“Broke Back Buck” by Lynn Smith

Submitted to Contest #78

She did what? You’re kidding right?Nope. I’m not kidding.Yes but who spends that much on something like that? Um? Her? Her.Her being my mother. It also makes so much sense today.It wasn’t long ago and we were riding horses and checking on pig pens. We always had a great time out there in the country visiting. The kids would anticipate our arrival simply because they never knew what kind of new animal Grandma would have in the house or running around on the acreage out in the middle of no where.

“Pajama Party with the Cardinals ” by Lynn Smith

Submitted to Contest #77

Pajama Party with the Cardinals. Such a beautiful morning. Sipping a Nespresso Latté and looking out the french doors. My eyes gazing as the white flakes hit the flowing creek.

This can’t be happening. It’s a joke right? I thought for a moment that maybe they were filming a new episode of punk’d or impractical jokers. I was the star of the show. Being an only child has its pros and cons. That’s where I come in. Me. I’m the only child. I spent years overlooking that my parent’s bought love and that my needs were typically met ...

“A NEW CONSTELLATION ” by Lynn Smith

Submitted to Contest #56

A New Constellation 2020 Smith, Lynn Rilean Ever doubt destiny? I did. Many times. Not suppose to be somewhere only to find out that indeed you were exactly where you were supposed to be. As if you were strategically placed there by God? Maybe? To learn something new. To feel something new. To further discover your best self. The prompt to write about an established group welcoming a new face was an instant decision for me. Me. I’m the new face. Them, they are the established welcoming group. It’s...
