Extremely short-short story, "Women"



"I just don't get it, Don, I try I mean I really try but I just don't think you can get women - "
Don interrupts, " I feel it is possible for men to understand women though it is likely rare. The trick is to ask a lot of questions and listen to the answers and read between the words not just the lines, read their faces, their eyes, the way their body moves or doesn't move, their actions most of all. Most of what a woman is saying she does not say with words, Bill. She speaks with every second of her being, you just have to really 'listen'".
"So you have no clue, either, you're saying?"
"No clue at all fuck they're unfathomable," admits Don.
They both laugh.
