In a pink sunset, the girl with thunderclouds on her thighs pulls into the drive thru. Sunglasses raise to her forehead. A muffled voice comes from the speakerbox.
“Yeah, hi,” She eyes the menu. “My horoscope told me to indulge in life’s simplest pleasures. So lemme get two cheeseburgers, easy on the lettuce, heavy on the cheese. Lemonade, no ice. Large fries, extra ketchup packets. And for dessert,” She licks her glossy lips. “One of those fudgy brownie things. You know the kind.”
She pays and receives a greasy paper bag. BTS blasts through the car radio. “Thank you, astrology.”
Haven’t written flash fiction in a long time, figured I should this week. I was in the mood to write a fun, lighthearted 100 word story. Hope you all enjoy!
Anyone want to take a guess as to what her astrological sign is? Also, what’s your go-to fast food order? Talk to me in the comments, I’d love to hear from you.
Stay safe and keep writing!
Love,
Lady Jabberwocky

Whatever her sign is, she sounds compatible with me based on her dietary choices…

Cute story. Um, maybe she’s a Gemini because the symbol with two heads has always seemed complicated to me. “Simple” pleasures may be just what she needs!

Fun story! I’m pretty clueless about astrology, but Big Macs have always been my comfort food. – Susan

After two cheeseburgers I get thunderclouds on my thighs too if you know what I mean!

great character development for a 100 word story. Well done. I know this girl. She’s an Aires. Prob born April 1 or 2. Doesn’t take life too seriously. She’s secure in herself and embraces the moment.

If she’s anything like me, and she sure sounds like she is in this great little story, she’s a Pisces – always spontaneous and quick to react to our emotions and desires.
