The smooth criminal
Flash fiction prompt by Raymond G. Taylor - #1
"Oh, Jeff... I love you too... but...", wait, let me count the ways.

"Stella"?
"Sorry, I fell asleep".
I love you the way you stop to admire yourself in every mirror
I love you the way you ogle every curvy female form as we pass by
I love how criminally smooth you think you are
I love how you never actually listen to what I have to say
I love how I once found your crooked smile endearing
I love that my eyes have been perspicaciously opened
I love that I finally see ME, Jeff...
Not the accident looming in the blazing headlights of you!
I love me Jeff, not you
I am liberated...FREE!
Bye, bye. Be happy with your reflection.

Please forgive the clumsy cut and paste. I would like to publish your entry (or entries) to the Oh-Jeff challenge in an upcoming book and of course need your permission to do so. Details are all here: https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/oh-jeff-the-book%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Thanks, Ray
Wow! What a powerful original funny poetic and ultimately tragic take on the challenge. Loved it and brilliant illustrations too. Really well done
great take on this! loved it
What a mic-drop moment! This is fiery, empowering, and oh-so-liberating. Stella’s realization is pure gold—she flips the narrative and reclaims her worth like a boss. Self-love for the win! Jeff can keep his mirror; Stella’s moving on to bigger and better things.😊
Seriously, there are so many Jeffs around these days. Narcissists seem to be multiplying. Good one AD, I too love the headlight diss. Kudos.
Bahahah. Funny! Was this “ten things I hate about you” inspired?😁
Hahahahahhahahaa bye Jeff!
Nice work, 👌
Well-wrought! As to which AI Jeff is creepier, or which is even the reflection, I cannot say.
Lol, I wonder if your Jeff and my Jeff might actually be the same person?
This is wonderful. This right here "love that I finally see ME, Jeff... Not the accident looming in the blazing headlights of you!" I especially love this.
I love your poetic take on this. The irony laced through out is delicious! Great entry!
Gurl you snapped on this one! Loved it! Narcissist be gone! 💅🏾 Brilliant & Evocative! 💪🏾 Go sit down somewhere Jeff! 🤡 LOL 🤣
Ah, and we all know the type! Brilliant, Antoni!
