“Love Madness” by OPHOKE LEONARD

Submitted to Contest #53

“Wake up from sleep Grace, it is true. Summer is here. Where do you think we should have the summer from?”She was a bit hesitant because this has never happened. He continued asking, “Please, my dear speak to me,” Lenny pleaded.“Do you mean what you are saying or you are just trying to pull my legs?She showed him little stubbornness and immediately, he came closer and kissed her face with a smile saying, “Darling, I am going to make it up for you just relax, I am coming.”She thought it was his usual hoax to inveigle her. Surprisingly, he bro...

“Fully Ripened Love” by Marcia H.

Submitted to Contest #53

Who would have thought that a few clicks of the mouse would be the key to finding true love? I was doubtful at first. After all, I just celebrated my 50th birthday and was not used to any kind of computer love, as I called it. I actually did it on a dare from my best friend, Nora. She had found her husband to be online after many years of dating men that weren’t exactly a match for her, in her words, “loosers.” She told me about this new dating site which matches up people 50 or over with dates and when I waved my hand in the air in dismissa...

“Oomen's Omana” by Parvathy Sabapathy

Submitted to Contest #53

It was the beginning of year 2020 that I landed my dream job in one of the premier institutions in Mumbai. I loved my career and this was what I had set-upon to achieve twelve years ago. Brought up in a small town in God's own country – Kerala, I was yet to adjust to the hustle-bustle of the busiest Metro in India.I looked forward to each new day at work. Those soft, spongy, twin-bums in all shapes and sizes lured me to work each morning. Knowing me to be an emotional guy, many well-wishers had advised me that I wouldn’t be successful in my ...

“Love in the time of quarantine ” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #53

I was born in the summer. To be specific I was born on July 4th. It has often been said that people tend to favor seasons they enjoy with the month that they were born. That was definitely true for me. My favorite sports were played in the summer, there was no school in the summer, and I met my true love in the summer. When I close my eyes, I remember that night so clearly. I was spending the evening with some friends for the first time in over four months. We were all weary from sheltering in place. It was 2920 and we we...

“Broken Without You” by Robyn Moss

Submitted to Contest #53

My Dearest Ruth,I trust this letter finds you in good health. The thoughts of you and I are like a constant symphony in my mind playing the same song repeatedly. I yearn to feel you, to touch you the way we once did. I am saddened at the thought of laying my eyes on you, yet unable to encapsulate your body with mine. The tips of my fingers crave the shape of your womanly curves. To taste your sweet lips again is the reason for my living. I would love to run my fingers through your hair, pull you close to me and passionately kiss you, showing...

“An Accident to Remember” by Daisy Torres

Submitted to Contest #53

Write about a Summer love during Quarantine? I pondered over the thought and eventually decided to write my own story. I hadn't left my house for three weeks because of Quarantine, which was normal. I was a bit of a hermit, and liked it that way. I decided to redo my home one day, which wasn't unusual—I redecorated fairly often out of boredom, and I hated the feeling of sameness that settled over things that were left in the same place for too long—and I was carrying a painting downstairs of my cabin in the woods that I'd only finished last ...

“Beer Betrothed” by Lee Jay

Submitted to Contest #53

It was a quarter past three in the afternoon, and like a sirens song she sang to him. They had only just met a week ago, at a friends recommendation, but their love had grown so much bolder and darker as quarantine dragged. She would glare at him with sultry eyes every time he went into the kitchen; she was pleading with him to take her right there right then. When he would open the fridge she would hang on the edge teasing him with that long shapely neck. She was such a temptress - a foreign taste on his tongue that left him wanting more.&n...

“Unusual Love” by DERRICK CHU

Jack is in love. No, no! Not the usual kind! He is in love with something different. Something unusual. He is in love with his video games. A few years ago, Jack was just a normal kid, until he got his first whiff of video games. At first, his parents limited his time to 1 hour a day, but after his parents got older they didn’t care anymore. The first few months, Jack stuck with the 1 hour plan, but soon, he caught the deadly virus called Just A Minute More. Then, came the deadly Covid 19. The president ordered people to stay h...

“Through the Screen” by Kaylynn Lee

Submitted to Contest #53

The light from my phone lit up my darkened room as a text vibrated it’s way through, and I knew it was him. I didn’t have to look, I just knew. I had expected that sometime within the last six weeks, the time apart would have forced us to quit these nightly phone calls, or at least, that one of us would get tired of dragging out our impending first ever – get to see each other in person – meeting. I grabbed the little palm sized rectangle off my bedside table and read the message that said he would call in five minutes if I wanted to ...

“Then I Woke Up” by Mary Corbin

Summer Love - the Quarantine Edition “Then I Woke Up” by Mary Corbin I could never have seen it coming if you had asked me two months ago but I fell in love this summer. Who doesn’t fall in love in summer, right? But this was no ordinary summer and this was certainly no ordinary love. This was my love from the summer of 1980. Come back to find me. With so much sitting around not going places, one does get a little restless to say the least and you sit on the couch reading your Facebook scroll and your Insty page and all levels of crazy...

“Hidden Within” by Ericka Wells

It was the blistering heat of summer and in his apartment, the hacker watched the computer screens, one was on the ginger artist, and the other was a Program full of notes and data of the artist's criminal past.She had not been convicted on any of the crimes she committed, but the hacker knew she had done it all, he had seen it. The artist had covered her crimes in paintings or sculptures or other art pieces. One time he saw her carving a sculpture around an actual dead body, which was then displayed in a family-friendly museum. Another time...

Wow. I actually could believe that my mom wasn't letting me out of the house. Isn't the mortality rate of this disease like 1 percent?Ana said she was going to her beach house for a few days and although I had been permitted to hang out with her, I wasn't sure my mom would allow me to go.I decided to have the conversation with her."Mom, I'm almost an adult, you have to start treating me like one," I said mid-conversation."Fine, but you have to be safe," she sighed in defeat, picked up her cup of tea, and continued her robotic morning routine...

Summer 1918, CopenhagenEmilia’s heart was heavy as she looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly on the gardens across the street, but she could not venture out to feel its warmth. The officials had announced the city-wide quarantine that afternoon. All Emilia wanted was to be home. She had come to visit her cousin Vicki and cousin-in-law Felix, but she had not intended to be here through all this. The influenza outbreak had come on suddenly, and everyone in the house was uneasy. To make it worse, Felix’s younger brother Micah was ...

“AFTER THE RAIN” by Rodrigo Juatco

Submitted to Contest #53

Strange how a simple shift of the wind as it stirs the branches of a nearby tree could bring to mind something which occurred to me years before. It was after the rain. The path I walked upon felt slick beneath my sandals. There was a clean, crisp feel to the air. It was early morning. The birds were singing. I decided to walk down my backyard and sit on a make-shift wooden bench. Sleep had become a distant memory—my long lost friend. So many ideas, images, emotions, and feelings swirled through my head as I sat there staring out into the no...
