“Mom, are you seeing this?” by Coco De Rose

Submitted to Contest #54

I prop myself with one elbow. My mother fancied binge-watching live television shows—especially the ones featuring Michael Landon from the all-time cowboy series, Bonanza. Though, it was mostly rewatching the same episode of Joe kicking things around, or laughing cordially for a joke that he said himself, Mrs. Summers, my mother, enjoyed every nuke of it.Me, I never did. But today was different.I twist and turn the Tamagotchi chain I was gifted with, on my twelfth birthday. A mini version—to be precise, it is roughly half the size of th...

"And see, just like that another couple finds themselves back in each other's arms. You too can have a second chance at love. For a chance to participate on the next episode of Love's Second Chance, call 1-800-Second. I'm your host, Don Novel, signing off. Until next time, and remember, when love comes knocking, all you have to do is answer." Mira turned the tv off and closed the bag of chips that now only contained crumbs. Another happy couple, just like always. It was probab...

“Hello Brian and Emily. Welcome to the show-Second Chances. Has everyone been kind to you in the green room?”Brian and Emily nodded in unison.“That’s great.

“Second Chances ” by Kristopher Kozak

Submitted to Contest #54

I After the coronavirus pandemic and the fucking murder hornets, the police protests in the name of equality, the natural disasters, and the world wide blackouts, everyone knew that the end was no longer near, it was here. As expected, people all over the world had began to panic. They rioted and looted. No longer had toilet paper and hand sanitizer been a priority. Clean hands and asses didn’t matter as much when people needed energy and food. The scramble for sustained shelf life sustenance, solar panels and gasoli...

“Second Chances - Dreams Do Come True” by Cheryl H

Submitted to Contest #54

My palms are sweaty as if wearing a pair of gloves on a hot summer day. My heart is thumping, and it feels like it’s about to jump out of my chest and run away on its own.I need to do the breathing exercise that my speech pathologist taught me. “Breathe in for 4 seconds. Breathe out for 4. Breathe in for 4 more. Breathe out for 4.” Hmmm, well, that didn’t work. My nerves are still running all over the place.I’m super nervous today, because TODAY is the taping of the 1st episode of the new upcoming TV show “Second Chances”. This is going to b...

“Hosted by Kendra Derkins” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #54

"Olyvia, I swear--" Sally Derkins said through clenched teeth. Olyvia gave her a sheepish smile."Sorry, miss, it happened again, I know, but I can fix it, just hold still-"Olyvia's thick Welsh accent rang through Sally's ears like a train whistle- high and annoying. Although, Sally only found her voice annoying when she was annoyed with her."This company's a real jerk, I need to bring this to the attention of the studio-""You know what, that will be fine, thank you," Sally said, irritated, standing up and ripping her apron off. She peered in...

“Second Chances..... really?” by Sambulo Kunene

Submitted to Contest #54

I was at my peak when I decided to try my luck at a Dating show because I had become lonely and lazy to want a man I dressed in my best outfit for the shooting of the show. When I arrived at the studio, everyone was looking forward to hearing how my date went. That is how I met Hope, my current husband who is boisterous and patient. It was sheer luck that he picked me. I was his second try because his original did not take. Anyway, it worked out fine because we are currently married and very much happy in our marriage.He asked me the other d...

“Let's Get Twisted” by Cal Carson

Submitted to Contest #54

The night was dark and starless. The wind screamed and pounded against the doors of the pub. Great grey clouds filled the sky and snow whirled about in thick sheets. Yet the Golden Goose was crowded and raucous laughter echoed across the walls. Despite the storm tearing apart the front of the shop, the chattering din never ceased. It was February the sixteenth, a time of year where people were just getting over Valentine’s Day craze and falling back into the grasp of banality. But nothing about the s...

“Gin and tonic” by Ankita Chaurasia

Submitted to Contest #54

She re-read the letter in front of her, not that she didn't already know its contents by heart by now. It wasn't after all everyday that you received a proposal for a rebirth. Well, of sorts, anyway. She fixed herself a drink--More gin, less tonic--and read it out aloud, to her cat this time... Hello Andrea, We won't ask you how you are doing because we know the answer. We have been monitoring your life since the past few years and know that you would rather be dead than live a life of fading popularity. So, we are offering to ki...

“Staaaay TRASHY!!!” by Adhd Weirdo

Submitted to Contest #54

The screen, once black, was lighting up with the press of a button. First blue, then quickly changing to an ad you’ve seen for the millionth time, something about the new presidential vote you were dreading. When finally, you begin to hear the familiar intro, like an old friend, to your favorite show, Second Chances. As a memory of doing this when you were a young child, waiting for your favorite cartoon to finally start flashes through your thoughts, while the ad that was talking about why US citizens need guns, all reasons being stupid and...

“Picture of Regrets” by Kaylynn Lee

Submitted to Contest #54

The question that had just been asked to me was expected. I had prepared for this and knew exactly what I wanted to say. Even so, that didn’t stop the quickening beating of my heart, or the sweat from starting to trickle down the back of my neck. Monotonous faces of a monotonous audience glared at me under the pretense of promising not to judge, but stared longingly at me with judging eyes anyway. The spotlights of the stage felt like a microscope that enlarged my flaws, and I couldn’t sit far enough back in my seat to avoid them. Suddenly...

“Second Chances - The Incident” by Grace Namkung

Submitted to Contest #54

Marco and I go to the arcade to play a few games. We play air hockey, pool, Pac-man, Crossy Road, MarioKart, and DDR. After our arcade gift card is out of money, he walks me home. Yet my boyfriend, Noah, comes outside and shoots me a glare. "So... Marco, right?" Noah asks. He looks as if he's ready to fight, but manages to keep a smile on his face. "Polo," Marco says. They shake hands as I look down at the ground. They share a laugh as I wait for what's gonna happen next. "Yeah, what are your intentions with my girlfriend?" Noah's voice...

“Second Chances (TM)” by Alex Pilgrim

Submitted to Contest #54

“Our next contender is Darby Miles! Darby comes from Clearwater, Florida, and he tragically lost the love of his life in a horrible accident five years ago.”The audience collectively gasps. The presenter’s teeth gleam under stroboscopic lights, and Darby is almost positive he can see his own reflection on the enamel. His sweaty, disheveled reflection. He knows he looks like a madman, and he doesn’t care. That’s why he finally got the call from the TV station after dozens of failed audition clips he sent over the years: he was positively mad,...

“Second Chances” by Bruna Lima

Submitted to Contest #54

After a long day of work I finally arrived home. I put down my purse, changed into my pajamas and heated up some leftovers from Friday. I had plans for tonight but I canceled. Since James and I broke up I haven’t gotten out of the house that much except for work. As a marketing consultant, it’s hard to balance a work-life schedule and still have alone time. I sat down in my living room floor and turned the TV on. After zapping for a while, I came across a show called “Second Chances” that looked interesting. The concept is based on the idea ...

“Second Chance for Love” by Aha Blume

Submitted to Contest #54

When I first heard about the new reality show, I thought it was ridiculous. Why would I want to go on a show to find love? Everyone knows those shows are not “reality.” Also, most of the couples break up after a short time. Only a really desperate person would go on this show. Right? So I ignored the call for contestants. So imagine my surprise when I got a call from a producer, telling me they loved my entry. I was going to be on the show “Second Chances.” “But I didn’t apply!” I said. “Your friends sen...
