Peas, capers, chunks of carrots and chicken, it looks like chicken pot pie. Red wine, no trace of the white or the martini, only the pate of a green olive and a pimento' red tail. Duck pate. I see it. Couscous, rosemary and crème Brule, you fed me well. All I did was sit there and gorge, you in your dress, me in my suit. This was to be our night, but I was a pig and took it all, even you. Vomit.
Tom Meek is a writer living in Cambridge, MA. He teaches fiction writing to youths and reviews films for the Boston Phoenix.

Submissions: are no longer being accepted. TS has closed down. But feel free to peruse our archived stories and interviews.
Tuesday Shorts placed writers we know alongside those we don't to communicate that quality writers are everywhere, and make one community. Writing—no matter how frustrating an endeavor it can sometimes become—should always be a challenging game we can all play.
Jacquelyn Mitchard, whose Deep End of the Ocean was the first Oprah's Book Club selection, not only recommended making Tuesday Shorts a MySpace blog, but also contributed the first piece. More excellent work followed by writers known and unknown, and pieces continue to draw readers who want a good story but only have a minute to read it.
