THIS SHORT STORY A DINNER FOR TWO WAS WRITTEN BY ZAYD KHRAISHI AND WAS SET AROUND THE YEAR OF 1950'S.

PAINTED PLASTIC SMILES

Gerald with an ever vacant look and a stagnant heart, arrives as usual. Just like a 'wind up robot' he lacks warmth and freshness.

PREPARING TO CELEBRATE( Rising action)

Jenny's tenth wedding year. Anxiously mashing the potatoes, fixing the soda- all with an inward gloom of monotony and an outward show of joy.

THE SUPPERTIME (The climax)

Breaking the fetters of usually mundane conversations, Jenny talks about her mother's paranoia and her father's fear of change and compares the situation with her own.

THE HORROR

As Jenny languishes under the impact of slow acting poison, Gerald feels appalled at being held guilty of her murder. Is he truly sad about losing her or dreading the sea of change in his life?

LIBERATION (Resolution)

Jenny finally embraces change, joy and liberation in her last breath. She truly celebrates her anniversary by tasting the free spirit of her soul. After all she and many like her deserve it!
