Paul sat with his eyes closed in his retreat center room, all 40 square feet of it, in prayerful solemn silence. And then his phone went off. Hey, I know you got your thing this weekend. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed our impromptu study session the other day Paul smiled at the text. Me too! Although I don’t know how much studying we got done, lol No, he thought. This was not the time for this. This retreat was not to focus on the cute girl he met at the library on Thursday. It was to decide how exactly he was going ...

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. If you could please take your seats, we will begin with the main purpose of our dinner tonight, the lifetime recognition of Jeffrey P Element and all of the work that he has done for our community.” A round of applause erupted from the hundred or so guests of the small banquet hall. Jeff sat at his table, stoic, glass of coke and a cup of coffee in front of him. He didn’t look miserable, but he wasn’t happy either. Coffee wasn’t served yet, at least for anyone else, but since this was Jeff’s big...

“Friends and family, welcome to the wedding reception of Alvin and Belinda. Now, the happy couple are asking that we do something a little different tonight” Fred took a sip from his beer and began to dread what the next part of this announcement might possibly be. He already felt overdressed and out of place here. The last thing he needed was something else to make this night anymore awkward. “There is about 30 minutes before we take our seats. As the Master of Ceremonies for tonight’s event, I would like to invite you to introduc...

Jess looked at her completed vision board and was excited for the year to come. She looked at her three main parts, the largest parts by far. A large four bedroom house complete with a quarter acre lawn and a white picket fence. It was a perfect house to house a perfect family. Speaking of family, to the bottom right of the house was a picture of a tall, dark handsome man with a dress shirt slightly open to reveal a chest that would put most marines to shame and the faint outline of rock hard abs underneath. She had taken the picture from a ...

The doctor took out two one-hundred dollar bills and placed them in front of the bartender. 'Top shelf? Maybe treating ourselves for Christmas?' the bartender said. 'No. It’s got to last the day. Although, quality is important. Give me the most drinkable bottled beer you have.' The doctor said. The bartender turned and went to the bottom fridge behind her. She opened the door and took out a bottle, showing it to the doctor. 'Import ok?' 'As you said, it is Christmas' The bartender smiled and took out an additional bot...

High in the Evening Sky ‘It’s not often one sees a maiden drinking alone at a tavern. Do you mind if I join you?’. Tomlin grabbed a seat facing across from the attractive young woman staring into her mug of ale. ‘Go away’ Sheena said. She never looked up as she took a drink. ‘Sheena, let the poor man sit down and have a chat with you. Maybe it will make you feel better.’ Willa said. ‘Besides, he’s cute and maybe worth at least a glance.’ Sheena looked up. ‘You’re right, you are a touch handsome. You may sit. But try to ke...

The sound of the kettle whistling on the stove reminded Cassie of her Nana, may she rest in peace. Peace was the first word that came to mind whenever Cassie thought of her grandmother. Calm, contented and serene. She seemed to always be in a state of grace, alone or with friends, relatives and the loved ones who came by to chat and say hello. It seemed like the kettle was always on, a cup of tea being heated for a welcomed visitor. Cassie took her kettle off of her stove and poured the hot water into a cup with the tea bag inside. She...

Leroy, is everything ready to go? I want this thing ready to blow right at the end of my interview” Dan released the button on the radio and turned to this publicist. “A building implosion would make great television, would it not?” “I think it would make amazing television Mr. Irons”, his publicist said as she returned a text on her phone. “For the last time, call me Dan.” The radio beeped and buzzed. “We’re ready to go as soon as you give the order Dan,” A voice said from the radio. “Thank you L...
