“The Bad Parts of Falling In Love” by Caroline L

Submitted to Contest #157

Come out. Harlow texted, and after a few glasses of wine and a night to myself, how could I say no? More distraction, more people to talk to and who knows... more guys to meet. It could only be good for me, right? Elliot and I hadn't seen each other in a few weeks, and I was not okay. I mean, I was, but I wasn't, if that made sense? Okay. Where are you? I responded, and she sent me her location. Typical. A restaurant next to a popular club in Austin. I was over this club scene, but I could at least meet her for a few drinks and the...

“Gods Lessons” by Caroline L

Submitted to Contest #132

"Are you there, God? It's me..." The words came from lips again, but the words were inaudible. I was scared to even speak them, let alone anything, out loud. Not here. Not now. God, if you can hear me, I beg you to help me. Please get me out of here. Please help me. If you know me, please save me. I closed my eyes and put my cold, shaky hands together, but the only thing that came to my mind was the past hour playing over and over in my head, like a movie reel on repeat: I saw the lights, red and blue, coming at me straight ahead. Then I h...

“(Almost) Everyone Sins” by Caroline L

Submitted to Contest #117

It was Friday the 13th in October and the only thing we were told as a requirement for the halloween party attire was to wear black. The costume didn’t matter, so when I walked in, in my black cat suit as Cat woman, I didn’t realize just how many costumes entirely or almost entirely involved the color black. My friends were dressed up as a gorilla, a groom, Zorro, a vampire and a black angel, along with a few other people I had seen around in college in imaginative costumes revolving the color black. I then saw the host, and my long time fri...

“I Found It” by Caroline L

Submitted to Contest #103

11:11. It popped up on my phone screen as I looked down to a text tone in hopes it was him. Of course it wasn't him. But it is 11:11, I have to make a wish. That was an easy one: what I wanted...or rather, who I wanted. Is that allowed with wishes? Or maybe I should ask for a sign to my wish. 11:11 was a sign, but how could it be a sign for what I really wanted if I hadn't asked for a sign yet. And so I took a deep breath and thought to myself: Oh universe. If he is going to text me, please, please give me a clear and definite sign of anothe...

“A Defeat of the Heart” by Caroline L

Submitted to Contest #66

"It doesn't count if you're already planning your defeat." Harry started, staring at her lips as he said this. He was unreasonably drawn to them. Did she get them done or were they always that appealing? He hoped they were natural-- not that it would really matter-- but natural was better. They were natural, he was sure. He only met her briefly, but knew enough to know she was not fake, which he liked. That was rare in his world these days. He also was staring at her lips because her eyes were uncomfortably looking down at her feet. Why was...
