One-Minute Writing of the Week: Ron.

I choose one of the daily winning response from each week and feature it as the One-Minute Writing of the Week. This is for the week of 10/2-10/8.

One-Minute Writing of the Week:
Writer: Ron. (Monday's winner)

Prompt: Mass-Produced. Several months ago, I asked you what is always better homemade.

For today's prompt...what do you prefer when it's mass-produced?

All the ads say it’s hot and juicy, and it’s hot alright, but the juicy’s really just grease that congeals pretty quickly back into fat. He’s reasonably sure he can feel it coating his arteries even before he swallows it. None of this, though, keeps him from eating there three or four times a week, nor does it cause him to consider ordering a salad or the lo-cal fruit parfait.
His wife tells him he’s turning into a bacon-wrapped double cheeseburger, but all he hears is how delicious he is, how much she wants to gobble him up. He loves her dearly, but she just doesn’t satisfy him anymore. He’s always at least a little disappointed when her home cooking lacks the same degree of hypercaloric excess, refuses to dribble down his chin, promises neither cardiac arrhythmia nor an ever- expanding waistline.

Congratulations, Ron.! You're welcome to put a One-Minute Writing of the Week Winner button on your blog. Click here if you'd like to snag it.
