The Big Day and the Aftermath

Submitted to Contest #36

Dear Diary,Nervous beyond relief. I was not prepared for today. Nothing had prepared me for such a huge day.All the makeup and people swarming around me. Can't think straight. My hair is twisted up tight in a bun pinned with flowers.The dress has an aura of intimidation surrounding it. Friends and family have gathered to see the both of us. I can’t wait to see you standing at the end of the aisle.The anxiety of seeing his face not being at the altar terrifies me. My heart flutters and my pulse races. I inhale deeply…You elevate my life to a ...

Photographs are a Million Words

Submitted to Contest #14

The brunette teen stares at the cameras before her. She isn’t even sure which one she should be getting. So many options and the prices just keep going up.“Kensa, you can get whatever one you want. You need not worry about the price darling,” her father whispers in her ear.“Daddy, I can’t decide which one I want. I have it narrowed down to two, but there are other things that I have to consider and I haven’t weighed those options.” She sighs about the choices before her.“What do you mean?” His tone is curious about her hobbies.“I have to thi...

Bedtime Brats

Submitted to Contest #11

“Come on little ones!” Their mother calls through the hallway. “Time for bed!”The two girls run through the house and hides. You can hear their snickering echoing because of the walls. Hearing the two girls playfully laugh in the same house that she grew up in brings a smile to her face.“Mommy, why are you crying?” My youngest daughter asks me in a quiet concerned voice.“Just thinking about all of mommy’s memories here.”“What memories,” my older daughter chimes in.“The tales of two sister Gemini’s. They were thicker than thieves. Inseparable...

Persistent Penni

Submitted to Contest #10

Today we are gathered to celebrate one of our friends.“Penni took everything that went wrong and somehow she managed to keep pushing through it. No matter how many curve balls life threw at her she kept going.” The crowd erupts in laughter. A few people make crude comments before her.“She would take everything bad and find a way to spin it into something positive. Her perception of how to handle like was not like that of most people our age. Being twenty is difficult enough. Throw on top of that everything Penni has been dealing with the las...

Partners In Crime

Submitted to Contest #10

Watching the two girls grow up together was the most rewarding thing that any parent could wish for their child. A partner through thick and thin. No matter what happens, they were going to see it to the end.Or so you would think -***The two girls met living across the street. Where one went they both went. Inseparable. Together they made it through all of elementary school and middle school. High school started getting more muddled.Particular things were starting to tear them apart. One day I listened as they screamed across the street at e...

Friend-Zoned at Work

Submitted to Contest #9

My heart flutters. The butterflies in my stomach are going hectic. Palms clammy. Watching him walk through the aisles of the store, I feel myself smiling.“What are you smiling at?” Iphis jokes with me.“Not a thing.”“Manda I know you better than that.”“Damn it, I’m too high to think right now.”We both laugh as we go through the aisles.He presses his hands on my hips and guides me in front of him. Due to his height, he has to straddle me as he takes his steps. I wonder what people think when they see him and I walking through the store togethe...

Mission: Moonlight Adventure

Submitted to Contest #8

The engine purrs. Intake hisses as the beast whips around the winding road. Wind tousles with her chestnut-colored hair.Moonlight leads the way to an empty pasture. Lightening bugs fly through the open air. Meghane pressed the brake pedal to the floor and shifted to park.She jumps out of the convertible and spins around. Honeysuckle permeates the air. Humidity frizzes her hair more so. Meghane made her way towards the center of the field and lays back on the soft grass.The small town illuminates the night’s sky as the pasture sits on a high ...
