100 word flash fiction
A chapter in the book Miscellaneous stories

"I was disgusted when that nerdy little dentist from Minnesota paid fifty grand to shoot a semi-tame lion to prove what a big man he is. But I'm telling you, Amanda, that photo of the woman posing with her trophy giraffe made me want to puke."
"How could anyone want to harm such beautiful creatures?" Amanda wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.

Brian paused to pour a little extra oil onto the grill. "Rare, medium, or well done?"
