Ergo, the Ogre

It’s time for GirlieOnTheEdge and Sunday’s prompt word reveal for Six Sentence Stories! The word prompt for the day is Perfect.

Randy did all the right things. He brought her a dozen Shasta daisies (her favorite!), opened doors for her, and chose the most romantic restaurant in town. Randy hung on Shawna’s every word. He asked her about herself rather than talking about himself like most guys. It was only their first date, but he was so perfect that Shawna thought she had found Mr. Right aside from one caveat: he talked with his mouth full.

It reminded her of a garbage truck.
