Family Trees

Submitted to Contest #90

Sylas watched the new family move in, limbs and trunk vibrating in anticipation of what these different people would bring. He felt his sibling’s responsive excitement in his roots. The movers unloaded the large truck and carried boxes and furniture into the house, working for an hour before the family arrived in another vehicle. Two parents and two children! If Sylas could have clapped and cheered, he would have.   Sylas loved children. He loved the way the sound of their laughter, the way they ran and played, the way they soaked up...

Submitted to Contest #89

I wiped my palms over my denim-clad thighs, anxiety growing and surprising me with its intensity. I hated to admit that I was sweating this meeting, but I was. “So, what made you want to hire a matchmaker, Nate Collins?” Geneva Malone, CEO of Malone Matchmakers folded her hands on top of her large mahogany desk and leaned forward, one perfectly shaped eyebrow inquisitively arched.

Been there, done that, Kai thought, remembering his experience as the new kid on the block once upon a time. The only thing that h...

Oliver Morgan woke to his feathered friends chirping outside as sunlight streamed through the dingy sheets at the cracked, pealing bedroom windows to pierce his eyelids. Spring had sprung but Oliver’s life was still in the crapper.This too shall pass.Oliver heard the words as if Gramps was sitting beside him and whispering in his ear. He’d been seeing and hearing Gramps a lot lately, almost as much as when he’d been alive.The unconventional and wily Wiccan had made an impression on his life, no doubt, the only saving grace of Oliver’s e...

Kindness of Strangers

Submitted to Contest #85

“That’s the thing about this city. People are so rude,” Keisha Martin grumbled at the guy shoulder surfing behind her. At least she was only reading on her Kindle and not taking care of any bank transaction or anything else involving a password. Still, she didn’t exactly want him seeing what she was reading either. Not that she was ashamed of it, but she was in the middle of a raunchy sex scene and that was nobody’s business except hers and her book boyfriend. Homeboy didn’t get the message or evidently thought her criticism wasn’t mean...
