“The Provider” by Lee Hastings

Submitted to Contest #100

The Provider I wouldn’t claim that we are a perfect family, far from it. Like all families we have our faults and bicker from time to time and on occasions father is forced to intervene to establish a sense of order Apart from that I would not swap them for all of the gold in the ground. My parents both have daytime jobs, my mother works in the grocery store and my dad drives a forklift part-time for the local stock merchant, neither of them has ever taken a sick day. During the week my brother would walk me to and from school we generally d...

Tw: Suicide attempt, Self harm,Pills *Grandma Bel's Pov* Sitting on my wooden chair, eating the meals my granddaughter Ellie cooked for me, was the best way of waiting for the day. My sickness came two years ago since then I can see how she puts a fake smile. Every time I look in her eyes, a big wave of sadness fills the empty room. She tries hard to look happy, but I know she is not. Her parents left her to me ten year ago ,because they couldn't afford having a kid. ''Grandma, look what I prepared for you.

“In His Memory” by A A

Submitted to Contest #100

It has been years since he let but every part of the house still remembered him, reminisced in the memories of watching him transform from a boy to a man, the corridors haven’t forgotten the reverberations of his voice.

“The Dinner Date of November 11, 1987 ” by Niki Esmaili

Submitted to Contest #100

It was a chilly fall night on November 11, 1987. The sun had already set and nothing but the silhouettes of the leafless trees remained visible through the windows. Amelia Jones stood in her kitchen, looking around at the fridge, the cabinets, the oven, and the stove with one hand placed on the countertop and the other on her hip. A confused and nervous look shone bright on her face. Neil, a man whom Amelia had met in recent weeks, was coming over that evening for dinner and Amelia wanted everything, absolutely everything, to be perfect. She...

“Secret Sauce” by Michael Weber

Submitted to Contest #100

Since his shift at the diner had begun earlier this Friday afternoon, Peter could only go minutes at a time without glimpsing at the clock on the side wall of the kitchen. Stuck behind the grill for hours, he was growing fierce with impatience- not for the end of his soon-to-be long night of work, but for rush hour. He was waiting for a very important customer to arrive for dinner. Tonight would be Peter’s best, and perhaps only, opportunity to carry out his scheme. There was no chance of requesting another delivery from Thomas; his pharma...

“Eggplant rolls” by Michelle Tailory

Submitted to Contest #100

I absolutely hate cutting garlic and onions, the smell clings to my hands for days after I've come in contact with it. No matter how much I scrub the scent lingers. It may just be in my head, or maybe not. I have tried the rubbing my hands on steel trick, scrubbing with salt and baking soda hack. I have even succumbed to the notion that peanut butter would do the trick. Nothing ever works, and now I'm out a spoonful of peanut butter. Yet, I cut them anyways, I do not really have much choice in the matter here. She asked for me to prepare a r...
