Forbidden Love

LeQuitta Randolph

Every night I ask my mother to tell me the story of how her and my father got together, and every night she would tell me how my father, Prince Joy swept her off her feet with his sweet words, and gentle actions. They first met at 16, and after several years, of cross encounters realized they were head over heels for each other. My grandmother Mary-Ann despised my mother, and her mother, no real reason other than their status. My mother's mom lost her husband, my grandfather in the war of 19. She remained unmarried and only a few years later...

My Mistake

LeQuitta Randolph

Submitted to Contest #212

I doubt you'll open this letter, once you see my name attached, but if you do open it and read it like I hope, even if you choose not to forgive me, maybe you'll have a better understanding of me. I don't want you to pity me, and I'm not writing to fuel you with excuses for my actions. I take full responsibility for what I did and how it has effected you. Although I could never understand your pain, because I have never been on the receiving end of the pain that I caused you, I am not without pain. My mother was a mean woman, not at first...

Here we go again

LeQuitta Randolph

"I can't believe we're arguing over this." Denise's long time boyfriend stormed into the living room out of her sight. He flopped down onto the couch with an aggressive huff. He could hear Denise storming in from the other room. She stood, arms folded in front of him. Her full lips in a slight pout, her golden brown eyes reflected anger and sadness. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "Look, I don't want to argue with you, okay. I just want the truth." The funny thing about her intuition, it was never wrong, or off...not even by a hair....

Altered

"How clever am I, Charles Key King, Ha! say that a few times fast. But as I was saying, how clever am I, I've discovered a way to duplicate myself in a robotic form." Charles King was a backyard, garage inventor, although he has come up with some amazing inventions, he's been rejected numerous times from the invention committtee. Charles feels like today will be different. He beems at his reflection in the mirror as he continues to go over his speech pitch. "Of course I'll leave the "how clever am I" part out, and the gloating." He took a de...

Right place wrong time

"Are you coming tonight?" Kiesha finished applying her red sex me lipstick before turning in my direction. This was the twentieth time she asked was I coming with her tonight. "I wasn't planning on it." I responded as I scooted back on my bed until my back and headboard met. "Oh come on!" she begged, it'll be fun, when have I dragged you along anywhere and you didn't have fun?" She flopped down beside me and formed her mouth into a pout. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaassssseeeeee" don't make me beg she laughed. Instead of answering I asked...

Reality

Kenya!! There's a beam of bright light approaching me fast, I can feel my heart punching through my chest. The girl calling my name doesn't look familiar. She's reaching in my direction. My body doesn't budge, however my mind is racing. I cannot move no matter how hard I try. The wailing of my alarm sends a shock wave through me and at that moment I wake up so fast and fall over off the bed, sheet and blanket entangled in my leg. My hands are clammy from sweating. It takes me a few minutes to realize I was only dreaming. My mother burst into...

Sweet Innocence

Submitted to Contest #102

You know what's funny? Time. Well its more ironic than funny, but I've learned to laugh at it because it slips by you in what seems like the blink of an eye. I smile at my reflection, my reflection shows me that time, has caught up to me. The days have passed since I've been able to run up to my father and have him swoop me up in his arms and twirl me and dance with me as if there were music playing and and audience that cheered with admiration and awe. My smile becomes a laugh at the memory, however my gaze grows sad as the realization of t...

Dinner for two

Submitted to Contest #100

*click clack, click clack, the sound of Katrina Miller's heals continued down the long stretch from her office to the exit. Co-workers glared trying not to get caught staring. Knowing this, Katrina held her nose in the air higher and a pleased grin drew across her face. Before she reached the exit of her office building, her assistant cut in front of her and began speaking immediately. "Donavon called." She pumped her eyebrows multiple times before giggling and continuing. "He wanted to see if you were available to talk? He's on line 1." She...
