#132 of Short Stories
A lion has to choose between two cans.
~ Under the hum and glow of the economically placed lamps above, the lion carefully regarded the options presented between the two cans he held.
~ Lentils and Bean Soup, with a red label and some sort of swirly font along the bottom rim.
~ A confused glare.
~ Beans and Lentil Stew, with a green label and some sort of vines depicted along the bottom rim.
~ So much apart, so little common, and no useful difference that the lion could discern.
~ With a loud groan, Kyle returned both cans to the shelves. He picked up a bag of rice on his way to select an onion from the produce department.
