A Grim Future

The Last Unicorn

Submitted to Contest #57

“Do you want to be like your Nana Pachita? Ha?” “She fell in love with some farmer boy and ran off with him when she was just sixteen” “Do you want to be like her, ha? If so, then get out of this house immediately. Get out!” I was fuming mad when I caught my daughter texting some unknown number. Again. She’s had countless text mates. I tried my best to discourage her from talking to unknown men, yet she won’t listen to me. I just don’t want my daughter to end up like my mother. By the time that I was six, my father left us for some other wo...

“Oh come on Darcy! Please no blind dates…” “What?! You did what?!” “Un-believable. You know that I don’t do blind dates. Let alone dates. I’m just not the girl for that.” “What do you mean I don’t get out much? Ugh, hello. I have friends. I have you!” “Prude? Who you calling prude? Excuse moi. I am no prude.” “Just….what? Darcy! I ain’t got the time!” “Wait. Hello? Hello? Hello?! She hung up. Great. Just great.” I slumped on the couch as my cat, Poseidon, sat on my lap and then stared at me. “What are you looking at?” I hissed. Poseid...

Looking past the veranda, I saw someone looking at me from afar. He was holding a garden hose in his right hand and was somehow waving at me with his left. He was smiling. A smile that showed his perfectly aligned set of teeth. A smile that was definitely his most admired asset. A smile that showed a kind feeling – somehow warm yet unnerving. Being the polite person that I am, I smiled back. Although unsure of what that smile might mean, my muscles somehow involuntarily moved and found its way into doing something rather automatic. It was j...

IF ONLY

The Last Unicorn

Submitted to Contest #54

I’ve met a guy once. His name was Ed. We met at a chatting site back in high school. We used to talk about almost everything. Though, we lack the basics. He and I had undeniable connection. I would fantasize about killing myself while he would daydream bout different extraordinary characters. Our duo was dynamic, that’s for sure. But that was before… This is the “now”. Many years passed. He and I have gone separate ways. He became a lawyer. Proud his family became. And I became a pastry chef at a small-time bake shop. I became a mother of t...

“How was your afternoon walk, Nana Louisa?” Nurse Abigail asked. “Swell. Swell. Have you received any calls from Eduardo? He promised that he would visit me this week.” Louisa told Nurse Abigail. “I’m afraid not Nana Louisa. Who is this Eduardo that you speak of by the way?” Nurse Abigail asked. Abigail was a new-comer at the Castanea Home for the Aged and Nana Louisa was her first ever p...

It was around late noon when Grandma Rosita has finally awakened from her long hours of sleep. She was looking for her medicines once again and went to bother the whole family just so they could find her missing pills. "Where are my medicines?" She asked Julia, her favorite grandchild. "Where are my pills for my eyes and bones? I need them." Grandma Rosita continued."I don't know where they are Grandma." Julia told Grandma Rosita. Julia was busy drawing for her upcoming zine event and so she didn't pay much attention to her Grandma."But...

Captured Memories

The Last Unicorn

Submitted to Contest #42

T’was all black and white. People were cheering here and there. People were smiling from ear to ear. It was a glorious day, so it seemed. Everybody was in their respective seats. The crowd roared in amusement as the runners began their leap. Runners were running against one another. They were running at maximum speed. “Look Mum! The one in the red is going to win!” exclaimed one little kid. He got off from his seat when ice cream dripped down from his chin. He made a mess – Oh yes, he did. But the main event was just about to begin. As Nata...
