My last effort took days because the heat sapped me like Dracula. But here it is.

I have to ask for clarification for Summer's First Kiss. Did sunblock fall on the book cover, or was it seagull manure? I'm assuming the former because your character shrugged it off pretty quickly, which, if it were me, I would've been pissed if a bird crapped on me. Yet I couldn't help but think that way, given that the birds were flying over your character in the same paragraph. If it were the latter, then it gives summer's first kiss a whole different meaning 😅. Regardless, I loved your flash fiction.

Anyways, here's my silly little flash fiction.

Nice job with the aquarium.

Thank you! I love building aquariums. I currently have three smaller ones, under ten gallons, but would love a forty to one hundred paludarium as a center piece in my home.
