“It's work. It always has been.” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #109

I read the email once. Or… maybe twice? Or maybe I am just staring at the words for a while. I close the tab and take a deep breath, reaching for my coffee.It’s cold, I think. Nelly must have picked it earlier today.My gaze falls on the papers stacked carefully on the right side of my office; the cases for today. Five folders. One is bigger than the others. That’s because I’ve been working longer with this client. He is scheduled for 9:00 am, I remember scheduling the appointment with ...

“The Night Owl” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #104

Clothes everywhere, make up brushes and eye shadows spread on the bathroom sink and loud punk music blasting through the speakers. That’s it. That’s the dream. Although, Avery needed one more hour to get ready for the dream to be perfect, but she’d had to work with what she had. Nothing could ruin tonight for her, and if someone tried, they’d have to do it over her dead body. It was a tough month for Avery; college exams...

“What used to be” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #96

I remember, when I was like twelve years-old and I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring. To walk with you through the hallways to the school yard and have a five-minute talk about your volley practice. To talk about the boy you liked, using code names like “brick” or “lamp”. I can still feel the hurt from the laughter you caused me every time we said something stupid and we would end up breathless on the floor, wheezing. All the times we cheated in tests, either passing on little papers with whole paragraphs on them either mouthing silently...

“Well. It could be worse.” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #93

Tom and I sat by the pool; our legs dipped in the water. My, previously straight, hair now messed up and making small waves down to my shoulder. His pants rolled up; well, at least one of the sides. The other had been burned. My emerald dress was covered in a deep blue paint. Heh, I matched the pool. Tom sifted his gaze to me and placed his hands on his thighs, letting out a heavy sigh. “Well.”, he breathed. “It...

“It's Not About Me” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #87

It was this day again. The alarm clock rang, two hours before his shift started. To put it mildly, it was early. Myles got up and got ready for the big day he had ahead. After a quick breakfast – if you can call two cookies and a few sips of coffee breakfast – he tossed his bag to his car and instead of hop into it himself, he went across the street to Mrs. Lang’s house. Because, again, it was this day again...

“Flat 1, right?” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #85

Katherine stood there, all sweaty and covered with mud, proud of herself. The garden looked better than ever and you couldn’t even know that once the ground was covered by weeds. She sighed happily as she stepped inside to take of her dirty clothes. “Hey, honey! Sorry, I didn’t hear you coming in, I was hanging the clothes”. Stella greeted her boyfriend with a sweet kiss on the lips. ...

“The Aftermath” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #84

The alarm went off and wake her. “Is it already 07:00?”, she thought as her eyes opened up unwillingly. Not that she had slept much. The nights seemed so shorter, now that she had to wake up early again. She made her way to the bathroom to wash up. While she was brushing her teeth, she noticed a couple more pimples creeping under the surface of her skin near her chin. Her acne had shown up a few weeks earlier, but it w...
