FLASH FICTION PROMPT
(Today’s prompt is what I’d call pure um, ‘crack’, meaning that it was written for nothing more than stress relief and a good laugh as it’s been one of those days. I figured I’d share though, instead of just tossing it out. Cheers!)

My heart leapt through my throat and splattered on the floor.

“When he said android, I wasn’t really expecting something this

idiotproof?”
“First two are standard, I guess time will tell with the other, yes?”
“Asking or telling?”
“I think I’m taking the uh, liberty of asking.”
The smile on his face made the sun rise with a halo and two free-range eggs, sunny-side up.
