Prompts = Free, Cutlery, Hugs
Story New — What I Do For Free Food
Paul waited impatiently for the presentation to end; he was there for the free meal. He wondered if the decision to attend a timeshare presentation had been the best choice for today.
Two oily caffeinated salespeople had yammered on so far and a third was just being introduced. ‘Hugs and hellos my lovelies. I can offer a premium menu this afternoon if you sign up.’
No one moved.
‘You’re savvy investors. What if I offer the Oneida cutlery you’ll be eating with today — for free.’
Paul’s stomach grumbled. He was tempted to buy just to get to the free meal.

The holiday season had been making itself known to Ben: Black Friday had come and gone and the number of shopping days ’til Christmas was less than thirty. He felt alone and he knew others out there were feeling the same. And so he decided to do something about it.
Which is why he wandered his local mall carrying a sign, “Hugs not shrugs”, and gave free hugs to anyone who asked or even looked like they needed one. Such as the young man shopping for cutlery at London Drugs. One hug, two lives made a bit better.
