Hi Jack,
As usual you never fail to please and this is just one more notch in your belt of fantastic flash fiction. Excellent story - short and not so sweet. May I offer one suggestion? Use the word "overpowering" rather than "overbearing" -- that's it! Everything else was perfection.
I am beginning to love flash fiction, especially yours. Your description of the bus station is so right on that I could see the gum stuck to his shoe. I could see your character at the end as he spoke to his friend, and could imagine him winking.
I had no idea what was coming great twist.
This was a pleasure to read.
