Submitted to Contest #25

“New Year’s resolutions are stupid,” Noemi said indignantly. “Oh come on,” Lidia laughed. “It’s a way to improve yourself. New year, new you?” “I like myself just fine. I don’t need to change. I’m happy.” “Okay. That’s… that’s good, Noe.” Lidia placed a hand on Noemi’s shoulder. “I know you’ve had a rough time the past several months. With Cierra… You deserve happiness too.” “I’ve got to get back to work.” Noemi looked down at her watch. “Lunch is over.” “Okay. Remember,...

“Not a single booking today.” Ernest climbed into bed. “We have a few guests.” Renee, his wife, said.

It was going to be one of those nights. Lorelei knew it. She sighed and turned on the TV. She read articles saying if one were looking to fall asleep, it’s best NOT to watch TV.

“The Dinner Guest” by Whitney Trang

Submitted to Contest #17

“Giana! Your mother needs her assistant chef!” Zeke knocked on his teenage daughter’s door. It opened, revealing a girl with brown eyes, a dark shade of chestnut brown hair, and a sprinkling of cute freckles around her nose. Her nose was just like her Aunt Illeana’s. “Give me five minutes.” Giana told her father. “I’m on the phone with Yori.” “Fine.
