LITTLE DARLINGS
"You have to do something about those windows."
"Why, what happened?"
"The kids are drawn to them, they love watching the activity!"
"What's wrong with that?"
"People do look up you know. What if someone notices?"
"Good point. I'll get that window covering that allows the kids to look out but blocks the interior view."
"Wonderful. Thanks dear."
"What's on the restaurant's menu tonight?"
"Tonight the Soul Fusion Gourmet is offering Braised Doug, Fricasseed Joy, and Roasted Alistair."
"My favorites, such darlings, I'll miss them!"
"I know dear, but they kept trying to post Help Me signs in the window!"
100 words

FYI:
Fusion is a style of cooking that draws on elements from European and Asian cuisines; generally, the application of Asian preparation techniques to European or American ingredients; also known as East meets West.
In this case, it's East meets West meets cannibalism!
Following the advice of Stephen King, who recommends we kill our 'Darlings.' Sorry, bad pun, but I couldn't resist!

Well, thats a new take on "killing your darlings", lol. I liked it.
Gruesomely different. Well done!
If one of these days perchance I visit your abode I'm not eating at that restaurant!! Killing your darlings, all right!!
What a menu! Great stuff.
Dear Yolanda Renee,
Not sure about that menu. You have taken 'killing your darlings' to a new level.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Wonderfully demented!
killing your darlings sure went literal here today haha
Wow! Great writing!
And then there's a nice bone stock to follow, of course.
I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't help emitting an audible giggle when reading that! Working with kids I should know better.

Oooh, that is one nasty flash fiction. Who knew you had it in you, Yolanda! LOL
Thanks Donna, that means the world coming from you!
Thanks Sandra, yeah, good description.
Hi Denise, I neither cook, nor eat my darlings, I just write it! Honest!
Hi Sally and yet those folks whose names I stole, have not noticed!
Hi Rochelle, sorry, but you provided the prompt. It's not my fault I saw their little faces in the window.
Nicest compliment ever!
Hi Pat, very literal!
Thanks Tyrean!
Hi Ivy, you make me laugh!
Ah, Rosey, laugh away. Thank you!
Hi Joylene, Still waters do run deep!
You know I hate to waste.
Omigod! You've got one sick mind, wonder-wench! (And that is but one of the reasons I like you so much...)
Great job. Have a super weekend.
Hehehe! Love that little dark twist! :) Have a great weekend.
Well done, Yolanda. Flash Fiction is not my forte at all. I am in awe of people who write flash fiction.
Oh crumbs! Is that me you're roasting? :-(
Nicely dark, and great light-hearted dialogue (regardless of what they're discussing!).
Yolanda, that was a fun dark story. Thanks!
Yolanda, that was a fun dark story. Thanks!
I love the way you kill your darlings (and am secretly glad that I'm not among them). Thanks for the chuckle.
Great story, and especially clever of you to come up with it with just a window pic for a prompt! One of my short stories has a cannibal in it -- and my new WIP, too. I guess the subject interests me... Have a great weekend!
Room for one more at the table?
I'll bring some nice young wine to go with those entrees.
Hahahaha! I'm so glad it isn't me, I'm PJ. LOL! Great one Yolanda!
Of course it isn't you, how could it be! :)
Some nice young wine would be nice, welcome, pull up a chair, thewritersvillage!
Hi Lexa, how odd, but for some reason the mind went there. Does make you wonder, what with zombies all over the place.
Maybe next time Ga H, well see. Thanks!
What can I say Stephen, I go where the story takes me! :)
Hi Alistair, what can I say, your name was on the tip of my tongue!
Thanks Rachna, I'm slightly addicted to it!
Hi Christine, thanks, this one was fun too!
Hi Susan, yeah it's all due to a sick mind, I think someone dropped me on it at a very young age. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Luv you too lady!
