“Second Chances, Sponsored by Budweiser” by Sydney Bingham

⭐️ Shortlisted for Contest #54

“Annnnnnd,” Tr8z, the smooth-talking announcer with the high-shine platinum pompadour let the words linger until the electricity in the room grew thick enough to make our hair stand on end. “....It looks like Dy&n has struck out again! Unlucky in love and on Second Chances.” The camera panned over and zoomed in on Dy&n, whose wrinkled leather lips shook with heartbreak. “I need to try again. Please!” She gripped the announcer’s sleeve, and her body went rigid. Her eyes bulged and she sputtered like an h-craft engine before keeling o...

“do you believe in second chances?” by H. W. Autumn

Submitted to Contest #54

“Do you believe in second chances? Do you regret what’s happened in your life, and want to turn it around?” Second Chances. The TV show for dummies who messed up big time. Where they get to go on TV and get paid to fix their mistakes. Some get new houses, new jobs, others apologize in front of a crowd. One thing they all get is a new life. I don’t really understand how the show is so popular. The whole “everyone gets a second chance” idea is kinda dumb. Like, what happened to “you only live once”? People should be nice the first time, re...

“Onward, Captain Midnight! (A follow-up to The Sacrificed)” by S. Closson

Submitted to Contest #54

The nefarious Captain Midnight shifted uncomfortably in the powder blue swivel chair, the aged leather of the yellow holster containing his death ray squeaked loudly as it pressed into its metal frame. The set he was on was staged like one of those hokey game shows you’d expect to find in the 1970’s instead of one of Turner Galactic Network’s prime time slots, but here it was in all of its glory. How he was going to fair in this trial was beyond him, but he had little choice but to try, his freedom depended on it. There was a series ...

“Second Chances LIVE with Your Host: Jake Jacobs” by Lily Kingston

Submitted to Contest #54

Jake Jacobs smiled at the camera lens with those so-white-they-say-salt-is-spicy teeth of his. “Annnnnnddddd welcome back to Second Chances! The game show where we pick three lucky contestants to complete to win a chance to use our time machine…” He pointed over at a big, bulky, glowing-green pod in the corner, “to give them a second chance at one of their life’s tragic events. I’m your host: Jake Jacobs! Now let’s meet our contestants!” Strolling over to a young, plump lady with a face full of freckles, Jake Jacobs said, “And what’s your n...

“Staying put or leaving? Episode one and two of Second Chances!” by N C

Submitted to Contest #54

“Will you give him a second chance to become a loving father?” “No I will not.” ……………… “Welcome to tonight’s show of Second Chances. Please take your seat, and the show will begin!” I sat down with dry cereal in my lap, ready for the first episode of “Second Chances”. Social Media has been advertising it for a few months now, making everyone hyped for the show. It was supposed to be a show where people talk about their problems, try to solve them, and hug it out. I think it’s going to be good, the ads have given us little clips, and from my...

“Rhode Island Revenge ” by Akhlys Ivy

Submitted to Contest #54

When there is nothing left to do in the world, when you have not a single care left, your level of stupidity starts to rise. I’d only just realized this when I clicked the advertisement. The one that would change my life forever.A couple months before, I had made a mistake. One that could absolutely not be amended. I had fallen in love, for once in my life. His name was Parker. We were the perfect pair. We spent countless nights together, watching television, dancing, and cooking. Parker was so funny and smart. He loved me unconditionally.Or...

“Hey, you! Yes, you,” A man in a suit and displaying a huge smile, enthusiastically shouts to the viewer from a YouTube commercial. “Do you ever look back on your life and say ‘if I could do it again, I would do ‘x’ or ‘y’…?” Alan rolled his eyes, thinking just another gimmick, and got ready to click the ‘Skip ad’ notification, but the ‘if I could do it again’ line intrigued him. “Well, this is your chance.

“Second Chance” by Sanjay Manchanda

Submitted to Contest #54

I had lost her. And all due to my eccentricity. Never take anyone for granted, has been a golden rule of life. But when in love, one tends to forget and overlook details of relationship. And it happened with me.Back in 2017, basking in glory of success and being appointed as the youngest CEO of a pharmaceutical Company, I had no time to fall in love but my destiny had something else stored for me. My work subjected me to long working hours and I enjoyed such schedule to every last second before hitting the bed. Life shuttled between New Jers...

“Creature Of Habit” by Bruce Charles

Submitted to Contest #54

Ted walked into the office while Donald was on the phone. When Donald saw him, he nodded and gestured for him to sit down. As he waited, Ted gazed at the posters of the shows Donald had worked on in the past, and out the window that had a view of the city. Donald finished his call and greeted him. “Hey, Ted, nice to see you again.”“Yeah,” Ted replied. He couldn’t remember who Donald was (he only knew his name from the nameplate on his door), but he had a feeling that he was someone important on the reality TV show he was starring on. Nervous...

“A second to live again” by Tejas Chandna

Submitted to Contest #54

It's been twenty years since I founded 'Second Chances'. She was there with me when I started it. We were inquisitive to find where it goes. The journey today is coming to a beautiful end. Nostalgia giggles my nose when those memories of an eighteen-year-old nothing finds a second chance to bring a show called 'a second chance'. She told me that it will go well and it did. God bless the TC Productions that it had the courage to take this unpredictable show. It started when we met the first ghost. His name was Anthony. He died in a car a...
