Oh—this one snuck up on me. I kept thinking “haha, sausage line,” and then suddenly I’m stuck on the A4 paper like it’s a magic trick she’s done a hundred times. That tiny pause at “36 euros” felt huge~

And the regret part? So human it hurts. The kind of thought that taps you on the shoulder later and goes “hey, remember me.” City moment, blink and it’s gone, but it stays.

Thank you so much for reading, Asuka 😊 I hope very much that I write human stories. For humans, about humans, by a human. Seems to sound so easy, but here we are, discussing endlessly how AI will replace creatives. Yeah, sure.

I read, I liked and I subscribed. We need more of such beautifully written pieces that transport us into a different world for a few minutes and send us back with something important to remember.

Oh man that’s beautiful - does exactly what a short story should - paints a tiny picture that stays in your head after you’ve read it.

Thank you 😊 Yes, I try writing human short stories. It means a lot that you found time to comment!

Funny how a mundane premise such as buying something from the deli counter can seem so tragic. Regret, then forget - the motto of the western consumer conscience.

That brought back some memories of going to the butchers with my dad early on Saturday morning to get the tasty liverwurst! Love how you paint the picture with your words!

Thank you so much for reading 😊 Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do!

My grandparents used to make liverwurst sandwiches for us which we called Grandpa and Grandpa sandwiches (couldn't hear the difference between Grandpa and Grandma). This vignette is a beautiful image of contrasting impressions and perspectives.
