“Happy Accidents ” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #120

He was just minding his own business, when the world stop. Counting the change in the register, after the morning rush, although his restaurant was still full of customers. The voices combined in a rambunctious slur of noise, but he tuned them out. The afternoon lunch crowd is usually rowdy, and it is almost time for the man to go home for his lunch break. A man with a blonde beard approaches his counter, and slaps a twenty dollar bill on the red bar. “I’d like a club sandwich with homemade onion rings,” His voice is as monotonous as his att...

“Social Pariah ” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #118

The line outside the luxurious country club is long, but thankfully I am only a few people away from the intimidating bouncers. They hold foreboding clipboards with lists of appropriate names. I have waited ten minutes to get to this point. The trio of older women in front of me are complaining of wasting time, but I use the time to prepare myself mentally. I rehearse my story. I am running through my lines as if the card is in my hands. My name is Lilly Summers. I know he is in there. In my deepest heart of hearts, with every inch of my sou...

“Ball Caps and Costumes” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #117

The riverbank was lonesome, not a soul in sight, but the critters of the forest are alive and well. The birds chirp, some of them sing, and the others hum. They gather in flocks, and they dance through the air whizzing around each other like dragonflies. The sun is hot for the fall season, but the South is usually warm around this time of year. Many locals come here weekly; some of the more dedicated ones come daily, but there is no one today. A pair of trails lead to the river; a person may decide they do not want to swim. Instead, they may...

“Nurse Sandy ” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #117

The center was quiet for a seasonal afternoon. Usually, the residents sat around playing bingo, cards, or dominos. The other residents plopped themselves in front of the television for entertainment. But today, everyone seemed to be in their rooms, patiently waiting for the day to end, so the cycle continued. Nothing out of the ordinary ever happened; some staff remarked that every day was groundhog’s day. Nothing ever changed, just the visitors that came and went. Although the residents would never know if anything did happen, and when th...

“She Lies” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #70

She was not sure how she let the situation get this out of hand. She knew it was her fault, and that at this point if he did not go down for it. She would. Unfortunately, he was not the reason they were in this situation. No, that was her fault too. The insecurity inside her, morphed her into a selfish monster. All it took was one wrong glance from the woman at the grocery store, and she lost it. She'd pressed charges on an innocent person. She pretended to be the victim, after she attacked t...

“The First Christmas” by Kaylee Aleece

Submitted to Contest #69

My nose wrinkled at the smell of gingerbread, and buttercream icing. Usually, I loved the smell of gingerbread, but that was when my mom was making gingerbread. The stench of the other woman left the home I used to live in with both of my parents….stinky, and stuffy. My chest felt really tight, and the more I tried to rake in more oxygen. The heavier the elephant on my chest grew, and I had to fight the urge to run back outside to my car. They say it is easier for the children to experience divorce when they are adults because they are old e...
