Submitted to Contest #51

She hated the beep-beep coming from her phone to alert her that she had a message when she was in the middle of reading her favorite books. She didn’t want to stop reading but figured that it might be news from her sister who was 9 months pregnant and about to go into labor any second. She took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at the message. “I know that you only want to be friends and I am okay with that for now. Just keep our secret okay? I know that I am asking a lot but please k?” She looked at the number and it was her...

“At The Plate” by Marcia H.

Submitted to Contest #49

At The Plate Flora found herself in the same position she had been in many, many times before. She didn’t like sitting in the hot sun but she couldn’t find any shade. Her long auburn curls were tied back in a ponytail and stuffed under her cap. The red and black shirt she was wearing in her opinion only made her hotter. She wondered why they couldn’t have planted a big tree for shade twenty years ago instead she felt like she was in the middle of a dessert. Waiting was no big deal for her. She waited for her baby brother to be born...

Submitted to Contest #44

She stood there looking at herself in the mirror and wondering what happened. She saw herself but then I didn’t see her real self. She didn’t see that carefree girl who enjoyed life and all it had to offer. She didn’t see the girl who would take chances, who would love unconditionally and was in love with life. What she saw was a woman who was beat down by life. A woman who had let people suck all the life out of her. Her smiles had turned into frowns and griminaces. Her hair was greying like her personality. She coul...

“The Man with the Crazy Hair” by Marcia H.

Submitted to Contest #36

The Man with the Crazy HairBy: Marcia HutchersonDear Diary, It’s 3 am and I can’t sleep again. I didn’t think we would meet again so soon after my last entry but yet here I am. I am wide awake. I tried to sleep, really I did but there is something worrying me. Something that I saw today kinda scared me. I told Harris about it but it didn’t seem to bother him. He is fast asleep and snoring loudly. He probably thinks I just have been watching too many crime shows and now I think that everything is a CSI show now. But, I don’t know. ...
