“Day of Sun” by Ash Hanneson

Submitted to Contest #90

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling wide awake. Sighing I glanced at my clock, 5:58... so close. I promised myself I wouldn’t get up before 6:00 am. Today was far too important to be sleep-deprived, I had to be at my best.

“Looking for an Adventure” by Ash Hanneson

Submitted to Contest #6

It was nearly midnight when Carmella switched off the radio. “I’ve had just about enough of this shit” she wailed. “How the hell did we get so lost?!” I sighed, knowing she’d take a moment to calm down. I gazed down the dark empty road ahead, gripping the steering wheel. It’s better not to answer Carmella’s questions when she gets like this, I’ve learned the hard way she isn’t usually looking for a response. “This wasn’t the way this was supposed to go” she said sadly. “I know, I know” I reassured her, “but lots of great ...
