“Love on Battlefield.” by Meghma Ghosh

Submitted to Contest #67

Chilling with my family on the weekend has no words to be explained... a nice movie, brother's comment in between the movie, some snacks, some cold drinks, mom's fantastic cooking and at last going to my room and jumping with a cozy blanket on the super soft bed for a goodnight's sleep. Next day is monday, my brother loves them but for me monday's are the bugs made by god to make our websites known as Life.com. to be more harder. "I HATE THEM". I am a pilot, 22,689 hours of flyings and 20,000 fly time certificate. I l...

“eight of cups ” by Neppi A

Submitted to Contest #67

Samara was into acting even before she had met Kevin. She took part in small acting gigs on weekends between her busy college weekdays. Acting for her was more of a hobby than a part-time job. A hobby that paid enough to handle the minute expenses outside of her scholarship’s coverage. She met Kevin on a midsummer’s day, when she was cycling back from playing Queen Victoria, dead tired. The wind had a taste of lavender crushed against mint leaves as it ladled past her bare face, the sun, about to set. It had been a serene feeling until Kevin...

“Untrue Love” by Kate Bibb

Submitted to Contest #67

༺CLARA༻ Clara Forbes snuggled up in Parker Ambrose's lap, a soft smile on her face as she read her favorite novel. The study was cool, but she didn't feel the chill while she was in Parker's arms. Clara mouthed the words slightly as she read, trying to make the scene more entertaining. The thought made her chuckle. Clara couldn't really see the appeal, but 70% of the viewers did. Apparently, she was cute when she read quietly to herself. She giggled softly, marveling at how gullible Americans are. Parker tucked a finger under her chin, mak...

You are supposed to at least like me!”“Listen Raelene, remember we are doing this for the money!I’m not really into you, I already have a gorgeous girlfriend!”“Then why didn’t you have her with you?”“Only because she didn’t meet their criteria, otherwise I would have.”“Here they come, hold my hand, and smile, we need this money!” Raelene whispered.Raelene lived in a small town, and worked at a dreary job day in, day out.

“Questions and Answers” by Tanja Cilia

Submitted to Contest #67

“You sound like an old married couple!” his sister told us, when she heard us alternately bickering and bantering.“Ha!” I replied, ever the nerd. “At one point in Green Card, Lauren tells Brontë and Georges exactly that; ‘You sound like an old married couple’. Déjà-vu, ha ha!”We were at the Emergency Clinic at hospital. Xanthe had fallen off a ladder (long story!) and we had driven her to hospital.By ‘we’, I mean Matthew and myself. He was, literally, the boy-next-door. We had virtually, and literally, known each other since before we were b...

- "Remember, dear viewers, that the prize pool for the most exciting love story in our reality show is a hundred thousand US dollars!" - the commentator said on that popular television channel, where we - me and Robert, my eternal and inseparable friend of my entire life , whom I had known since kindergarten and we were still wearing diapers, we sat while waiting for the five o'clock tea. - Did you see that? - asked Pedrito, to whom I closed his face with a distrustful look, asking: - Are you really going to try to p...

“Love connection ” by Julie Adamson

Submitted to Contest #67

It was a stupid idea, I wouldn’t be doing this if not for the hundred thousand dollar price. I had just started my makeup business and the extra money would be go a long way to helping me with starting up. My friend Matt he wanted the money for his band. They’d had a few small shows, this way they could hire a venue and play for free and using extra money to promote it. “We get a following, it means more shows and more shows gives them a chance to be seen by a record label,” he told me The audition was e...

The year is 2038. I’m a good student. I get good grades, the teachers love me, I win a lot of competitions. I’m in love with someone I shouldn’t be. She has no idea I even exist. Every day I pass her in the hallway, I try to get her attention and she ignores me. I can’t talk to her in class, because it’s forbidden. I can’t talk to her in the halls because it’s forbidden. I can’t talk to her on the phone because it’s forbidden. I can’t talk to her anywhere because it’s forbidden. My friend tells me I should j...

“Soulmates of the Unconventional Kind” by Madeleine Hays

“It ends tomorrow,” James says, as though I’ve been able to think of anything else for the past two days. “It does,” I say, sinking into the bed. “Shame, this resort bed is so much more comfortable than my own.” He laughs. “Yeah. It’s huge too.” He pauses and takes a breath before continuing. “Do you think it’s a shame that we’ve been living together for a month and the part we’ll miss most is the beds? That we didn’t actually… fall in love?” I give him a sideways glance. “Do you?” He laughs. “Not really. Perhaps in another life.” “Good. I d...

“There she is,” Beau said as I walked through his front door with our daughter, Mariah. I loved seeing his happy face when he saw her. He got down to her level and grabbed her hands in his and squeezed them. He then let go and let her go to her room. He looked at me seriously, very seriously. “We need to talk.” He walked to me and hugged me. &nb...

“The Best Match” by Ken Coomes

Submitted to Contest #67

Jackson leaned in for a kiss. Miranda turned her head, brunette curls swinging, allowing a peck on the cheek, and whispered in Jackson’s ear. “What are you doing? This isn’t a real date. Remember?” Jackson moved his lips to her ear, pretending to give her a little nibble, and whispered back. “We need to make it look real. There are cameras everywhere.” The cameras loved them. His short, straight blond hair gave contrasted well with her shoulder-length, curling brunette. Her soft, caramel skin offset the alabaster hue of his. A dark pink s...

“Red Shift” by Chris Wagner

Submitted to Contest #67

The central set for the game show looked like Mission Control with joysticks and rumble seats, banks of monitors displaying demo screens for just about every video game you can think of. Fog machines gave ambiance, console lights flickered and flashed, big speakers filled the air with explosions, whooping alien spacecraft noises and laser blasts, crystals and vaguely alien machinery props lighting up to punctuate the noise. I recognized the boom of an exploding Galaga fighter, the gobble of Pac-Man eating dots. The place smelled ...

“More than Friends” by Zethu Dlamini

“C’mon Vuyo, just consider it,” Lusanda insisted, her eyes growing wider. “Lulu, you’re out of your mind,” Vuyo said gripping his head in frustration. “Ah Vuyo! Could you just humor me for a second and consider it. Here’s why we would win: Firstly, we’ve been friends for four years now so we know each other’s strong points and weak points. Secondly, we basically have the same personality so we will hardly face the same problems as the other couples. In addition, we have fun together… so it’ll be more like a vacation for us and at the grand N...
