Frog and Peach is an interesting story from the current issue of the Black Warrior Review.

Typically, I shy away from “break up” stories (guy gets dumped and pines for the perfect girl who left him. boo fucking hoo! oh, except the one break up-esque novel I really, really like is Ann Beattie’s Chilly Scenes of Winter) but this one has something special to it with the introduction of the precocious little girl dining alone in the waiter narrator’s new section (which was also his ex-girlfriend’s section). The story ending is just so creepy to me, which is what draws me to the piece as a whole. I wonder what is going to happen next and, ultimately, I don’t want to know what is going to happen next. Or am I just reading too much into it?
