“Alligator Breakfast” by N C

Submitted to Contest #52

For four days straight, Calli had not stopped by the bathtub to feed her alligator, who she called Fox. She thought he was too fat and decided to put him on a diet for her wedding two weeks away. How dumb. Grien looked at himself in the mirror. I should get some six packs, he thought. He had not agreed to marry Calli because he loved her, but because he had a major crush on her STEPMOTHER! Calli’s stepmom was a hottie, having all the awesome features a guy wants. The only thing they don’t know is she has a HUGE mole on her butt. That’s conf...

“Twenty minutes too late” by Tommy Whitehurst

Submitted to Contest #52

Running late! 20 minutes late. As usual. Lunch with mom. A very punctual woman. A little up tight. But knows what she wants and how to get it. So, running late seemed to be a trait I did not inherit. First impressions one of her pet peeves. And of course today is the day she is introducing me to a dear friends son. Fixing me up as usual. As she keeps reminding me that having a great career won’t bring me true happiness and that I am not getting any younger. Hell. I’m only 28.Rushing in to meet Mom and the man of my dreams. (In her eyes). Pul...

“Her Choice” by Iona Cottle

Submitted to Contest #52

The prosecco has gone straight to my head, and now I can’t tell what’s excitement and what’s alcohol. I’m floating round on a happy buzz, and the slight asphyxiation from my dress doesn’t help. “All set?” Elsa, my maid of honour, asks. “Yup.” She continues to fuss about, checking and double checking I have all of my ‘good luck’ charms; something borrowed, blue, old, new and the sixpence. It’s hard not to smile, seeing how seriously she’s taking her duties. At her wedding I was only a bridesmaid, but as soon as I asked her to be my maid...

“Before He Cheats” by Desdemonda Ruud

Submitted to Contest #52

Many people, when extremely happy, will say that they’re having, ‘the best day of their life’. But for me, today that is literal. Two years ago, I met a guy at the bar. I had just been in a serious relationship for five years, and it had ended in the worst heartbreak. He offered to buy me a drink. I decided to use his flirtatious personality to save me some money, and so I said yes. After getting extremely drunk, I went back to his place, where I fell asleep on the couch after spilling Vodka all over myself. The next morning, I woke to a nos...

“MARRIED TO A MAFIA BOSS!!!???” by Legend Generating Princess

Submitted to Contest #52

Today was the day I was going to get married and I was really not looking forward to it. I mean, I was going to spend my entire life with a guy I really despised and hated since my childhood. I almost forgot to introduce myself. Hey there, my name is Sofia Grace and I'm a daughter of a really wealthy and rich businessman whose name is Carson Grace. My mother's name is Clarissa Grace and she's the reason I'm getting married to a douchebag today and I feel really steamed about it. The name of the guy I'm supposed to get married to today, is Ju...

“Worst in Might” by OPHOKE LEONARD

Submitted to Contest #52

All my life as a virgin, I wished that any man who would marry me should never have tasted the best of a woman. As a working-class lady, I gave my whole life on work as if without it I cannot live. Many of my friends were so jealous of my commitment to work. “Bissi, why are you always at the top of everyone in this company. I wonder what your fate will be if at the end you are fired from service,” Dorothy asked her during lunch break. Bissi love having fun after lunch and her co-workers draw to her because she's eloquent and elegant looki...

“This closet's a little cramped” by Emilie Stokes

Submitted to Contest #52

For all of her life, Janice had always tried to make her father proud. It was a tall order, considering he was never proud of anything. He was hate-filled and it showed in every aspect of his life. His job, his marriage, his child, where all treaded civilly and without love. Janice often wondered if he ever felt anything at all, or was he just an emotionless bag floating through the wind. And, as she grew older, her father's opinion felt less and less important. At 20, she didn't quite think highly of his opinions in gen...

“My mother told me that she should be the one marry to my husband.” by Marie A. Diaz-Cervo

Submitted to Contest #52

She has been playing with my head for a long time, and I did not know that it was not normal what she was doing until I have my children. When I was very young, she showed us her private part, and that picture stayed with me. I asked my sisters if they remembered what she did, and they answered yes. I would not do something like that to my daughter because that is not normal. I managed to get married at thirty years old because in my culture if you are not married, that would mean something is not right with you. Although my future husband a...

“Show and tell” by Ankita Chaurasia

Submitted to Contest #52

December 19, 2020The lid is loud as it slams the box shut, taunting my indecision to open it. I try again, this time pushing it back all the way, my arthritic joints squeaking in protest. The stubborn hinges relent, revealing the meagre contents of the chest--a wispy veil of mist and magic. I lift it out of its blue velvet cage and almost hear a rustle of complaining. It's been a while. It glows in the dimly-lit room as I hold it close to my face, drinking in the intoxicating fragrance that's a delicious cross between irises and eternity, wi...

“Married At Last?” by Juliet Wilson

Submitted to Contest #52

Edinburgh, Scotland, 2014 It was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives. After years of living together and waiting for same sex marriage to become legal, Tina and I could finally get married. “But why do you suddenly want to fit yourselves into a heterosexist institution when you've been happy together for so long without it?” our friend Katie asked. “It's about equality!” Tina said. "Isn't it Susie?" “Absolutely, but it's also about commitment!” I said. “We've always wanted to be able to do this!” “You'll look adorable in m...

“WELL, THIS IS A PICKLE” by Scott Smock

Submitted to Contest #52

The build up had been amazing. The prenup was signed, the dress was bought and the tuxedo had been fitted. Now it was the day you'd been waiting for; the wedding between yourself and your one true love, Anne Guillaume. It was one hour before the wedding. You were excited, nervous and worked up for the honeymoon, all at the same time. You were seeking for the minister but were stopped in your tracks by your wife to be. "Hey, babe, I know it's bad luck to see your fiance before the wedding but, and be honest, is this dress too short?" Your mou...

“The Big Day” by Matthew Turner

Submitted to Contest #52

The room was hot. Stifling hot. The building was old so everything in it was old, including the air conditioner and vent system. Derrick did his best to try to “think cool” so he wouldn’t sweat through the cheap rent-a-tux he was wearing. It wasn’t comfortable now and he couldn’t imagine it would get any better if he was soaking wet. His groomsmen were loosely gathered around him in the cramped room. It was in moments like this that he realized he didn’t have that many friends. There were five of them all together, him and the four groomsmen...
