“Not Again...” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #190

“I’ve had it. It’s time someone did something about this. And it looks like it’s up to me.” I had seen it happen once too often. There had to be a line drawn. “Yeah, so what are you going to do? Come on; you keep saying you’ll do something about it and never do. You just let it go every time.” My disheveled husband of forty-three years doesn’t even look at me as he says it. I roll my eyes, but not where he...

“Speak Truth!” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #190

“Speak now.” I heard the voice: I could hear it quite clearly. But what to say? I was blindfolded, hands tied behind me, and feet tied to the legs of a chair. “I don’t know what to say,” I began. “Speak only truth,” the voice said. Male voice, I was pretty certain.

“Google Doogle” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #189

I have a story to tell, though no one will believe me. When I lie in my bed at night, I barely believe it myself.

“I'll Take Door Number Two, Please” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #188

The car used to be the envy of her friends; those with kids who couldn’t imagine having to place them in the backseat and those that couldn’t see their way to spending the extra money for something they called too extravagant for their pocketbooks. Of course, they loved riding in it, top-down, and their hair tied up. But where were they now? Not anywhere close to here, she was sure of that. The Mustang was a fun ...

“CatWalk” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #187

“I will never understand why I must go on walks with you. It is quite unseemly.” “Don’t be silly. You know they only want us to be one big happy family. We must do things together and be close to one another. You are much too self-centered, you know. And we both could use the exercise, if you don’t mind me mentioning it.” “Me?! Ridiculous. I am a large cat; I’m not supposed to be skin and bones! I simply kn...

“Suki” by Tricia Cundiff

Submitted to Contest #187

The knock at the door woke him. Grumbling under his breath, he rose from the couch and lumbered to the door. Peeping thru the side window's mini-blinds, he recognized the old biddy from across the street. The only one in the neighborhood that hadn't been here yet, he thought to himself. God, let this be the last, he said under his breath as he opened the door. "Marvin! Oh, I'm so, so sorry I haven't been here earl...
