Andy: Speed Date

Rate It: + / -   Current Rating: 0

"Hi."

"Hi."

"So, what's your name?"

"Anna."

"Ah, Anna – a palindrome."

"Excuse me?"

"A palindrome. A word or phrase that reads the same forward and backward."

"Oh."

"See, like this – A man. A plan. A canal: Panama."

"Right. And what’s your name?"

"Madam, I’m Adam."

"Nice to meet you."

"That was another palindrome."

A whistle sounded.

"I think our time is up," she said as she stood. "It was nice to meet you." She walked away without another word.

His second date approached.

"Hi," she said, "I’m Eve."

On his deathbed, Adam would wonder why he was still a virgin.

For fiction, I sure see this sort of thing happen a lot. :) Nicely done.
