Comment from Dick Waters
I saw her too, but you beat me to the draw.
Love the picture and the story. Like you said, 'take me there.' You did.
Very nice job.

(I might have mentioned this before - there is a site dedicated to Independent Authors, with many helpful articles related to writing and publishing. My fav is the Saturday morning to Tuesday, Flash Fiction challenge. www.indiesunlimited.com)
There's a chance to be included in their annual anthology.

Thank you so much for sharing my story, Dick. One cannot go wrong using a Rockwell painting for inspiration (I am posting another Rockwell-inspired story today. Look for it).
I also appreciate the indie site you mentioned. I?ll check it out.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
This was well constructed with the 100 word limit. I've tried to write one. It is extremely difficult. You have a very appropriate setting to create the right mood. This was very positive. Nice work.

Hi Liz. Thank you very much for your kind praise of my short-short. The ones this short are indeed challenging, but I had a Rockwell painting to inspire me.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello, anonymous,
Great entry for the
100 Word Dash writing prompt contest. You have my vote. You incorporated the first kiss into your flash fiction. Good job with the word count. It's hard to write flash fiction. You did well. Good luck in the contest.

Hi there,
But in reality, she slaps him across the face and has him up on sexual harassment charges as quick as you can spell WTF...
Word count spot on.
All the best

You are probably right about what she might do today. Thank you for sharing my story.
Comment from Margaret Bednar
... and they lived happily ever after? A sweet and fun romantic story in 100 words. This sounds like something that couldn't happen today, given the PC climate.

Yes, it could happen when Rockwell painted his picture, but likely not today. Thank you, Margaret, for reviewing my story
Comment from BethShelby
This is a cute story. I'll bet the picture inspired it. This is the one I'd probably vote for because I can some young buck coming up with a line like that to get some real kisses.

I am delighted you enjoyed my story, Beth. Indeed, it was inspired by Rockwell? s painting.
Comment from sibhus
This was a fun piece and it describes the picture so well. You done it all in these few words, a very descriptive setting, conflict, and the conclusion, which make for an excellent entry to the contest. Good luck.

I enjoyed reading this fun entry. Your picture was absolutely perfect. The first kiss is cute and I am sure it would lead to more. Nicely done all in one hundred words.
