“The Last Episode of Second Chances ” by Noah B

Submitted to Contest #54

The Last Episode of Second Chances By: Noah Bhalloo I always dreamed of going on the show Second Chances. And I was sitting at the Christmas Tree while my family was going to surprise me. I opened a lot of presents and none of them seemed to be what I really wanted. Then, the last one was my jackpot. I opened it and it said, “Congratulations, James Garmand, You have won a ticket to Second Chances.” I screamed with joy and hugged everyone in the room. I was going to Seattle to be on the show Second Chances. The show was about a chance t...

“Pantofolaio” by Mayuri Kakeria

The wailing winds made the leaves outside tremble. There was a thud and he remembered how everyday he planned to fix the fence. He would do it tomorrow. The strew cigarettes like buried logs in snow on the dusty table in front of him ; he’d have to clean it too. He turned his head aside and found himself distorted in a black, glossy lens staring at him - wondering if that is what the eye of God looked like too. He stopped Pink Floyd before the chorus. He got up and went to bed, pretending to lay asleep, to give that miserable lens nothing mo...

“Diego Frontera” by Alex Arias

Submitted to Contest #54

Good evening to all the parents, half-asleep elderly, and introverted teens. Thanks for tuning into your favorite show, Second Chances! I’m your host Diego Frontera and boy do we have a good one up for you tonight. First up we have Miss Daisy Reginald, looking very spiffy in her retirement home-provided night gown, if I do say so myself. Let’s see the horrible, horrible occurrence that passed in aisle three of Shopmart last Wednesday. Three. Two. One. Action! There we see her, standing up- oh! That gave me a fright. You thought she was ...

“Even Powers Won't Help You Now” by Abby Shazivari

Submitted to Contest #54

Mina Montac has never known anything short of pleasure. She's got virtually anything a girl could want- caring and loving friends, an amazing family, and a boyfriend who's wrapped around her finger. She's obedient, sweet, even a bit of a teacher's pet. Some go far enough to say that she's perfect. A little self-obsessed, actually, but for the most part, perfect. And as a cherry on top, she has powers. No, I'm not kidding. She has genuine, time reversing powers. After falling off the monkey bars and breaking her arm at age 5, she discovered...

“The (Second) Chance of a Lifetime” by Nicole Cox

Submitted to Contest #54

It’s almost time. I can tell without even looking at the clock because Dad, settled in his recliner, for the first time since he sat down he reaches for the remote, flipping away from the ever-present old westerns that are on our television. But it’s to be expected, it’s Friday after all, and by the sound of it, it’s almost 9 o’clock. The summer breeze is ruffling the curtains, and with it I can hear the sound it carries. Our neighbors are also turning their TVs, the beginning music can be heard from every house down the street....

“Semi-Permanent” by Mackenzie Blackwood

Submitted to Contest #54

The lights were much hotter than Betty had expected. It seemed everyone but she knew exactly what to do. She stood in the middle of a fake living room. Slap a straw hat on her and she'd be an uncanny match for a scarecrow."Right, where's the new one?" A voice commanded everyone's attention. It belonged to a tall, broad woman in a leather coat.That must be the Director, Betty thought. That terrifying woman could only be a Director.Betty tried to make herself known but all that escaped from her mouth was a pathetic squeak. A man, a crew m...

“Cronus” by Evita Astraea

Submitted to Contest #54

“There was a time when all actions were final: people made decisions, faced consequences, and lived with regrets. Most people were unhappy due to the inexistence of second chances…” The handsome host on the screen continued speaking as Cronus watched from his couch with a bag of Salties in his hand. His room was in darkness and disarray, clothes and dishes scattered about only visible under spontaneous flashes of light from the television. Colors from the screen tinted the blue of his eyes, the brown of his hair, and gave life to the palene...

“A Chance for Acceptance” by Jules Highton

Submitted to Contest #54

The auditions are my first unexpected slit of hope, just like sunlight that sifts light into our day. Prisons weren’t an experience that were admired, although gawking and edging away (not so) discreetly are common reactions. I am looking for work, but twenty years in jail aren’t impressive on a CV, meaning I needed income, because currently funding my apartment is challenging. My parent didn’t associate with “threats to society”, so no assistance would be found through them. It’s stupid but my eyes well. I’m not sure what I’m auditioning fo...

The days are numbered. The world feels like it's always against you. This was what life was like for the young adult male, David Vaileton, who was stuck in a world where no matter how hard he tried, nothing ever seemed to go his way. It was like his family name was cursed. For the days to go by numerously and his luck just keeps him from getting on with life, he learns that not everything should be as it seems and decided to become dulled by the atrocious abuse and bullying he is put through. It only takes him a few weeks to start slowl...

“For Men Like You” by OB Jato

Submitted to Contest #54

Life does not give most a second chance; the industry was no different. The well-meaning could say that there had been enough instances of personalities experiencing late-blooming careers, or even a resurrection of their lost reputation. But the director knew these were the exceptions, and painted a false impression for outsiders. The rarity had thus become a norm in the eyes of the unacquainted, which was why none of his friends belonging to less glamorous sectors of the economy could not understand his troubles. “Why, jus...

“Destiny” by November Writes

Submitted to Contest #54

Laurie Collins took another sip of the cold, stale coffee. Staring frantically at the half-finished script which was due in a few hours, the words were jumbled in some places and the sentences felt too scripted in others. “ Not enough coffee,” Laurie thought, “ Besides, I need a break ”. She grabbed her stained cheap cup which she had bought at Walmart right after the divorce. What had happened anyways? Laurie couldn’t remember most of the marriage, of course, she remembered her and John’s fairytale wedding, and she remembered their be...

“A Different Type of Second Chance” by Czarina Jucutan

Submitted to Contest #54

If you were to ask me what a Friday night looks like for a 29 year old this is what I would say. “It depends.” It depends if you’re single, married without children, married with children or if you’re a single parent. If you’re single, you might already have plans to meet up with a friend or a group of friends. If you’re married without children, sometimes you might have a date-in or a date-out with your significant other. If you’re married with children, you probably have some plans for the family - a movie or a dinner together. If you’...
