“WWMJD (What Would Mrs. J Do?)” by Jennifer Fremon

Trigger warning: Contains references to substance abuse and violence.Its funny how you don’t ever really appreciate things until you no longer have them, until they are gone. We were 16. What 16 year old appreciates anything really?I remember there was this one morning, I must have gotten a total of like 3 hours sleep the night before. I show up for first period like I have just crossed the finish line at the NYC marathon, all breathless and sweaty and full of teenage drama. I slide into my sea...

“Free Will ” by Jennifer Fremon

As always, Hallie woke up right before her alarm went off. Despite this, she still set the alarm every night before bed, just in case. You never knew when something that was routine might suddenly change.Although if Hallie was being perfectly honest, not much ever changed around here, not unless there was a accidental bug in one of the Network updates, and even those they usually fixed within minutes.She sat up and slid her bare feet into the fuzzy brown slippers that were always on the floor right by h...

“The Road to Hell” by Jennifer Fremon

“What do you mean you are quitting?” Two of the other woman in the hallway immediately turned their heads to stare at her. Alicia took a deep breath and made an effort to lower her voice. “No, I understand what quitting is. Its just that most people give some notice. They don’t, out of nowhere, say hey I am not going to pick up your kid today, good luck.”Alicia stuffed Chloe’s pink backpack into the small wooden cubby hole outside her classroom. “Yes I understand that, Becky but you made...

“Lost and Found” by Jennifer Fremon

The hardest thing about divorce for Ana wasn’t that she was ending her ten year relationship with Mikael. No, the thing that was the most frustrating, the thing that was currently keeping her up at night, was all of the stuff. “Literally,” Ana said to her best friend Isabelle, over coffee and French toast on Saturday morning. “It is literally keeping me up at night.

“Walking Through the Storm” by Jennifer Fremon

“I’m Alison”, the women said, offering Brianna her hand. “Please have a seat.”She gestured towards the chair across from her desk and Brianna sat, her eyes scanning the office. The decor in the room was simple: desk, two office chairs, a few potted plants on the windowsill, a few scattered books on a table in the corner. A large poster hung on the far wall, a silhouette of a muscled woman with the caption “Strong women aren’t simply born. They are made by the storms they walk through.”“So Bri...

Author bio

When I was a child I swore I was going to "be a writer". I ended up becoming a teacher instead, and running a martial arts studio. But thanks to my teenage daughter (who also loves to write) and these prompts, I have recently rekindled my love of writing! The things that bring me joy right now are spending time with my husband and daughter, snuggling with my 9 month old puppy, rolling around on sweaty BJJ mats, and coffee. Definitely coffee. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY and don't plan on ever living anywhere else.
