That was a funny story. I enjoyed reading it. The choice of character names suggested this couple was quite a bit older. It is also perhaps very close to real life in its tone, too. Nicely done, and congratulations on the contest win.

Hi Jenin,
This is so sad when watching TV is more important than romance.
I think they should remove the television from their bedroom.
Conglomerates winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy your day
Joan

This work has reached the exceptional level

This ends up being hilarious. It elicits a raucous guffaw and gallows chuckle. I like how you give a short back story to set the reader up to believe something which in the end was not it at all. Very clever. A+ work

ROFL! You have the greatest sense of humor. I believe we could sit for hours and have each other choking on our tongues laughing so hard. Now I just wish I had another six. Thanks for sharing.

Your 100 word piece of flash fiction made me smile and almost laugh aloud. It was creative, yet very imaginable. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Oh! Grrrrr! Those darn remote controls. Talk about putting things on "mute!"

Too funny. This is what I love about "100 Word Flash" -- there must be a quick setup, a way to get the reader invested, and then "bam" ~ a super good twist at the end.

(Mabel should remove the darn batteries)

LOL--

Lol. That's too funny. Oh well, George will hopefully figure things out, especially that Mabel maybe more interesting that the TV and its remote control! Hope this does well in the contest!

Fantastic. One hundred words of truism. I can envision this happening for sure.
You led us down a dusty path with this.
Then nailed us with the punch line.

A sure contest contender,
Cheers,
John

Ah the old ones are the best.

Elderly wife said to her husband, 'Shall we go upstairs and make love?' 'Oh!' he answered, 'I don't think I can manage both of those.'

Excellent story in a hundred words. Well done.
