Prompts = Sushi, Spy, Portrait
Story 1 — She Was Who?
The room was stark and cold, bare for a table and two hard chairs. A hardened interviewer sat relaxed on one side. A miserable sushi chef sat at the other.
It had taken six hours for law enforcement to believe that the chef hadn’t known the woman in the hoodie who’d come crashing into his kitchen, gripping her side, blood flowing through fingers, demanding help.
She was also an enemy spy.
It’d taken another two hours for the chef to convince the agent to let him go back to his restaurant; he promised to draw the spy’s portrait using sushi.

Story 2 — And Now For Looney Andy

Why do they call paper orientations “portrait” and “landscape”? What if I want to see a portrait of some landscape, like a single tree? Or a landscape of faces? What do I call it then?
Another thing that makes no sense is I Spy With My Little Eye. What little eye? I don’t have one. Do you?
My grandson the other day, with his little eye, spotted something pink. The sushi in the menu. No. The portrait of sushi. No. Maybe it’s landscape. No. Turns out it was a thumbnail of sushi.
Thumbnails; the new normal, neither portrait nor landscape.
