    About this ebook

    Brooklyn Bites is a collection of shorts stories that centers around the compelling people, diverse relationships and simply remarkable food in Brooklyn, New York. Meatball Sandwich and Cream Crumb are the third and fourth stories in the compilation.

    In Meatball Sandwich, Jeremy sits on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, miserable from having been dumped by text the night before. When some stranger named Maggie sits down next to him against his wishes, Jeremy imagines a giant fish leaping out of the East River and swallowing her whole. That is, until she offers him a homemade meatball sandwich and a night on the promenade he never expected.

    Cream Crumb follows Josh into Peter Pan’s Donut Shop, where he is about to have his last meal before jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. Josh orders a cream crumb donut for the first time and is so overwhelmed by its taste that his life changes in completely unexpected ways even before he finishes the last bite.

      Meatball Sandwich

      Jeremy got dumped last night. And it still stung. Of course it did. It was just last night. Stung like only rejection can. Everywhere. Sure, they were only together for two months. He wasn’t in love or anything foolish like that. But he liked her, maybe even a lot. Worse, he thought she liked him. He stopped thinking that when she dumped him, in a text message. Last night.

      Tonight, he sat on a bench on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, slow snowflakes dropping everywhere, and thought about her, the dumper. He wondered how she was spending her first night without him. Was she on a date? Was she telling her girlfriends how relieved she felt? He wondered for three seconds if she felt as lonely as he did. Only three seconds, because he knew she didn’t.

      Most of all, he wondered why she had dumped him. She said she didn’t really feel a deep connection. Whatever that meant. He thought they got along great. It had only been two months. How deep could their connection be? They had fun together. They laughed a lot. Had great sex. Or did they? Had she
