“A Marriage Dilemma ” by Lily Rama

Author note: First of all, this story has nothing to do with the prompt above. If you were hoping for a story about "someone who critiques everything or acts like it," I'm sorry, but that's not what you're about to read. This story you are about to read is a comedy piece I had to write for an assignment. Before you begin reading, please understand that the assignment was to write a story that somehow included Doritos, an...

“The monster in the basement” by Lily Rama

Scrape... scratch...scrape...Jim can hear the monster's claws scraping against the cement floors as it creeps closer-he can see the eerie shadow closing in, the darkness of the illumination a haunting black. Jim can feel how the room grows cold, like Jack Frost has whistled an icy melody into the air. Jim only huddles closer to the wall, as he shakily hides in the little corner behind the water heater.He had never meant for any of this to happen, he hadn't wanted to take the late shift, he hadn't wanted to stay here...

The girl clutched onto the boy's hand, not caring how strange it appeared to others.It was weird that she was holding air.

She smoothed out her pleated skirt."Do I look okay?"The boy smiled, a small smile that only revealed few of his teeth. But still, charming.You look lovely. ...

“An Unusual Date” by Lily Rama

Dates are hard.But they're especially hard when your date is a 95 year old man who thinks he's 30. Don't ask me why I thought it was a smart idea to join a dating site, much less accept a date from someone who has their age description set as 'probably older than you.'Yeah, now looking back I see where I messed up. And I bet you're thinking why the hell I didn't pick up the clue that the man was probably in his 50s or so. Just read the story and maybe you'll understand!-------------------------------------Shelb...

“Stupid Reflection” by Lily Rama

My reflection stares back at me, judgment sparkling in its eyes. You are nothing. It spats the words in my face. I puff my chest out, trying not to let its words get the best of me even though my heart is starting to crack inside. You are an unimportant ghost. A twisted smile creeps onto my reflection's face. It clearly enjoys taunting me, it clearly doesn't mind robbing me...

“Memories” by Lily Rama

A heavy silence drifted in the air and the scene felt like it was part of an old time movie, the ones that are in black and white and silent as a mouse. Jack glanced at Peter, who sat across the table. The boy's eyes were downcast, and he moved his fork around his plate, which was piled high with spaghetti. It had been an hour and he hadn't eaten a single bite.Jack glanced at the empty wooden chair next to Peter. Lila should've been sitting there. An arrow splintered Jack's heart and crystal tears welled in his eyes. She should...

“Her Beauty” by Lily Rama

The creatures of the island stared, their eyes sharp with judgement, as the newcomer trudged through the land, her head hung low. Her fur was a worn out brown. Ugly! They thought, smiling devilishly, trying to contain their snickers of laughter. Horns twisted out of her head, unlike the island creatures' perfectly straight ones. Her tail was short and more of a stub rather than majestic and long like the island creatures.The newcomer stared down, focused on a red leaf laying in the grass. How she wished to be equal to the ...
