“Sandy Claus” by Nicole N

Submitted to Contest #277

Year after year, Mrs. Claus, would organize the helpers, plot Mr. Claus’s course for the year, create toy plans, test Christmas recipes, feed, train and groom the reindeer and wrap presents. Millions of presents (and the number only grows year after year). All the while, “Santa” gets the credit, the cookies and milk, cards, praise, pictures, parades, and nobody thinks of “Mrs. Claus”. Even the reindeer get treats, songs, and gifts. Year after year, Sandy Claus kept to herself, stayed in “her lane” and accepted her role and the duties that ca...

“Pick of Destiny” by Nicole N

Submitted to Contest #271

Pick of DestinyBy Nicole Ney **Warning: this story contains harsh language and subject matter that may not be suitable for everybody. Please read at your own risk**Those curves. That neck.That mahogany body. I caressed her maple neck as I gently eased her up. Corvette red. My heart raced, it was all so real. This was it. This was the moment. Active pick up, I thought to myself. I caressed her four strings and a little sound came out (of both of us I’m sure). It felt like destiny, like it was meant to be. I pulled her into the light, as ...

“Traversing New Horizons” by Nicole N

Submitted to Contest #265

It was 6 am, but still pitch dark out, and chilly. I was alone, by myself, straddling my enormous duffel bag. I looked up at the security camera, hoping it worked. I took a selfie, in case I disappeared. I could see and hear a few people here and there in the shadows, mostly blue collar workers with their lunch bags scurrying to work. I wondered if I was being watched, head on a swivel, while trying to look calm, cool and collected. Am I crazy? Who gets on a random bus, by themselves and heads to a big city they had never been in? It was onl...

“Pay Day” by Nicole N

Submitted to Contest #260

I had spent the last 6 months working at the local hospital as an aide. I could've worked kitchen or maintenance duty, but not only did I need access to most of the hospital, I needed to see how it ran, the ins and outs and response time. I learned the various ways entrances and exits, which ones needed badge access, which ones didn't. I learned where the cameras were inside and out. I would walk the neighborhood on my lunch to learn local routes and security cameras. On rainy days, I would spend my lunch in different areas of the hospital, ...

“Sirena the Hybrid Mermaid” by Nicole N

Submitted to Contest #255

Along the local island shores lived Sirena, a beautiful, adventurous, free-spirited girl. She was always on the go, exploring everything she could. She loved the ocean the most. Every time she visited, she couldn't help but admire its infinite existence. Getting Sirena to leave was almost impossible. She’d always sigh and say “I wish I could just live here” as she mosied home. Sirena loved exploring the shorelines for treasures that washed up. She’d make up stories about how that item got there. And she had a collection for everything, shell...
