“Just Give Him a Second Chance” by ᗩᗴᖇiᑎ ᖇᗴᗷᗴᑕᑕᗩ ✨🌈

“Just give him a second chance!” Paxton pleads.“Never!” I cry. “Mark will die in those chains tomorrow!”I dramatically point to the left floor, where Levi sits, hunched over his bound limbs. Paxton approaches me. “But why?!”“You know why! He killed my sister, my beloved Isa. Now he will pay the price!”“It was an accident!” Paxton exclaims. “If you give him a second chance, Mark’ll fix this, I swear!”I snarl. “You can't...

“Give Yourself a Second Chance” by Amany Sayed

“Hello, folks! Merv here. Welcome back to another day on 'Second Chances'. Today, our guest on the show is a tried and true New Yorker, teaching students by day and making art by night, Folks give it up for…..Cora Flores!” the large room filled with thunderous applause as Cora made her way onstage. Her long dirty blonde hair flowed freely down her shoulders and her dark brown eyes were shining with hope. She smiled and waved shyly to the crowd as she sat in the chair meant for her. “Hi, Merv!”“Hello, Cora! How are you d...

“Second Chances” by Raquel Rodriguez

A tall woman with a small head pokes her ugly blond wig into the room. “Are you ready?” She asks, her eyes pointed at the ground so that our eyes don't meet. “I'm never going to be ready to see my ex again,” - I seethe, inwardly laughing at her stupid wig - "but you don't really care, so go ahead." The woman nods, whispering into her headset. She motions for me to come towards her. The woman nods again, and opens the door of my room, glaring at me as I pass. “You bett...

“Second Chance” by Vicky S

Bright lights filled the studio. Willow blinked but could still see nothing except for a blur as the game show host leapt in front of the cameras. “And action!” a man holding a clapper board yelled. She couldn’t see him or the audience but she knew they were there as they started cheering and clapping. “Welcome, welcome everyone!’ the host was yelling over the noise until it slowly died down,’...

“The Secondary Likelihood.” by Lexi Robinson

It's another boring day working at the supermarket. Ever since this pandemic, it's either an empty dull place or a place so packed with people that you can't even imagine. We have been low on staff since we cannot keep a lot of employees on grounds. Unlucky for me one of my co-worker caught the virus and is in the hospital, so I've gotta work for all 6 days instead of working for alternate days. "Thank th...

“Yukgaejang” by Aidrielle R.

The regular patrons were present: mostly old Cheongsando locals, their skin darkened by hard labor under the heat of the sun. Hyerin recognized almost all of them as she sang in the makeshift stage at Mama Choonhee’s restaurant. Soft music piped in from the old speakers, so different from the upbeat tunes Hyerin was forced to sing when she was younger. Her mother had always said that her voice was much more suited to ballads.The patrons were swaying and clapping along while having their lunch--most...

“A Place for Everything” by Deborah Mercer

You know the old (and not very complimentary joke) about someone having a “good face for radio”. Well, I’ve been told I have a good voice for television, and I’m not sure that’s much more of a compliment either. Oh, not that I’m against voice-overs, and when it comes to trying to earn some money instead of what I’ve rarely heard anyone actually call resting, it beats pot washing or flogging time shares. ...

“On Second Chances” by A.G. Scott

On Second ChancesFrom Second Chance 2: Reloaded: A Memoir, by Sir Balthazar Merriwether, p. 12. I felt that my journey to the afterlife was unnecessarily drawn-out.It turns out that souls are real, meaning they are governed by the same physics as everything else. I could travel no faster than the light which dragged me along, and the afterlife, which happens to be a location and not just an idea, was not close. Years away, in fact,...

“Twofer” by Kathleen March

I heard there was a TV show called "Second Chances.” It sounded like fun and I was thrilled to be invited to participate. It was pretty easy to play the game. Five contestants, ten numbers, each with a hidden category. The participants simply have to select a number, and then the category is revealed. No number can be repeated. I won’t go into the details about how numbers are chosen, other than to say each player can ch...

“The Story of My Cancellation” by Joshua Scott Hotchkin

I knew it was a bad idea the moment I said it. It was my first day on the job, and the network writers room was full of all kinds of absurd spit-balling, so I thought it would be safe to just toss a stinker right out there as sort of an introductory volley. The idea was that they wanted to create yet another musical contest show which had some intellectual credibility by featuring a respected literary figure as host. I have no idea why that combination was chosen, but that is what we were told we needed to build the show around. Undoubted...

“A Repentant Heart” by Catherine Stevens

The screen lights up on his 65” plasma TV as he hops on his old ratty couch. Everything around him is falling apart and rotting with age, except the new TV. Huberus refuses to look at his dismal surroundings and focuses on the screen; a new series is starting today. A drop of dirty sludge lands on his cheek from the hole in the ceiling.“Ugh!” he snarls and drags the couch out from under the hole.Satisfied that he’ll now be dry, He crawls up unto the couch ...

“Justice” by Kira Krieger

Twelve-year-old Steven Ross cuddled up with a pillow on the couch in his brother’s house. His sky blue pajamas conflicted with the black leather fabric as well as the darkened sky. Wiping his eyes, he yawned as he waited for his older brother to rejoin him for their movie night. Rylee was in the kitchen, heating up water for coffee and hot chocolate. A figure appeared behind him. As a shadow, they didn’t...
