“One Week Holiday” by Mira Echenim

Submitted to Contest #104

AT HOME It was Monday. I remember the day and the time precisely because that day led to a series of events I would never forget.

Submitted to Contest #100

Three p.m. Alan walked like a determined man sure of his decision. There was no way he was going to change his mind anymore. The program was figuratively an Ishmael to him, and he had to put an end to it. Walking with him was a young lady with pale brown skin, and a little boy who looked like her but with different eyes. While his were hazel with flecks of gold at the centre, hers were br...
