“World's Best Lie” by Nicole Farmer

Submitted to Contest #231

"Y aura-t-il autre chose aujourd’hui?" asked the portly waitress as she stood at the register, counting the money just handed to her. She tabulated the owed amount versus what was paid, then closed the register drawer mostly with her plump, round belly. She smiled warmly at the gentleman on the opposite side of the counter. Despite his wild and engrossing beard, a small but appreciative grin returned from the gentleman."Non, merci," he replied in a barely audible tone, nodding politely. The waitress blushed, attempting to busy herself with o...

“The Offer” by Nicole Farmer

Submitted to Contest #188

“So what’s the catch?”“A choice, no catch. You can either stay here and meet your fate or leave with me.”Romina Vega flipped the business card between her fingers, thinking. “You make it sound easy. I can’t just stand up and walk out of here. If you haven’t noticed…”Romina pushed forward, repositioning herself in the metal chair. Her chains chattered as she moved.“If you tried to leave, the guards wouldn’t be able to stop you.”Romina pressed down a short laugh. There was no indication that she posed a threat to anyone. She was young, ba...

Submitted to Contest #186

“You’re probably wondering why I called you out here…”“My guess it would have something to do with last night.”“It does...And it doesn’t...I know you had a hand in what happened last night. It all worked out too perfectly for you not to have some part in it.”“I don’t know what you--”“Don’t deny it. Katie told me everything.”“Did she? Well then, exactly what did little Miss Katie say?”“She told me you planned the whole thing from the beginning. Starting on the night you all went out to the clubs. She told me you were planning to get some of t...

“Dark City: Arbitration” by Nicole Farmer

Submitted to Contest #153

Jael Vega considered her next few moments. Her black pencil skirt and single-breasted blazer felt repressive compared to her usual fatigues and tank top. It was the Ministry’s formal uniform, and considering the occasion, she thought it fitting. If this was her last time wearing the unflattering suit, she wanted to appear neat. Her bare legs sprouted fresh new chill bumps despite the room’s warmth. An odd sense of unfamiliarity rested heavily within her as she slipped on a pair of low matte black leather heels. Paladins were not exactly...

“Shot For Death” by Nicole Farmer

SHOT FOR DEATHShort Story by N. D. FarmerZoe was late. Not just kind of late. Late, late.She ran several traffic lights, and narrowly missed t-boning a Subaru as she turned into the parking garage of the shopping mall. She ran through the mall entrance and towards Parisians hoping to reach the time clock in time before it marked her officially late. Dismissing the back stairwell, Zoe headed for the elevator. Although the elevators constantly needed service, they were closer to the time clock. Today, she hoped the elevator wouldn’t ...

“Off-Piste” by Nicole Farmer

Submitted to Contest #129

OFF-PISTE By N. D. Farmer Edward Draven slid to a stop halfway down the slope. The mountain laid out a natural obstacle course ahead of him, offering a line of trees, shrubbery, and bends challenging experienced skiers. Below the mountain lay more rolling white hills and tucked away private cabins dotting the Blue Ridge landscape. Edward wasn’t sure if his nerves or the multiple layers of clothing he wore caused him to feel a bit too warm. Sweat pressed his t-shirt close to his skin and made the back of his sweater damp. The chilled wind...

Author bio

My mom used to tell me I spend too much time with my head stuck in a book. She didn’t exactly discourage me from reading, but as a parent and seeing my little girl following my same footsteps, I understand now what she meant. I wouldn’t say I’m an avid reader of books. I’m more a lover of a well written script. Shouldn’t be a surprise that I absolutely love the script for Aliens (superb) I grew up reading Point Horror books and Beverly Cleary (to this day I have a soft nostalgic spot for Ramona Quimby). I do miss those YA tales that at the time seemed far more adult than I was but not too adult. I started into Stephen King like most kids do. Saw It and had to compare the book to the movie bc i heard it was scarier. (Shrug) From there I went in a lot of directions with reading some were required college assignments others just for plain fun. Favorite literary read? Emily Brontë Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff just stuck out. Contemporary fav? Anne Rice (the early years before Lestat found God) Whitewolf’s Vampire chronicles… The script for Pitch Black —-> Pitch Black fanfiction…. Harry Potter ( didn’t get past the first chapter though) Twilight…. Honestly I didn’t get into Twilight at all. The movies were fine I guess… Tales From The Crypt (LOVE LOVE LOVE) Anywho I began writing fanfiction on FanFiction.Net for the show La Femme Nikita and began participating in Nanowrimo events. Now I have aspirations of publishing and hope to one day be the inspiration Beverly Cleary first was for me the very time I opened and read the first lines to Ribsy….
