Tuesday heralds the event hosted by Matt The Book Blogger. A song as a prompt, and a 100 word maximum Flash Fiction piece! I love thus!

This week the song Skinny Love by various artists…
I must admit I’d never really known this song before… Haunting…
And my effort today…
Thinspiration
“C’mon Love, eat up!” Da placed a plate filled with his famous roast lamb, and all the trimmings. You know, succulent lamb with mint sauce, golden roast potatoes, 3 vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, gravy. It smelled divine. I just want to grab my cutlery and eat it all up. But the voices from the web…”Really? Will he even look at you if you are fat?” “You want those carbs…really?” “Think thin!”
Da was looking over at me, concern brimming from his eyes. “Please love, have some, it’s your favourite.” He placed his hand on mine. “You’re looking far too skinny, love.”
Just a little thought harking back to those thinspiration sites that have been clogging up the web, and the effects they are having on these young girls, and boys.
Hope you enjoyed!
But I Smile Anyway...

Thank you, Ritu, for interpreting that for me. I am SO out of touch with today’s music and wasn’t even 100% sure what that was about! Great job.

Thank you! To be honest, I am pretty out of touch too, but the song’s title really put this idea in my head… I’m glad you liked it 😊

Love, love, love that song. The only one that I was familiar with prior to your post was the one from Bon Iver. I really enjoyed the one you had posted, Ritu!

Yes, it’s the original version. I think that they used it once on Grey’s Anatomy TV show.

That is so interesting that sometimes the cover version is better known than the original. Thanks for sharing 🙂
