Flash Fiction #323 – Coming Up Short

His best friend Toby and girl Sabrina exchange looks.

“Admit it.” Jay says mid-belch. “You’re fucking.”

“Not again!” Sabrina sighs.

“It’s written on your faces.”

“Bro, you say this shit every time you’re smashed,” says Toby.

Jay throws Sabrina to the floor. When Toby steps in, Jay makes him his personal punching bag. Blood splatters everywhere.

Sabrina pushes between them. “Stop it, you fucking monster!”

Neither sees Jay again. They turn to each other for comfort, eventually falling in love. When Jay hears they’re married with three kids, he laughs. “See. I knew it all along.”
