Flowers and Grapes Lead to a Date

Diana Alexia

Submitted to Contest #191

...I can buy myself flowers... Jessica hummed to the latest hit by Mylie Cyrus on her headphones. It was definitely the jam and, ironically, what was playing as she browsed the flower section of her grocery store. She loved bringing home fresh flowers every week while doing her shopping. It gave her home a life that her fake plants just could not do. This week was filled with new choices as they finally entered spring after a brutal and cold winter. Today, she chose sunflowers and baby's breath to take home. Jessica was not exactly su...

"I am dropping out of school," Julie said abruptly during their family dinner. Her parents stared at her in utter silence, and she suddenly felt awkward sitting across from them.

Karina stared at her steaming cup of coffee. She needed this one for sure. This was one of the most intense projects she had started since entering her career and she needed all the help she could get. Lately, she found herself feeling thrown off as if something was not right. But she did not necessarily consider it a bad thing. There was this odd feeling like she was not alone. Not like aliens or anything. More like she was sensing the world around her. She was not sure it even made sense to herself. Karina was always a so-called city ...

A Look at Her Reality

Diana Alexia

Submitted to Contest #101

Based on a true story… Sweating profusely after finishing her morning workout, she looked at her reflection in the full-length mirror of her bedroom. She grimaced as she acknowledged that her reflection was her worst enemy lately. She hated who she saw. Here we are again, she sighed, defeated. Who is this? It cannot be me, she assured herself. But much to her chagrin, it was her. It was really, what was left of her. Anyone dealing with a situation like hers would find themselves quickly facing the same reality. She was never like thi...
