Why does no one look at her hands? Too busy looking at everything else?
I haven't seen an astounding gobsmacked jaw in quite a while.
If my name was Greta I would change it too.
Best wishes.

Haha! I wasn't expecting that! You know how to surprise your reader, Karen. A well-crafted flash fiction, enhanced by your excellent alliteration and mesmerisingly good-looking subject. Well done and good luck! Debbie

That picture is mezmerising isn't it? I decided that I did not have to have every word start with a G. Been there done that. Good gravy Grace got goodlooking!
It was 150 words last month. And I wasn't happy with it. I whittled it down, and it got better! Thanks for the read. Karen

It's funny how we all react to good looks, eye candy as people call it, is a diet we all enjoy, I don't think I could endure the looks, but one can make money from it, but I'm glad a don't. You are beyond clever Karen, well done, blessings Roy

I used to be good looking. But illness and pain, kinda took the starch out of me. When I could not exercise anymore, weight came and found me. Rude fella. So, I became a storyteller. I can't really do it in person anymore. But this site is great, and really gave me my sanity back. Thanks for the read. Karen

It started out as a 150w story I wrote a couple of months ago. I whittled it down, and I like it better.
Isn't the picture grand? Thanks for the read. Karen

I see you've revised your name. You still have the same old mastery of alliteration. A good short story, but I didn't understand the reference to the ancient people of Troy (only kidding!)

I pondered whether or not to use that line about Trojans. But I thought it brought home the point quickly. And I could not use a lot of words. I am still married to the wastrel, but I am no longer using his name. Thanks for the read. Karen

I appreciate the read. This was a fun little nugget. I wrote it two months ago at 150 words. But I wasn't satisfied with it. But when the 100w contest came up, I whittled the sucker down and I like it better. Karen
