lol, I'm not sure I'd accept a kiss from a stranger, but this would be the absolute greatest shock, even for liberal straight guy. This is a good scenario for the contest.

Author: You got me! The last line was a surprise. A great story and one I've seen in real life more than once. I really don't care if the count is 100 or 102, I loved it. livelylinda

Made me laugh and is definitely something to think about. Political correctness isn't always so easy when it gets too close. Well written entry into the contest, telling a whole story in 100 words.

    Yes, exactly. It is one thing to talk tolerance. But, what's the reaction when it "smacks" you in the face? Hahaha.

LOL! This is a good entry. Funny, but this actually happened to my husband once... before I met him. He flirted with a 'girl' at a bar, and ... then she told him. He was floored. To this day, he says she was gorgeous. He had no clue!

Always a catch to everything, ha, ha. A humorous piece that makes for a great entry for the contest. Not easy geting a complete story in a hindred words, but you have done an excellent job, and good luck with the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is just as clever and unexpected as hell. Certainly a very complete story in one hundred words. So much to consider. There is some deceit involved but then isn't there always? A funny but thought provoking piece. NG

This story was fun to read because it brought back a memory of a similar incident I experienced in Singapore during the Vietnam War when he/she's were everywhere. Great dialog!

Well done to create a complete story in this restricted word limit - it is striking and funny and a little thought-provoking.

For the record, I don't think being a liberal has got anything to do with it....

Good luck in the contest.

Steve
