“My Boots were made for Walking” by Sue Marsh

Submitted to Contest #54

My Boots were made for Walking Suzanne Marsh Summer of 1966 “Mallory, there is girl that I want to date. I know that this is really rotten timing.” “Rotten timing? I have my prom dress, you said you were taking me. Now what am I supposed to do? I can't return the prom dress back! You are making me look like a fool.” The radio in his baby blue Mustang began to blare, to drown me out no doubt. Then I realized the song was These Boots were made for Walkin, at that instant I decided that so were my boots made for walking. The traffic light ...

“My Old Love” by Basil Boi

Submitted to Contest #54

“Jenny?” The smooth, dreamy voice that I knew all too well had just spoken my name once again. His smiling face flashed in my mind as I turned away from my desk. I was met with those dark beautiful chocolate eyes that I had stared helplessly into when I was younger. “T-tom.” I choked out. Everything seemed to come back all at once. All those long-forgotten feelings from my young love. The arguments, tears, that drunken mistake that ruined it all. That night I cried for hours, heartbroken. Then those dazzling butterfly feelings flooded...

“Faded” by Kylie Wallis

Submitted to Contest #54

Three completely unexpected things happened to Chloe Maddox when she turned twenty-five and it seemed to happen all at once; her younger brother Jayden confessed that he was gay, she found the perfect apartment to rent, and her grandfather told everyone who mattered to him that he had cancer. Sure, it wasn't all good news, but she hoped that everything else in her life from that birthday onwards would end up being more positive than negative...Chloe ran a hand through her new shortcut hair, liking very much how it framed her face. Her friend...

“I Never Stopped Loving You” by Jane Andrews

Submitted to Contest #54

Past: Everyone at school called us The Golden Couple – not because he was the star quarterback and I was the head cheerleader, but because everyone who saw us instantly said that here were two people in love. Our yearbook marked us out as the ‘Couple most likely to get married’ and, at the age of eighteen, that’s what Todd and I thought too. When we said goodbye as we left for our separate universities, both of us meant it as an ‘au revoir’ and not an ‘adieu’: we were full of promises to write and call and to visit as soon as possible. We m...

“Only Coffee” by Barbara Eustace

Submitted to Contest #54

Rachel looked at herself in the mirror. Why the hell was she so nervous? It was only coffee. But after so long. He’d contacted her on Facebook out of the blue. ‘Hey. Remember me? Fancy meeting up? Coffee? Talk through old times?’ Of course she remembered him. They’d been an item back in the day. He was young and good looking, she was young, drawn to those blue eyes, that ready smile. Yes, and she supposed she’d been attractive back then. Then she’d gone to college, uni, and well, ...

“Of Red and its Irony” by Lizzy Burt

Submitted to Contest #54

Is that him? I nearly drop the loaf of bread, on its way from the shelf to my cart. Time stops as I inspect the man halfway down the aisle. His hair is just as red and curly as I remember. He looks a little more muscular and less scrawny from the last time I saw him. Goosebumps raise on my arms as I think about those hands that used to stroke my face and wrap around my back. A red t-shirt matches his hair. Red was always his favorite color. Red was the color of the dress I wore to my first prom with him. He couldn’t stop staring...

“Letting Go” by B Hall

Submitted to Contest #54

“Well doc, I’m about to be married. Sure it took me till I was a little over 30, but what more could I possibly want in life than the possibility of eternal love and a family of my own?” I state this with as much fake enthusiasm as I can muster, though I’m pretty sure my long-time therapist Dr. Bennet who is in her 60’s and has seen more than her fair share of client pandering isn’t buying my crap as usual. “I’m not buying that crap Layla.” Told you. “Look Layla dear, we have been together on this journey of recovery for just over ...

“She Chose Herself” by Christina Hall

Submitted to Contest #54

Miranda dug around in her make-up bag, searching for a specific lipstick that went great with her auburn hair and the electric green shirt she was wearing. Not finding it, she ran to her room, spastically searching for it. T-shirts and thongs that had been littered across her dresser wet flying as she combed through the mess.“What are you looking for?” Martin was reclined on Miranda’s bed, watching her with a lopsided grin.“Lipstick.”“What about all those on your dresser?”She didn’t appreciate the amusement in his tone. “Those don’t go with ...

“Destined to be together” by N C

Submitted to Contest #54

I swept Anna off of her feet the night of prom. This was going to be the last time I did this. I was moving, yet I have not told her. I wasn’t planning to. I don’t know how she would react, so I wasn’t taking any chances. I was going to enjoy this last night. Anna and I had been going out for a year now, and she was the best girl anyone could ever wish for. Her long, wavy curls, cute personality, beautiful choice of clothes, she was smart and funny, and her beauty. She was stunning. I would never want to leave her, but due to my dad’s...

“We Are Missing You!” by P. Jean

Submitted to Contest #54

(Write a story about high school sweethearts coming across one another after many, many years apart.)The heat is intense as I shuffle down our dusty driveway to see what crap the mail person has left for us today. It seems a pointless walk and yet, part of my mind always has hopes of something interesting, new or fun. An invitation to a book discussion group or a class from one of my near extinct hobbies. Mostly the mail is full of ads for politicians or services we don’t need or use.I wave causally to a neighbor, brush o...

“When Stars Align-Love, Orion.” by Stephanie Viljoen

Submitted to Contest #54

Since high school, Anna was always the pretty one. She had long blond hair, kissed with streaks of the summer sun. Her fringe made a perfect border around her oval shaped face and with every mood the color of her green blue eyes would change. She liked keeping it real with nude lip liner and a touch of light pink lipstick. Her lashes were carefully brushed with midnight black and her breath always smelled of fresh mint. Anna had a body that was nice to look at. With caves perfectly shaped and a body with all the desired curves. What mad...

“Fate” by David Abu Bonsrah

Submitted to Contest #54

I wasn't in for marriage, yet I was continually dating so many girls. I was clothed in my suit waiting for the girl I had tried to describe to My Dating App. I wanted marriage although I didn't want to show it, my heart was eager for it. Living a simple life with my wife and our children somewhere peaceful wouldn't be something hard to ask for. My past lovers called me the slow type but I called it my technique.''What's she wearing?'' I asked the App as I parked my car. I smiled and checked if everything was alright. My perfume was perfect a...

“Two Men by a Duck Pond” by Deborah Mercer

Submitted to Contest #54

Nell had realised it long before seeing what she saw – or more to the point, whom she saw, in front of her in the queue at the Post Office. Melvin was boring. He was quite monumentally, soul-sappingly, brain drainingly boring – and the latter, at least, was ironic, as nobody could say he was stupid. He had, most people agreed, more or less single-handedly pulled up the Pub Quiz team at the Chandler’s Arms up by its bootstrings, so it was now challenging for the local championship, not languishing in the fourth t...
