Oh my goodness, this is such an adorably sweet flash fiction entry.

Extra love for the Pomeranian, lol, I have one named Galileo. He had a little sister kitten 8mths, named Jupiter.

Love for the Beagle, for my love of Snoopy. hahaha.

FYI - I sent FS card list

Congratulations!

    Years ago we had a beagle, named Mindy. Great dog!

Hi JMD,
The fictional story being written on the napkins seems to be coming to fruition in real life. Maybe it was a premonition.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a good day.
Joan

This is the sign of a real writer: "Napkins which came with my coffee, were filled with story segments, notes and thoughts as I arrived at Penn Station. " I hope you stuffed your napkins in a pocket.

Great start to a good story.
Napkins which came with my coffee, were filled with story segments, notes and thoughts as I arrived at Penn Station. - The first comma is not needed. "Were filled' is passive, clashing with your last sentence - 'I quickly abandoned'. Maybe (I filled the napkins which came with my coffee with story segments: notes and thoughts...) Just a thought.
Best wishes.

This is a cute story, and you did it all in 75 words. Good job, especially as you hinted at the potential of a love story. I'd wish you the best of luck in the contest, but I have a story in the same one.

These short stories are such a challenge. It sounded like your coffee was served with napkins with preprinted notes and story thoughts--but I don't think you meant that.
There were no spelling errors, and the font was easy to read.
Thanks for writing.

I wanted to hear more about the beagle. They're my favorite dog breed. Haha. I guess, even the greatest love story idea flies out the window when there is an opportunity to cultivate a real romance. Great story. Best wishes in the contest.

    We had a beagle (Mindy) for 14 years. She was a great dog.
    Thank you for reading.

How can you go wrong with stories involving beagles, blondes, and brunettes? The love bug does bite people unexpectedly and you never know when or where. Super entry, John!

That ultimate sweetheart story seems to have been quite short lived. Lol. Dogs always draw attention to beautiful young women, or is it the other way around? Lol. A fun story for the contest. Sending best wishes.
