Sunday Micro Fiction: Crisp Virgin

As he does every Sun­day in the Flash Fac­tory room at Zoetrope Vir­tual Stu­dio, Richard Osgood this Sun­day pro­vided five words to be used in the cre­ation of a piece of micro fic­tion. The five words?

1. vir­gin
2. crisp
3. dou­ble
4. rene­gade
5. bliss

And an exam­ple of micro fic­tion cre­ated from these five words?

One Can Only Imag­ine What He Was Think­ing

Her son gig­gled when she ordered the vir­gin daiquiri, then he ordered Rene­gade Bliss, “a dou­ble.” As they watched her hus­band and daugh­ter ride horses into the spray, he asked if they were oxy­morons, like But­ter Crisp. The drinks? She imag­ined some­thing else: fam­ily vaca­tions, trial sep­a­ra­tions, and vir­gin drinks when every­thing else was fucked.
