Excellent dialogue, Jim! We learn so much about these two characters by story’s end. Loved this one.

It is so challenging to write a complete story that is principally dialog. You aced it, Jim. I appreciate the clear relationship you built between these two men in such a short piece.

As for a prompt, I submit a desert, a canoe, a plumber.

I like that. Sort of romantic with the understandable Ewe through the eyes of the child.

They're tasty! One time in Honduras I had some tiny ones that were super sweet with thin skin that didn't require peeling. Little bits of joy those things. Wish I remembered their name.
