I personally liked this one a lot -- prob more than most of your other works. It was sweet and genuine and took an 'uberistic slant' on simple concept like that of a lunch date and subsequent (SPOILER). In the world of SWM's short story workshops, this definitely would have been a contender!

Ah, that's the stuff.

Just the right length for it's subject. Sets a nice light mood, sticks with it, and delivers at the end.

(I'm trying not to get MORE behind on the stories!)

I think that cute is the operative word here, the scene (sorry but at 690 words I don't dare call it a story) has a nice pace and delivers a very well balanced pay-off. My only hitch is that, at the end of it, I felt something is lacking and, taking things into perspective, I suspect that my problem is that there is little in the way of showing. We don't know much about these character in terms of appearence and body language. I feel that it's less noticeable on such a little than it is with a longer story, but it's a hitch sometimes need to be scratched.

Thanks everyone

One of my goals in the story was to keep it as much dialogue as possible- i deliberately wanted to keep the details of the couple vague and just have it be talking until the end-hell the Lunch stuff is mainly from the title as they never specificy in the story itself what there doing.But I always like stories that acknowledge that Ubergirlness( or really any uberness) is kind of objectivly odd and silly and so are many of the tropes.

but glad for the good response. Honestly i wrote the first line of the story...surfed the web for about half an hour, and then half an hour after that published it. So it was a very quick writing process for this one-- but wanted to do a light cute story, and glad it was recived as such.

A great story! This is well written. Will there be a continuation to this story? Is it a stand alone story? Thanks

Sometimes short, sweet and poignant is just perfect. I was smiling at the end. It works.
