Metamorphosis

© 2000 Dee Galloway

Not long ago, my best friend became a butterfly.
Before she flew away, she had me to dinner
and served me all her favorite foods.
And there among the cake and casserole,
cheese and crackers and purple-flavored Kool-aid,
I asked her how it had happened.

Hot Idle

(flash fiction) © 2002 Dee Galloway

When a mill temporarily stops producing steel, the workers keep the furnaces going because it would take too long to heat them up again when production resumes. During that period, the mill is said to be in "hot idle."

I guess it started when I noticed me and Joanie was wearin' the same shoes. 'Course mine had the tiny little rhinestones goin' across the toes and hers had 'em goin' along the sides, but they was the same shoes. They was the same blue velvet shoes, the same color blue like that blue hooded sweatshirt little Nathan liked to wear when he was littler.
