Table Manners, A Flash Fiction Story by Chuck Grossart I received a free kindle copy of Table Manners, A Flash Fiction Story by Chuck Grossart in an Amazon promotion.I gave this very short story three stars. For me, sadly, it was predictable.Jake was thrilled to have Anna prepare a meal, especially for him."Anna Fulton was the sort of woman men dreamt of...blonde, leggy, with eyes a sparkling shade of blue that would make the waters of the Caribbean sigh with envy. To Jake, Anna rightly belonged on the arm of a rock star, or maybe a pro quarterback, but here she was, cooing for him in her own apartment...and from what he could tell, she was genuinely interested."
 
This was a dinner he couldn't repeat.

“Table Manners” by Chuck Grossart is another grand piece of flash fiction from this author. If you are just an average Joe, and the most gorgeous woman you’ve ever seen invites you over to her place for a home-cooked meal, shouldn’t you suspect she’s up to something? The answer is “Yes, you should.”

“Table Manners” provides more proof that Chuck Grossart knows what he’s doing in the flash fiction horror genre. Need help sticking to your diet? Read “Table Manners”.
