Meeting At Starbucks

Submitted to Contest #290

At Starbucks, once they prepared your order, they’d call you up by your first name. I must’ve been so lost in thought, I didn’t notice when the barista was calling my name… Until an extremely cute guy with perfectly coiffed light brown hair and magnetic blue eyes came up to me at the table and said, “Uh, excuse me, Miss… I think your order is ready.” And damn, that smile… Those teeth! “Thank you.” I said to him with a small smile as I went up to get my large iced caramel apple cream latte. As I returned to my seat, I almost bumped into this...

Uncertain Fate

Submitted to Contest #289

Christina Macallen is up in her room, talking to her husband Clarence’s closest friend, Dennis Nuzzi, on the phone so that she can get some legal advice about her son Lance’s situation. She is curious to know about Florida’s state laws regarding accessory to a serious crime. It’s been a while since Christina has contacted Dennis since moving to Lake Haven following the murder of her husband, so hearing Dennis’ voice is a breath of fresh air for her, after all this time. He is still based in Lodi, New Jersey with his family, continuing to tak...

Summer in Lake Haven

Submitted to Contest #288

Lance Macallen goes up to the ice cream stand and places his order after Jessa gets hers. The ice cream is all free. She does a double take when she sees him, believing him to be Seth. “Oh, it’s you again,” she says with a smile. “And you managed to change your trunks so fast.” Lance is wearing red swimming trunks, while Seth’s are blue. That’s the only major difference between the Macallen twins. “I’m sorry,” Lance chuckles as he and Jessa sit under the umbrella. “I guess I should’ve told you, I have a twin brother who you were just talki...

Cup of Tea

Detective Gordon Marshall’s shift wrapped up at 5:00, and the rest of the Ryder PD staff took on various tasks for the Eric Walker investigation.

Sabrina was expecting his company, so she was making both of them...

Fourth of July

When Kaitlynn Westergart steps outside, she takes out her cell phone and calls Vincent Rousseau to let him know that she’s out of the house.

He starts the car and begins heading off to the road to wherever he has his birthday surprise for Kai...

Words of Comfort

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who was very beautiful. She was such a ravishing beauty, with her long, curly black hair, skin as white as snow, and eyes as green as emeralds. Everything about her was just remarkable and flawless. She was a good girl with a heart of pure gold and the brightest smile that lit up the whole world. Everyone loved her, and she loved everybody. Despite her ravishing beauty, pure heart, and high intelligence level, she had only one flaw: her 12 fingers and 12 toes. Four years ago, this young girl was bo...

You Never Know a Good Thing Until it's Gone

Submitted to Contest #286

I thought I’d feel a little relieved that Kari-Ann was finally gone, but for some reason, it didn’t make me feel any better. My mind was filled with these thoughts that maybe I was a little hard on her, and I did an extreme thing by firing her and kicking her out. I wanted to shrug off these thoughts because I knew I did the right thing. She had been lying to me for the longest time, and it wasn’t just me… It was the kids, too. That wasn’t fair to Johnny and Brenna because they really looked up to her as a mother figure, and she just took ad...

I Should've Known Better!

Submitted to Contest #284

Well, I really messed up this time. Dominic found out the truth, and he was angry to the point of kicking me out, which I totally deserved. All my worst nightmares had finally come true. I should have known better, realizing this was all going to end in disaster. I’d been such an idiot from the beginning… Giving him a fake name, “Kara Muller”, and leading him on in this never-ending game of lies. This was exactly what Melinda had warned me about all along. I hated to think that she was right and she’d rub it in my face in an “I-told-you-so” ...

A Day to Remember

Submitted to Contest #283

Francina Tuttiliogi sat up in bed, holding onto dear life the photo of the man who melted her heart: Troy Edwards. It was the night before the big day, the biggest day in her life, where she was going to walk down that aisle and say, “I do”, officially becoming Mrs. Troy Edwards. It was the moment her family had been awaiting, including all her cousins–distant and close–from all over the town. As she glanced at the photo of the striking young man–his golden hair that was slicked back, and ocean blue eyes that possessed serenity in them–with...

Be Careful What You Wish For

Submitted to Contest #281

The next day was a clear, blue Wednesday morning, and when I woke up, I still felt the same as I did yesterday morning… Only this time, I realized I had magical superpowers; yesterday, I had no idea. Assuming that my powers were gone after I flushed that piece of paper down the toilet, my life was going to return to normal after all this. This was just a temporary thing, even if I’d already written in the diary with a pen. No more wishes for the time being. For now, whatever I wished for, I’d type it onto my Google Docs. So far, nothing unu...

One Crazy, Wicked, Violent Night

Submitted to Contest #277

Maegann wanted nothing more than to curl up on the couch, watch some Netflix while snacking on popcorn, and let loose for the evening after a long day. She was a paralegal, but sometimes law work could be a little exhausting, studying one case after another. But for her, it was worth it; she had a lifelong passion for law and order. Law and Order… That sounded like a good show to watch. Except Netflix didn’t have it available, though it had similar shows, such as Suits for one. Why not? Nothing could beat Suits after all. She was practicall...

Dark Impulses

He was a modern-day Ted Bundy, but he couldn’t help it. It’s just who he was. He was obsessed with sex, and there’s nothing more that he liked than objectifying every single woman or young girl he saw. A young girl could innocently walk past him on the street, and in an instant, he’d visualize himself in an erotic position with her, hoping she didn’t resist him. And once that was done… He’d kill her. Because that’s just who he was. He was waiting outside in a room to be called for an interview at the office. The office had an opening for the...
