Hahaha enjoyed this a lot and the ending was hilarious. No mater how long you've been together, a man's fries are a man's fries.
Good luck in the contest.

I must admit I laughed at the last line of this fifty-word story. You really built up the scene very well, also. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

You described such a romantic set-up, building up the feeling of romance and leading your reader in the totally wrong direction for that hilarious conclusion.
Well done!

Brilliant! It was always building up to a fun punch line but I didn't expect that one which left me with a definite smile on my face. Clearly expressed and presented, a great story for the contest! Good luck! Debbie

LOL, this is a wonderful entry for this contest! First, you got a twist at the end, and it's a good one. Second, you set the scene up nicely, and being a senior citizen myself, I can relate to the scene and the humor. Well done. Terry.

This 50-word story, Golden Anniversary, has the proper word count and follows the typical couple still fighting over who gets the fries and who gets the check.

Funny, yes I like it, it made me laugh and I had no idea where you were going with this one. 50 words seems a lot and yet when they are placed on a page we see just how few that actually is. I notice you put a few line spaces at the top to ensure the text wrapped around the image. Another sign that you care about your craft. Thank you for sharing.

Great artwork for your story. It sets the mood very well. A very good opening gets our attention.
A very good description of this special anniversary. They are definitely in love as they
"gaze into each other's eyes." A good ending, but their romance needs a little work!
A good entry; good luck in the contest. You capture the scene very well.
