Finger-Lickin’ Good
A Cluckin’ Good Time
This was written for Friday Fictioneers, which is hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields who provides us with a photo prompt. Each week’s challenge is to write a 100-word story inspired by the photo. Click here to play along or just read more stories.
If anyone has noticed that I haven’t been around to reply to comments or read people’s stories much and cares to know why, I’ve been busy. I feel bad because I want to participate and reciprocate, and I only have a few days left before my Medium membership expires, but I have horrible time management skills and tons of projects I want to do that for some reason refuse to complete themselves. Hands off, AI. I wrote and recorded three songs. One is currently available, “Lie To Me,” along with the slightly shorter Theoretical Single Mix. I wrote another song that is in production. I wrote and had AI illustrate a children’s book. Hands on, AI. I have zero artistic ability or budget. I also, obviously, recorded an audio version. I’m going to self-publish through Amazon soon. I’m taking an improv class, which, yes, does seem like an oxymoron. “Let’s practice being spontaneous.” I also just auditioned for a haunted house, which I think is like interactive theater. I better practice being spontaneous. It turns out that sitting alone in a room for hours on end only coming out to argue with one’s roommate or clean up dog shit isn’t good for one’s mental health. Who knew?
Finger-Lickin’ Good
“How much is that chicken in the window? The one with the…”
“Stop singing that!”
“Humans use chicken as a term for coward. I wonder why we’re afraid of them.”
“If everything tastes like chicken, why the hell do they have to eat us?”
“Mother always said I’d lose my head if it weren’t attached. Look at me now, a window model. Wait… Where’s my head?”
“I always wanted to be a model, but not a nude model. This is so degrading.”
“This is the worst colonoscopy I have ever had.”
“Has anyone else seen Human Centipede?”

If you loved “Here I Stand,” you’ll like “Lie To Me.” I guess the next song has to reference sitting.:
