The story went from just starting to just ending all in about 6 or 7 pages ( slightly exaggerated). Like most good stories the details, reactions, the oh what will the character say or do now, it what makes the story interesting. There was this one part in which Zen's niece calls Nadia, Zen's date "Black Trash" and attempts the throw wine at her as they leave the restaurant. Now at this point I'm thinking sista girl is going to turn the restaurant out, shut the place down or at least act a straight fool, but nothing as a matter of fact Zen ask Nadia to go out to the car and wait for him. I thought oh he'll nah, this writer didn't do her homework because it's no way in the world a Black woman was going to allow a Japanese woman or Any woman to call her out of her name. Second thought was what happened to Zen's niece who disrespected her uncle, her father and therefore dishonored the family in public?  Everyone knows that family honor among the Japanese culture is a big deal.I would compare this story to a bowl of Campbell's chicken noodle soup in that it's missing the meat.
