“The Still Beauty of the Night” by Sarah McBroom

   Susan was having trouble sleeping that night. She lay in her bed tossing and turning. She had just found out that her boyfriend wanted to break up with her. He found someone he liked better;  a newer model some might say. This was frustrating to her because she had given him two years of her life and she had thought they were going to get married. He informed her that day that the relationship was over. There was nothing wrong with Susan except that she had aged some in the last few years and h...

Submitted to Contest #94

George and his best friend Ethan were playing in the creek on a warm, summer afternoon. Ethan was talking like he always did about Jesus and how George could get to heaven. He quoted the verse John 3:16; “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life”.  These young men were 17 years old and they were like any teenage boys, they liked to dare each other to do things and they like to take those dares.  As Ethan swung out over the water in an old...
