“Her essence” by F. B. Lee

Submitted to Contest #61

It was another cold dreary November day. The trees looked dead and lonely from the loss of their leaves and nothing to look forward to until spring. I felt just like them alone and waiting. Waiting to run into that special someone, actually anyone. It had been a long time. Oh yeah since Her. I pushed her out of my mind instantly, I needed to forget. So here I am in the stupid mall again. Shopping for little things trying to forget Her. She violated my brain again. It was over, she had made that clear. So I had to move on and now I was ok ...

“Farm Boy Farewell” by F. B. Lee

Submitted to Contest #53

Well I had been on this farm for eighteen years, all my life. I was leaving to go to college in three days. To say the least I was a little uneasy. I had never been to a big city before. We lived in the middle of nowhere and the largest town was at least fifty miles away and we only visited it once a year when we sold cattle. It had all of two thousand people in it. My home town had about half that and was twenty miles away. We were poor, dirt poor they would say. From the wrong side of the tracks and we had never gotten anything from ...

“Home” by F. B. Lee

Submitted to Contest #51

I have been on the road for what seemed eternity now heading to my favorite place. I haven't been there for thirty years now since I was a teenager.

I passed the last town about twenty miles ago and if I had blinked I would have missed it too. There were not as many farms as I remembered as I drove down the old highway full of potholes from m...

“Waiting for her” by F. B. Lee

Submitted to Contest #49

I had been waiting for her for forty years now. She had been late to our first date and that's when the waiting began. Not by much maybe five minutes, just fashionably late back then. But she was worth the wait because when I saw her she took my breath away. I felt like I had been waiting to find her my whole life when we first met on our first date. Then and every date after she was always late and I grew accustomed to it, her being late. She had a hard time choosing the right dress or her hair was a mess. At first it made me app...

“Badgerman” by F. B. Lee

Submitted to Contest #48

I used to be a farmer. I loved to plant things and watch them grow. I raised chickens, pigs, and cows. I was content with my quiet farm life. I loved to work with my hands doing hard labor from sun up to sun down. I was born big as my mom used to say. There was not a mean bone in my body and I could not hurt a fly. I was a big farm boy who just wanted to be left alone. The world could pass me by and that was just fine. I lived in the middle of no where on my parents farm. It was mine now they had both passed on the year before. A ...
