Not So Special Blue Plate Special

Submitted to Contest #103

NOT SO SPECIAL BLUE PLATE SPECIAL “Crash!!” The sound of all the plates on the breakfast table tumbling to the floor followed by a bloodcurdling scream. The scream emanating more from shock than fear, came from Carey Stupolski, a guest in the home of her uncle, Stan Fizurski, and his family because she had recently witnessed a few potentially dangerous confrontations between her parents in her own home. “The craziest thing,” Carol said, “I sat eating a plate of Uncle Stan’s delicious pancakes and reached for a glass of o...

Cabin in the Wilderness of My Mind

Submitted to Contest #102

TW: attempted suicide          My asinine, dead end job really has left me on the edge of depression lately. Add to this catching my scumbag boss in the sack with my brainless Barbie of a wife and the fact that my creditors seem ready to foreclose on the precious few possessions I haven’t hocked to satisfy my 15-year addiction to the trotters and you’ll see why I think the end of the road looms for my worthless existence.      I’ve made up my mind to do it and that’s why I have chos...

Guess Who Came to Breakfast?

Submitted to Contest #100

Guess Who Came to Breakfast?     “Crash!” The sound of all the plates and glasses on the breakfast table tumbling to the floor followed by a bloodcurdling scream as cousin, Carey Stupolski, also saw herself hurled off her chair in our dining room and saw herself covered with pancake syrup.     The scream emanated more from the shock of our breakfast guest than from fear. Carey had been living and dining with us, the Fizurskis, because her mother Marcia, my mother's sister, needed her temporarily remo...

Too Hot to Handle

            Bobby Stanford, like all his fellow freshmen at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin, MD, could hardly wait until June 13, 2019, when he would be released from the drudgery of schoolwork and head for the beach and noon-to-dusk fun in the sun and on the waves of Ocean City. The day after “serving his sentence” in the classroom he and his buddies hopped into the car driven by Joey Jasper, the newly-minted 17-year-old driver and automatic “leader of the pack,” and took of...

The Golden Opportunity

Submitted to Contest #98

                                     The Golden Opportunity                The sunburn cases began to mount up as the year 2300 drew to a close. Not just first degree burns, but second and third-degree burns--from only a half-hour exposure, in the middle of November.    ...

A Window, a Curtain or a Highway to Nowhere?

Submitted to Contest #97

                             A Window, a Curtain or a Highway to Nowhere?        Night falls like a dark curtain across the rear window of the bungalow that faces onto our deck. On the surface, the color of the night seems to shield all that happens across the silent lake beyond from discovery by any observing it.       However, at f...

Resetting the Clock

Submitted to Contest #96

Resetting the Clock This damned inventory count took two entire business weeks—would you believe it? Two whole weeks. I think I am totally surrounded by incompetent fools. I have a good mind to fire them all and start over from scratch. After extracting myself from this den of stupidity I have to claw my way through this insane LA freeway traffic, after stopping at my favorite bar for a quick one to drown out the day of course. Then I exit into my suburban neighbo...
