Flash Fiction: Consider the Pomegranate

Listen to me read this story

Consider the Pomegranate

Red garnets and rubies overflowing in indecent abundance. For Eve, the irresistible blush of her sex. Scarlet caviar draped in white lace lingerie, the rose colored ovum waiting to give rise to mankind. In ancient Iran, sweet Persian teardrops in the sheik’s harem to stain the lips of his concubines. Elixir to sate the Indian loversĀ of the Kama Sutra; lure of Zeus to coax Persephone from Hades realm.
