Cold Pizza for Breakfast
“Morning!” Astrid said kissing me on the cheek, and then the lips.
There was an hour before work. I got up and wandered into the kitchen. I hadn’t eaten much and was feeling ravenous. Fortunately my fridge was full of pizza. I grabbed a large wedge and began stuffing it into my mouth. Astrid followed me into the kitchen. She was frowning.
“You’re having cold pizza for breakfast Melissa?” She asked surprised. I shrugged my shoulders and kept eating.
“I don’t care.” I answered with a full mouth. “I’m hungry and I love cold pizza.”
“Obviously.” She replied unimpressed.

This is an excerpt from my novel My Life in Darkness. Having pizza as a prompt made me think of this. Honestly, like Melissa, I love cold pizza directly out of the fridge.
This weeks prompt was pizza provided by the Carrot Ranch April 2 Flash Fiction Challenge.

You’re not alone in your love of cold pizza. Back in the day (before keto and the rejection of heavy carbs) there was nothing I liked more than cold pizza for breakfast,,, if I had managed to keep my hands off it the night before!

Even if I’m still hungry I do my best to ensure there’s still a couple of pieces left for the next morning š

I remember this scene – it was so telling even with such small nuances. Nice pick.

Thanks. I just instantly thought of it when I saw the prompt. I did give it some heavy editing though so it would make the limit.

Pfft, cold pizza is awesome. Astrid needs to be replaced. Besides, she’s a member of the Dark Brotherhood. š

Looks I’m the only fan of hot pizza here. Maybe I should try it cold, don’t you think?. Loved the excerpt.

I like hot pizza as well, but I also like it cold too.

I’ve never tried cold pizza. For me, as a rule, pizza should be hot. That was what I had meant in my previous comment. I should have worded it differently. šš

There is no bad pizza. Though some is way better than others. Cold is perfectly acceptable too.

Fun that you had a cold pizza scene to pull from, Joanne! I like that Melissa is comfortable with herself around Astrid.
