“The Fortune Teller” by Whitney Trang

“That’s it?” She looked at me with confusion. “Yep, that’s it.” I sit back in my chair. “But can’t you be a little more specific?” She looked down at the colorful cards then back at me. “I’m sorry, but I can only tell you what the cards tell me.” “And they can’t be more detailed?” “I’m sorry.” I tap my fingers against the dark blue velvet tablecloth. “But all you’ve told m...

“The Resolution” by Whitney Trang

"Happy new year.” He looked up at me with a quizzical look.     “Happy new year,” he responded. Then after eying me up and down for a moment, he added, “Do you know me?”      “Uh, kind of?” I said. “I see you… I mean, you come into the diner every new year’s eve.” “Huh, I guess I do.” He cocked his head, replaying all the times he stepped foot into the 24-hour diner where I work as a waitress for th...

“The Greatest Christmas Gift” by Whitney Trang

“Good morning.” Abrielle’s boyfriend’s face was inches away from hers. “Morning,” Abrielle yawned. “You’re too close, Niall.” “Oops. Sorry.” Niall backed away as Abrielle sat up. “I was just too excited.” “Oh, right. It’s Christmas Eve.” Abrielle loved this time of year, mainly because Niall loved this time of year.  “I got this for you.” He handed her a small silver box tied with a wide ...

“A Happy Memory” by Whitney Trang

A young man entered her room. He had such pretty eyes and a bright white smile. He must have been a new nurse at the nursing home or one of those volunteers who came in every once in a while to talk to the residents. Either way, she didn’t mind having him in her room. “Good afternoon,” Leda said to him sweetly. She hadn’t had that many visitors lately. It was nice to see a friendly face. “Hello. How are ...

“Apologies for a Job Poorly Done” by Whitney Trang

“Gwynnie, is that you?” Gwyneth hated when she called her Gwynnie. No matter how many times Gwyneth had asked Cambree to NOT call her that, she still insisted on using that childish nickname. But Gwyneth bit her tongue. After today, she would never have to hear Cambree call her Gwynnie again.     “It is me.” Gwyneth took off her dark oversized glasses and smiled at Cambree.      “I barely recognized you! Yo...

“Cup of Love” by Whitney Trang

I hate winter. But she loved it, so I tolerated it for her. She was my fire in such a cold environment. She made everything warm and sparkly. I would do anything for her, even brave snowy bitter weather, because she was worth it. I watched her as she exited the bathroom, her hair still damp from her hot shower.     “Looks like you really enjoyed the slopes today,” I said to her.     “I did!” She beamed. “Ev...

“Mother's Legacy” by Whitney Trang

“It’s time!” Isla handed Lesa a white envelope.    “It’s from Alpha Theta Omega Pi?” Lesa asked a bit sheepishly.     “Duh. Who else would it be from?” Isla plopped down on the bed beside Lesa. “Why aren’t you more excited?”    “I… I just didn’t think this day would come.” Lesa twisted the ornate gold ring on her right middle finger. Her mother had left it for her when she passed. Lesa’s mother said ...

“The Woman Who Knew My Name” by Whitney Trang

“Mom!” Arella cried out. Arella’s mother opened the door to her room.    “Everything okay?” Arella’s mother sat on her bed.    “It’s the nightmare.” Arella reached out to her mother who scooted closer to her.     “That same nasty one?” Her mother wrapped her arms around Arella’s tiny frame.    “Yes.” Arella buried her face in her mother’s chest. “But this time, you were the monster. Another lady saved me and she called me a weird nam...

“Hello, Darling” by Whitney Trang

She stared at the man with tears in his eyes. He approached her slowly. “Genna?” He asked in a whisper. She nodded. He took her hands. “Do you know who I am?”     She looked into the man’s familiar face. Of course, she knew who he was. They had spent over two decades together. He was Neil, the love of Genna's life.     “Hello, darling.”~ ~ ~    “Aren’t you going to wear...

“Reunion of Truth” by Whitney Trang

“Charisse! Is that you?” Pilar approached the tall, curvy blonde woman. “Pilar Gutierrez?” Charisse studied Pilar’s face.  “It is!” Pilar and Charisse hugged. “You haven’t changed at all have you?” “You were always the sweet one,” Charisse laughed. “Too sweet.” “No, no. I mean it,” Pilar insisted. “Even ten years later I recognize you, the Prom Queen.” “I’m afraid the only kingdom I rule over is my one bedroom apartment,” Charisse said. “I hear you’re doing well in the real estate industry?”...

“Found” by Whitney Trang

For those lucky enough to meet me, I always ask them the same question: will it be worth it?   They usually answer yes, thoughts of their wildest dreams being fulfilled blind their rational mind. But since they gave me their consent, I grant them. It’s what I was made to do. Sometimes it turns out good, other times… not so good. I don’t stick around any more to see which outcome ...
