“A Memorable Proposal” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #264

I can't believe he proposed to me this way but you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way because I will be telling this story to my grandkids and for the years to come. I was just getting off the plane after I had messaged my boyfriend that I was landing and he would make his way to find me at the airport. I was so excited that my stomach was doing flips and my hands were sweaty. After gathering my bags at baggage claim, I made my way out of the airport to wait for Jack to come get me. Soon enough I see him coming, a smile plaste...

“The Phobia” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #263

This is it. This is what all those therapy sessions and deep breathing techniques led up to. I want to face my fear head on, I don’t want this to hold me back from exploring the rest of the world around me. Man oh man! Do I feel wrong…Here I stand right in front of my biggest fear and I hate it. I hate it so much that I start to feel bile rise up to my throat just like the last few times I’ve tried to conquer my fear. I can hear my blood drumming in my ears and my heart lodged itself in my gut. I could barely hear anything, everything sounde...

“Rebirth” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #86

Rebirth Snow had begun to melt, dampening the ground as the season of rebirth came. Plant life slowly bloomed within the forest that sat at the foot of the Cold Mountains. Animals awakened slowly from their hibernation, various animals stretching and welcoming the warmth of the sun’s rays, shaking the long slumber and tiredness from their fur and feathers. Deer are grazing along the ground, their ears and tails flicking this way and that as other animals began to scavenge for their meals after a long winter h...

“The Halloween Promise” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #65

“Alright! My first Halloween back and I’m a ghost!” The specter fist bumps the air then looks around. “...now what?” It asks no one in particular but it did watch others roam about the neighborhood. Kids, parents and friends chatting and laughing. Kids knocking on doors, saying the usual Halloween phrase before moving on to the next door for candies. Then an idea struck it as a grin appeared on their ghostly features. “Perhaps...I can spook a couple people...” It says to no one, rubbing their hands together as it floated away at a fas...

“Halloween Fun” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #65

I worked on putting the finishing touches of my Vampire Queen make-up on and looked myself in the mirror. I look amazing in black and red along with the make-up. I smiled, “are my two favorite men ready?!” I shout as I look myself over a bit to make sure nothing is out of place. “I can’t find daddy!” My son shouts. “Alright. I will help you look for him!” I respond back as I make my way out the bedroom, happily satisfied with my appearance. Soon as I turn the corner, “roar!” I scream at the top of my lungs, turn and smack into the...

“A Wolf Among Neighbors” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #65

After a month of moving and unpacking, I was finally able to relax in this quiet little neighborhood. I do not regret leaving my pack, from the people that have raised me but being future pack leader is not my cup of tea. The idea of it makes me feel...tense and I do not do well with tense. I do not like making decisions for others or hear complaints. I rather live a quiet, lone wolf life away from my father’s pack. My mother was disappointed but in an angry disappointed way. Alright! She did not like my idea and nearly tried to kick my ass ...

“Autumn Treasure” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #63

A little boy with short black hair and a gleam in his brown eyes roamed over the materials that he has before him. He took a bite of his pumpkin spice pancake while ideas swirled in his mind, filled with imagination. So many ideas played around in his head as he ate his breakfast but when he finished, he could not help but immediately get to work. Construction paper of various colors, glue, markers, crayons, yarn, tape and oh the amazing possibilities that he could do with this. Quickly, he got up from his place and went to put on a coat o...

“Dreaming of a Future” by Lisa Onion

Submitted to Contest #62

Dreaming of a Future I sat beside a time capsule, a smile on my face as I read through a journal entry that I made today. A dream of my future and it was absolutely vivid. It felt real as if I were there, no blurry lines or anything to indicate that it was just a dream. With this dream...I am in love with it because it’s something that I want to happen one day. Before I could put it away in my time capsule for later to read one day, I began to read through it. Just the first sentence is enough to make my heart warm and put a big...
