“Muscle Memory” by CB Pinky

Submitted to Contest #81

What Malcolm and Eli didn’t anticipate while having their first sexual experience together during Jewish Summer Camp next to the horse graveyard is that they would be reintroduced fifteen years later -- as an IT expert and a middle-of-the-road insurance broker. It’s not as if they regret the beautiful nights they spent together rolling over the bones of old-timey-Appaloosas, it’s just a bizarre and inappropriate thing to bring up to a work acquaintance after 15+ years of radio silence. Malcolm was given the assignment to fix an ongoing ...

“Geriatric Penguins, and Why I Give a Shit About Them” by CB Pinky

Submitted to Contest #81

Rockhopper penguins typically die 10-15 years after they hatch, usually at the mouth of a sea lion, entangled in a human’s net, or from avian cholera. However, Wellington and Drake are pushing 34 this December, and the twilight of their prolonged life spent under the roof of Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, I find it only appropriate to reflect on their journey inside these walls. Here is a not-so-brief timeline:December 1987: Wellington and Drake are hatched at a SeaWorld. March 1991: Wellington and Drake arrive at the Shedd Aquarium a m...

Submitted to Contest #59

Amy started fourth grade at a new school six weeks ago, and she has yet to tell anybody about her deathly gluten allergy.

Every single day, it seemed, she was being offered a birthday cupcake that Jennica or Kyler or whoever brought a treat for the entire class. Someone’s mom probably worked really hard on those cupcakes, and Amy didn’t want them to hear that they almost kil...

Submitted to Contest #56

September in the year of our lord 2020, Andrea was not looking forward to what her university Theatre Conservatory’s take on current events (re: racial inequality, police brutality, and pandemic-having) was going to be. So when the invitation for COPS: An Immersive Theatrical Experience arrived, she was less than thrilled to find out that it was mandatory content to attend, lest she wanted to receive an F at the beginning of the semester. Sitting in a “socially distanced” blackbox theater in-the-round, Andrea unfortunately was able to s...

“To: The North Pole, 1100 W. Sleigh Avenue” by CB Pinky

Submitted to Contest #55

“Can you keep a secret?” Stupid Rachel Seyfarth said to me while she was behind me in the Bathroom Line. “Santa isn’t real. I know it because I’m Catholic, and Christmas is about God. Santa is just a way for not-believers to make fun of God.” Santa, if you’re reading this, which I know you are, I want to tell you personally that I do not believe Stupid Rachel. I could not understand why she was saying these horrible things to me. And worst of all, when I said back to her “That’s not true,” Mrs. Anderson gave us both red slips for talking i...
