Tuesday, and time for me to hit the Flash Fiction Challenge by Matt The Book Blogger! Check out the original challenge here.
This time our prompt song is Can’t Help Falling In Love – by Haley Reinhart. A beautiful song, but I love the rendition by UB40! Fellow Brummies, after all!
And so it goes… (not a romantic piece this week, though I love this song so much and it should conjour up romance… but a little twist!)
Womanly Wiles
Oh I know how it works. Got it down to a fine art now.
That gentle sway of the hips, the coy stare, that fleeting smile.
It doesn’t take much.
A few fawning words, flattery… I have them eating out of my hand within no time.
They just can’t help falling in love with me…
They want to protect me, to spoil me.
I’m not going to stop them, it’s a pretty good set up I have.
All my needs get catered for, material and sexual.
Emotional? I don’t have a heart, feelings mean nothing to me.
Men.
Stupid creatures.

Hope you enjoyed it!
But I Smile Anyway...

I see we approached it in similar ways. An excellent piece, Ritu (and I fully agree about UB40)

Ooh, gloriously unconventional! The conversational tone works really well to contrast with the subject matter.
Best wishes, Matt

When I first realized I was falling for Hannah (she told me first, but I…) well, I posted on Facebook, “Wise men say…” and a few minutes later she commented with, “Only fools rush in.” I figured since she was few years younger than me, she wouldn’t catch it, but she caught it alright and let me know! So even though “Home” was OUR SONG, this one was one of them. We liked aspects of both the Elvis version and the UB40 and wished we could combine them.
