Slab Of Butter
James had few true pleasures remaining in his life. Time, divorce, and the company had taken most everything. His doctor seemed intent on taking what remained.
"You're going to have to cut out alcohol and fatty foods."
James stared down at his bowl of greens. Across the table, George was cutting into his steak. Steven, keeping it light, had a baked potato topped with sour cream, chives, and bacon. They both drank from judicious glasses of red wine.
"Can you pass me that plate?"
Ignoring the stares from his friends, James smeared a large slab of butter onto his salad.
