“The Pond” by Jennifer Geer

Submitted to Contest #105

  The wind howled with the unrelenting roar of Mother Nature, she toppled trees and shook the roof of the old woman’s mountain cabin. She was on a mission only Mother Nature could do. Her mission today was Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Let the games begin! Mother Nature began to roar.   This was probably one of the worst storms to hit the mountain in decades. The smoke from the old cabin’s chimney was being carried across the tree tops of the West Virginia Mountains. There was no one was within twenty miles to see it...

“Sheltering in when Spring is supposed to be in the air” by Jennifer Geer

Submitted to Contest #35

 My brain awoke slowly. My body was still asleep, but the sound of "Mother Fucker", began to ooze out of the side of my brain slithering onto my pillow like hot lava flowing down the side of the mattress until I heard it "Plop" on the bedroom floor.

“A Thanksgiving to Remember” by Jennifer Geer

A Thanksgiving to Remember Her vocabulary was at its best this afternoon. The “son of a bitch” flew out of her mouth and stuck on the counter. “Mother Fucker,” went a little bit further and landed with a splat somewhere close to the entry door. Ronnie’s movements were swift and determined. The turkey was about twenty-two pounds. She was going to use her new quick turkey cooker tonight. Her small hands sutured the bird like a surgeon. She grabbed the turkey string and began to wrap it tightly around the turkey’s wings and legs. “There,...
