Luckiest Girl

Submitted to Contest #98

TW: suicide I woke up last Monday excited for what my week had in store for me. The sun was already shining bright and the birds were singing their happiest, melodic tunes. I looked over at my clock placed perfectly on my nightstand so that I could always see the time directly from bed without moving too much and it glared a vibrant 7:15 am.

The past five years I had worked so hard to be noticed at work and finally get the big promotion I had...

Mommy,mommy,mommy,I want to go outside now! You promised I could swing at the park! I want to get ice cream, and make some new friends. You never play with me and I'm bored. Get up! Get up mommy! Shut up Nia, shut up! Fine let's go to the park, it is a beautiful afternoon but first, mama needs to put on a pretty sundress and fix her hair. Come to think of it, what are you wearing? You look a mess, go change while I get ready. Mama is looking for a new friend herself. It feels amazing out here, the warmth of the sun against my...

The Gilmore family hadn't all been together in over 5 years. Lucy was celebrating the recent union of she and her new husband and decided enough was enough, it was time to bring her small family together. Lucy was the only child of her parents, Robert and Barbara Gilmore. Lucy hadn't seen nor spoken to her parents in about 2 years. They stopped speaking when Lucy decided to drop out of college and pursue her dream of songwriting. It was through songwriting that Lucy met the love of her life, Jack Massey. Jack was a very talented country s...
