“Spa-Tacular” by Jessica Livolsi

Submitted to Contest #268

Taylor took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the Seattle rain before entering the busy city building. Her heels clicked on the tile floor heading toward the elevator to clock in for the day at the Spa-Tacular Corporation. When the elevator doors slid open, the sound of keyboards ticking away amplified by the northwest rain tapping the windows flooded her senses.  Taylor sat at her desk and used her front facing camera on her phone to adjust her red lipstick and smooth out her tight brown pony tail. Once satisfied, she straighten h...

“Southern Comfort” by Jessica Livolsi

My hands cramped from holding on to the steering wheel for so long and my neck ached wanting nothing more than to get to this damn bed and breakfast already. I have been driving for days  to do this nature photoshoot and the night was only getting darker and my hunger was increasing my temper by the minute. I turned my steering wheel onto a dirt road. Finally, I was getting close. I imagined a vision of a warm bed which softened my mood. The headlights illuminated the bed and breakfast, Southern Comfort. Though comfort wasn’t exactly th...

“A Meaningless Redemption” by Jessica Livolsi

Submitted to Contest #209

*This story contains some use of drugs, physical violence, and gore.* Otto pushed the door open to the gas station, bell chiming to his entrance. His heavy boots stamped on the concrete floor as the door closed behind him, the air conditioning providing a nice reprieve from the August heat of Nevada. He took a breath, today was already a fuck show. He looked back at his rusted Ford extended cab truck, gritted his teeth as he walked to the desk, ringing the service bell. Ring. Ring. ring ring ring. "Alright!" A young man shouted from th...

“Just Like That” by Jessica Livolsi

Submitted to Contest #108

My eyes cramped from trying to wake up so early. The alarm seamed louder than usual and I couldn't stop myself from slamming the damn thing on the ground. With one last groan I finally got out of bed. The first day of school was never a great time for me. It meant that each and every day I got to eat lunch in the library and pretend I have friends so my mom wouldn't think I am freak. As if she could ever understand what it meant to be a teenager now a days. At least in her day she could do something like party or drink, now, if you aren't ha...

Author bio

My name is Jessica and I love to write as do the rest of you beautiful people. My preferred genres are fantasy and science-fiction but a good mystery is always good too. I have a wonderful fiancée who encourages my writing and artistic hobbies in amazing ways. My dogs are my biggest fans and my cat is only mildly amused but I think she’s proud of me too. I hope to one day write a novel so that I can put a piece of me out there for people to enjoy. Or friggin hate so much they can’t stop talking about how bad it is so people read it to see what they’re talking about. I work a full time, high stress job so sitting down to write is one of those things that help me unwind. I have a big imagination so it cramped in here sometimes. However, I am old school so typing stories is a bit of a struggle, I prefer pen and paper but I’m making the transition to scrivener okay. My favorite quote is “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” God is good and has blessed me with great people and great opportunities and I pray that he gives you all great blessings also. Happy writing!
