“Desperate Remedies” by Cara Fidler

Submitted to Contest #248

We’ve all been there: endured the blind date from hell with a guy who turns your stomach. You know the type: short and portly like a hobbit and a head like a cue ball. Not surprisingly, he’s smitten with you and continues to call despite your efforts to dissuade him: “The medication I take makes me drool.” But like a termite, he is an unwanted, tenacious pest. Fortunately, the good folks at People Repellants are on standby waiting for your call. You call to make an appointment for a customized Pest Elimination Plan. After that, a Pest Elimin...

“Picture of Love in Bloom” by Cara Fidler

Submitted to Contest #242

I splurged and made the trip from Baltimore to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. to immerse myself in an exhibition of Impressionist paintings, Monet being my favorite of the Impressionists'. I had arrived early and there were just a handful of people standing in the area where I was.I slowly made my way through the museum admiring the many outstanding paintings awash in color and light, the likes of which I had only seen in pictures on a much smaller scale. I was enthralled by the most magnificent paintings, artifacts, and scu...

“The Librarian with a Ponytail” by Cara Fidler

Submitted to Contest #142

I first saw him on the campus of a university in Florida. He was drop dead gorgeous with dark hair and beautiful eyes and he had a long ponytail and was wearing cologne. He was the librarian. When I checked my books out, I said hi and gave him my best smile. His shoulders were broad and he wore a tight red short-sleeved shirt that was open at the throat revealing some chest hair. '"Did you find what you were looking for?" he asked, smiling. "Yeah," I said, I racked my brain trying to think of a way to extend the conversation and asked, "A...

Submitted to Contest #103

   I desperately wanted to visit my elderly father who was 85, but my car was in need of repairs and wouldn't make the three hour drive to my sister's home where he lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Short on cash, I decided to write my sister, Erica, a letter, and try to appeal to her sense of basic decency.  Dear Erica,    I am writing in the hopes that you and I can set aside our differences and work together so that I can come for a visit to see Daddy. It's been sometime now since I've seen him, and I very ...

“Stumbling Through the Darkness by Cara Fidler” by Cara Fidler

Submitted to Contest #86

It had been 6 months since Frank and I broke up after I found him in bed with another woman. Devastated, I ran outside, picked up a brick and threw it through the bedroom window shattering the glass. The pain was so excruciating it cut me like a knife. I stumbled to the car, adrenalin rushing through my veins. Shaking like a leaf, I put my keys into the ignition and peeled wheels out of there. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. The magnitude of the betrayal was suffocating and greater than anything I'd ever experienced. I drove ...
