“A Fire in Georgia” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #91

“What do you do for work?” asked Georgia - the petite Latin teacher who would this time next year be my mother-in-law.She gets right to the chase like I do, I thought. I was dating her eldest - a doctor, after all. It felt like I was on an interview.I chuckled to myself, She totally thinks she is in control here. Then, mental images started showing me she was a Virgo. Oh, Lord, is all I could think. She’s got a lot of work to do. Becoming an ex-perfectionist is no easy fea...

“Amethyst Dreams” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #90

“Have you ever experienced Déjà vu, Natalie?”That was the first question she asked her.Most evenings, after I finished my homework, I would make my way across the street to visit Violet. I had been to her house long before she moved in, and actually helped my father and uncle build it for her. She wasn’t safe living on her own anymore, so far away. So, we built her her own house that was close enough for family to help out when she needed it.My parents mentioned it would be a big help ...

“Mrs. Bevins and the Mango Tree” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #65

I somewhat regret the many times I embarrassed my parents over the years. I just sensed they cared about “looking” like a perfect family, and I notoriously flipped their apple cart every chance I got. My parents were not strict, just super conservative - which I viewed as a more permanent punishment. Stiffer than any scolding or privilege they could ever take away. They were incredibly routine, meaning you could predict everything they did and said.We had the same thing on Mondays - Mrs. Paul’s fish sticks and Kraft maca...

“Remembering Zennik” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #64

The tale I am about to tell is the product of meditation, where I happened into a trance-like state allowing long-forgotten memories from thirty years ago to make themselves known to my mind. Before I begin, a bit about myself and background might better lay the groundwork to explain how I would be in a position to forget my memories. I guess you could label me a seeker of sorts, one obsessed with all things healthy living and natural, including, and especially, the supernatural. I have always been a magnet for the bizarre, and gravitate ...

“Two Hundred Leaves” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #63

Theresa began sixth grade at a school that had a choir, and she found she preferred standing around a piano singing scales to sitting in an uncomfortable desk taking the notes of a boring lecture. She had never belted out her voice before, or felt the cool vibrations that filled her head, face, and body when she sang out loud. She thought she sounded just like Whitney Houston. This was not the case. Neither her pitch, nor rhythm, was exceptionally good. So, when the time came to audition for parts, Theresa was given an alto part instead o...

“The Rings of Saturn” by Felicia Fontaine

Submitted to Contest #62

It was the day after Christmas, I remember because it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate by going dawn patrol surfing. She woke up early, saw there were waves, and headed out alone. I began watching her intently months ago, as we have technology on the Rings that allows us to view every human on Earth, and it just signaled she had less than an hour to live. The Council had just met, and I was the one who vol...
