The Lords Lavish Feast - 50 Word Short Story Challenge
The Lord bangs his empty flagon onto the table.
“More wine wench!”
He shouts, food and spit flying from his open mouth.
A prepubescent girl pours red liquid from a jug. Her eyes scanning the table for empty plates and dishes. An excuse to retrieve more food from the kitchen.

Nice. Clear writing. I can imagine the spit mixed bits of food flinging from his mouth, and the girl wanting to get away from the lord, looking any for any excuse.
Awesome Job.
Great story, @gaby-crb. The juxtaposition of the powerful feast and the hungry waif is really powerful. Well done!
Is it just me or is there a slightly perverted subtext in this story?
BTW did you see the winner announcement for my haiku contest? I gave you an honorable mention.
