“Lessons learned on an Elevator” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #58

I wouldn't normally be working on a Sunday afternoon, but that  Sunday wasn't a normal day.  It was the hottest day on record, with the temperature measuring over 105° at 6:00 a.m.  I am a writer for a popular magazine enterprise and meeting last minute deadlines were pretty common, so I was not surprised to receive an urgent call from my editor to meet him at our office on Broadway in Manhattan. ...

“Little secrets or little white lies” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #55

Shhhh… I have a secret to tell.  I admit it. I love to tell secrets. My mother used to tell me that my secrets are considered little white lies. So I swore to her that I would always tell her the truth. But life doesn’t always go the way we plan it and when I turned 19 (the age of you can’t tell me what to do antmore) my promise literally went out the window. It was a cold night in January when I met Rich...

“The Graduate” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #54

It was an exciting moment for me.  On a warm summer afreenoon in June, I sat in a chair surrounded by over a thousand other people.  We were all wearing burgundy silk robes and black caps with hanging tassels. Yes, it was graduation day at Franklin University. It was the proudest day of my life.  Now I would be able to share this day with my entire family. Oh, did I forget to mention that ...

“Love in the time of quarantine ” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #53

I was born in the summer. To be specific I was born on July 4th. It has often been said that people tend to favor seasons they enjoy with the month that they were born. That was definitely true for me.  My favorite sports were played in the summer, there was no school in the summer, and I met my true love in the summer. When I close my eyes, I remember that night so clearly.  I was spending the evening wi...

“The story of a baby and a blizzard” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #52

The weather man had predicted snow for the weekend. We were only supposed to get up to 3 inches, which I figured I could easily handle. To tell the truth, snow, no matter how little or how much actually came down, could send shivers down my spine. As I layed down in my bed that Friday night, I brushed off my fears and tried to convince myself that we probably not get anything at all.w The next morning I ...

“Footsteps in the Attic” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #51

I was glancing through our local newspaper on a beautiful spring morning when I saw a for sale ad of a Victorian syle home in Blueberry Hills, Illinois. The house had four bedrooms, two baths, a modern kitchen and a wall to wall library. There were other amenities that were inclluded in the advertisement, but they were not of real importance to me. I told my husband Jim about it when he came home from wo...

“Memories of a treehouse” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #50

I remember when I was just five waking up from a horrible nightmare. In my nightmare I found myself falling from a huge oak tree and breaking my leg in two places. So you need to understand why I tremble with fear when looking down from a tall building or an open window. Of course such fears were irrational since I lived with my parents on the fifteenth floor of an apartment house in Brooklyn. Like any o...

“The Audition” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #49

It was 6:00 when the alarm rang shrilly in my left ear. I groaned and looking groggily around the room. Then as I started to wake I suddenly remembered why I had set my alarm so early. I was about to audition for a part on Broadway. I had waited for this day since my first year of high school when it was evident that I had the potential to be a big star on broadway. I was given every part that I had auditioned fo...
