Greg Luti’s flash fiction “The Black Eye” introduces Tommy V. — the nicest, wittiest, and most charming guy in town — until he shows up with a mysterious black eye that leaves everyone wondering what really happened behind that easy smile.
Tommy V. is one of the nicest guys around town and is someone that you and just about anyone would be happy to meet. Yeah, the guy has the wit to say anything to make the room feel at ease. A charm that can’t be taught. Sure, he had smarts, but that wit, that charm. You can’t teach that.
His kindness came from his seemingly easy way to accept all around him.
The guy had been known to chat with every person you could name. He has had dinner with presidents on the red and blue, celebrities of all statuses, lowly garbage men who take out the trash, and janitors who complete the insignificant issues that can change our world.
