Submitted to Contest #51

Ten years had passed since he’d finished Law School, and the reunion for the Class of ‘72 promised to be a lively affair for Steven Deeks. Much had happened since then; he’d passed the bar examinations and moved south to join a prestigious law firm in the City.

They passed a smattering of barns and medieval-looking dwellings with thatched roofs, the buildings becoming increasingly few and far between, only snow-dusted fields and trees visible in the car’s headlights. Jack slowed and pulled over. ‘ You sure this is it? It’s a lot more remote than I was expecting.’‘I did warn you it’s in the middle of nowhere,’ Martha said, ‘although I only remember visiting the cabin in summer before, and the last time was almost thirty years ago.’ Checking the map on his phone, Jack heaved a huge sigh. ‘D...

‘Should I get a parrot?’ Emily posed the question as the lift door closed.‘What?’‘A parrot? Or maybe a parakeet?’‘Why on Earth would you want a parrot?’ Mariella asked, her painted-in brows knitting together beneath a wispy fringe.Emily stared back at her friend, mirroring her puzzled expression. ‘Em, you’re not making any sense.’‘Oh, so you can hear me then?’Mariella’s eyes darted left then right. ‘Of course I can hear you.’‘Only you don’t seem to be listening. Hence, the parrot.’‘OMG, Em, have you totally lost it? How many glasse...
