“The Lies of Dan and Terry” by Karin Naude

Submitted to Contest #67

Dan eyed his colleague from behind his desk, he was leaning back, hands folded behind his head. “It’s 50,000 dollars prize money, we can give it a shot.”Terry stared back at him, she didn’t really like Dan, he was arrogant and lazy, she had to cover for his long boozy lunches many a day, and do the work. He had an annoying air about him, and he always got away with his wayward behaviour. But the money was very tempting, and she knew him well enough, she thought they might just pull it off.“Run it by me again, it’s a dating competition realit...

“The Last Beat ” by Makennah Cugini

Submitted to Contest #67

Our eyes met when we were only 14. We were in the 8th grade and it was love at first sight. Well at least for me... When I realized who he was I panicked. He was that one kid from school. He was the jock that all the girls dreamed of walking down the hall holding his hand... But that was never going to happen. I remember meeting him a few years back, he bumped into me in the hallway walking with his girlfriend. He knocked the books out of my hand and walked away laughing. He was one of those kids. Anyways even though I now knew who it was I ...

“COUPLES NEXT DOOR” by Martin Buckell

Submitted to Contest #67

I was leafing through a magazine down at the vets, while waiting for my sausage dog to emerge from having his balls cut off, when I came across an advert that caught my eye:‘COUPLES WANTED FOR REALITY TV SHOW. £100,000 PRIZE MONEY’A light bulb came on in my head. Bingo. ‘Maybe, I should enter this.’ I thought. ‘I could be on TV.’ There was one glaring drawback, I was single and hadn’t had a girlfriend since Susan Belcher dumped me...

“Contractual” by Chelsea Minjarez

Submitted to Contest #67

It’s getting harder to pretend. A sweat droplet drips down between my shoulder blades, tickling my back as it descends along my spine. It’s a game I’ve begun playing. How far can I track the droplets? Can they travel all the way from my neck to my ankles? He pointed it out once, when we were lounging by the pool in between filming challenges. “I swear that sweat started out near your collar bone,” He’d said, a teasing lilt to his voice. “Are you staring at me again?” I’d quipped back. We’d been beyond being embarrassed by it...

“Extra$” by Christopher Cayen-Cyr

Submitted to Contest #67

“Cameras in the house?” Rhea stared at the producer in such an unflinching way one could have wondered whether her soul had left her body. Had someone looked up the word incredulous, her face might as well have defined it. “Yes,” replied the producer, calm and composed. “That’s the deal. If you want the Extras, that is.” “Of course we do!” screamed Nick, elated. All three sat in a luxurious office at the Beverly Studios administration building. “What are the extras exactly?” asked Rhea. “Five thousand dollars a week for the rest of...

“Before We Knew It ” by Brittany Smith

Submitted to Contest #67

Whoever invented high heels must have been a man. I mean, whom else would have decided that torture devices for the feet should be a fashion statement? I eye the hunter green 4-inch high death traps the wardrobe assistant Maria had set before me moments earlier. "To match the mistletoe" she said in that snarky tone she seemed to reserve for just about everyone. Maybe the peppermint mocha I left in her locker might sweeten up her day. After all, it's December first and the scent of gingerbread, peppermint, and spiced cider permeate the ...

“Hello Darling! The swimming pool is calling us. Come on Let us go.” Raman gave a call to Vinaya. She too responded. “Yes, my dear. Just a minute.” She was out there with her swimming costume and accessories, like headcap, eyewear glasses, change of dresses and minimum make-up kits all tucked in a bag. She joined him, clenching his fingers into hers. There was a small sprint in her stylish steps showing off her ecstatic mood. Raman too had his bag filled with his requirements. At the swimming pool there were some easy cosy reclining chairs ...

“Test! Your! Love!!!” by William Hargrove

Submitted to Contest #67

The flickering lights of Arthur Avenue gave a fittingly ominous atmosphere to Ryan’s current endeavor. He kept his eyes pinned to the sidewalk, staring at his shoelaces as they whipped the ground with each step. Ignoring the discarded needles and empty broken bottles littering his peripheral vision at all times, Ryan approached the corner of the street and was met with the most beautiful sight. Her white skirt was closer in size to a belt than an actual piece of material for covering one’s body. Her hair was curly and dyed funky colors in pe...

“Love's Twist” by Betsy Remington☕

Submitted to Contest #67

“Hey, Lady!” Owen greeted Adelaide when he called her that morning. It may have sounded like a bad Jerry Lewis impression, but it was how he had greeted her since they were 12 years old and shared a study hall. He had been the class clown, and she was the only reason he passed his Spanish class. Fourteen years later, he was a struggling actor, and she was a secretary in a law office. “What’s going on, Doughboy?” she asked, using the nickname she occasionally used for him, bestowed after a particularly horrible joke Owen had made ...

Not to talk of the cash prize.”“But..... there’s something else,” Sheila stuttered.“And what’s that?” Luke asked turning from the T.V. towards her.“I just broke up with my boyfriend,” she answered with a sad tone.“What happened? Did he hurt you so bad?”“The relationship wasn’t getting any healthy for me. He kept apologising for the same thing over and over again. He was draining me of my energy. I was bleeding and dying on the inside. So I decided w...

“True Lover$” by Greg Gorman

Submitted to Contest #67

Stan and Nina were sitting at the bar. It was a Friday night. Their favorite place wasn’t as crowded as it usually was at the end of the week, not that they were complaining. It meant they were able to get a seat. They had known each other for three years. They met at work. Nina took another job and Stan was let go as the result of a merger, but the two had remained friends and kept in touch. Friday night seemed like a great time to get a drink and catch up on things. Stan got up to use the men’s room. Nina took this opportunity to check m...
