weekend. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Best
Metric
A bunch of
starving artists lived together as roommates. There was one pizza
slice leftover from last night and they couldn't decide who could get
it. Before they started beating each other with their canvases, Ted,
the shortest and wisest in the group said.
“We could
draw straws.”
It made sense
to them. So they all took out their sketchbooks, their pencils, and
began to draw straws. Whoever drew the most convincing, beautiful,
realistic straw would get the pizza slice. What's fair is fair right?
Soon they
finished their art. All of their drawings could make angels sing.
They all agreed they needed an impartial judge. They asked the
landlord of the apartment complex and he replied,
“You did this
over a pizza? I knew you guys were a bunch o' loons.”
They still
wanted an answer.
“Eh, ennie,
meenie, that one!” Bill, the most timid of the artists, had his
selected. All the other artists gave him a pat on the back, despite
their intense malice for his victory they remained the best of
friends.
