Caution: This Flash Story contains strong sexual content, including Ma/Fa Fiction Illustrated .
“How was it?” Emma asks Daniel when he returned from his walk.
“Okay.”
“Nothing interesting? Nothing spectacular? Flying saucers landing? Dogs chasing chickens? A 1924 Bugatti hardtop convertible with naked blondes on both running boards? Chickens chasing dogs?”
“Ha ha, you’re funny. It was just one naked blonde and she wasn’t on the running board, she was on the rumble seat.”
“How disappointing.”
“I did take a couple of pictures,” Daniel says, taking his camera from his pocket and handing it to Emma.
“Ah,” Emma says. “These are nice. Are you going to give them titles?”
“Titles for snapshots?” Daniel asks. “You mean like ‘Naked Blonde on Bugatti Rumble Seat’?”
“Exactly,” Emma says. “We wouldn’t want the viewer to confuse the Bugatti with an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.”
