit, even if they are separated. Sometimes the grandfather drops my student off, sometimes it is the attractive father, but I have never seen the grandmother or mother of the child. I sometimes wonder if there are any females in the boy’s family. 

How it started was, my student was ill one day, but his father, instead of calling me to inform me of the news, showed up on my doorstep at the student’s lesson hour, and asked me out for lunch. I cocked my head a little, then said yes. He brought me over to a small café just a few minutes’ walk away from my apartment; turned out he owned the place. He took pride in his coffee; he mixed his signature blend, roasted it, ground it, then made me an espresso. The freshness of the drink already intoxicated me; seeing him concentrating on his task at hand deepened my infatuation for him. After a sandwich and a second cup of espresso, he brought me into his large storage room full of green beans. He explained their places of origin and characteristics in detail, before leading me into his office behind the storage room, and fucked me right there on his desk. He was huge, and had a thick head which was especially satisfying when he pushed through my slit and focused on drilling right at my g-spot. He looked as dedicated as when he was preparing his perfect cup of black gold. Guess he was born with great focus on whatever he was doing at the time. 

We do not ask each other any questions. That seems to work perfectly for both of us. There is plenty of sex; he is a great lover, and we enjoy groping each other in semi-public places – it seems somehow to fit our situation: we are not really in a relationship, but we are exploring each other in the most private parts, during the most intimate acts possible. I would wank him in the dark cinema theatre while we watch a random movie half-heartedly; we would walk aimlessly in a museum, then disappear into the fire exit for a quickie; he would take me hiking during the day and eat me out on a deserted path where no one passes by.   

I know this leads nowhere: I cling fiercely onto my independence; I do not wish to become anyone’s bride. He, in turn, has a son to bring up, with an estranged wife he may or may not divorce – in either case, he needs to continue supporting financially. We are just giving each other orgasms, regularly, powerfully and tirelessly. Who says being happy for now cannot stretch out indefinitely? Hell, perhaps that is the new definition of happily ever after. Who knows? 

The End

Danger: Are You Writing Flash Fiction Or Writing Essays?

Posted on March 14, 2012 by pittsburghflashfictiongazette

The Old Soldier taught composition to undergraduates at the University of Pittsburgh in 2004.  Teaching composition for a semester was part of the agreement I made when I accepted my fellowship that paid for my MFA in fiction writing and that gave me a generous stipend to live off of for the entire three years of graduate school.

My students wrote a lot of essays.  An essay is full of exposition.  Exposition is explanation.  It is telling.

The best flash fiction is not telling.  It is showing.

What exactly is showing?  It is getting your characters inter-acting with each other or among themselves as soon as possible.  One of the best ways to do this is through dialogue.  Dialogue is action.

Now, there is a place for exposition.  Exposition is also summation.  Sometimes a writer has to summarize in order to save time; but in a flash fiction story the more summation there is the more the story will read like an essay.

So, exposition (telling, summation) is great for the setup of your story.  But keep it short.  How short?  Very short.  Then get into the build up of your story.  The more inter-action your characters have in the build up, the better.

Then there is the resolution.  Here, too, inter-action should be the rule and not the exception.

Exposition is a very useful tool and can be used anywhere in a flash fiction story.  Just remember that the more exposition you use the more your story will read like an essay.

Are you writing flash fiction or are you writing essays?

Spring has sprung in Pittsburgh.  It’s a sunny day, the high in the 70s.  Hello hello hello, all my brother and sister bloggers, readers, writers, Flash Fiction Fanatics and the students of the University of Pittsburgh. 

It’s early in the afternoon and the Old Soldier can’t wait to get outside into this lovely weather.  It would be a good day to take my book and movie on tape back to the public library.

The Occupy movement has been mighty quiet lately.

Ladies, Answer This Question Before Doing Your First Adult Video

Posted on February 22, 2012 by pittsburghflashfictiongazette

An Amateur Just Before Doing Her Porn Video

Okay, you’ve got your courage up and you are definitely going to do your first porn video.  How does a woman decide which site to contact?

Here’s my suggestion.  Watch the videos of the sites you are interested in.  Then ask yourself this question: do you get the feeling that the women are belittled for having sex on camera or are they celebrated for having sex on camera?

Then make your choice.

Oh, in the video never give your real name or where you work.  You can say the kind of work that you do but not the company you do it for.  If you are a student don’t give the college that you are attending.  And it is best never to be specific about where you live even if you are shooting your video in your hometown.  Tell the viewing audience that you live in a different city in a different state.

Now pay attention here.  The person or people shooting the video will need to see ID to make sure that you are 18 or whatever age you have to be in the state that you are shooting your video in to prove that you are old enough to be in a porn video.  Your ID will have your real information on it, age, name and address.  The person, or the people, shooting the video needs this information in order to pay you.  But don’t give your real information to the audience who will see your video.

If you do these basic things the chances of anyone in your real life finding your video are pretty slim because there are billions of porn videos on the internet and millions are added every month.  The only way the people in your real life will know that you were in a porn video is if you tell them.

Of course, even with the odds in your favor something like 10 million to one, every once in a while a woman is outted. 

The Old Soldier will never lie to you.

PS Make sure the site actually pays you.  Do your homework.  There are sites out there that are scams.  You suck and fuck and don’t get paid a penny. 

Do your research.

And one more thing.  Be sure to tell someone you trust the address of where you will be and what you will be doing just to be safe.

Then enjoy yourself.

Editor’s note (1 January 2013): Ladies, this is new information that I’m adding to this report.  As far as I can tell, any legitimate site will offer you a legally binding contract.  The contract will state what you agree to do and how much you will be paid to do it.  You should not take off any clothes or perform any sex act until you and a representative of the site sign the contract.  At least that’s the way it works at the site that I subscribe to which is in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States.

Porn is not for most women.  But then most women don’t get the opportunity to do porn.  And that’s another story.  Opportunity makes a lot of people do things that lack of opportunity keeps them from doing.  It’s human nature.

Here’s an interesting tid bit that I picked up reading the Huffingpost.  A woman is more likely to pick up a venereal disease from the general population than from professional porn actors because the professionals are regularly checked (the article said every 30 days) for STD (sexually transmitted diseases).  If this is true it’s very good news for a woman doing her first porn videos.  Of course, ladies, you have to research this claim to see if it is true.
