I can do this.Anna wasn't sure the exact mile marker where she had picked up the mantra, but as the knot in her stomach grew, she found that she liked the solace the repetition provided.I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.Anna had read a book once on the power of manifesting your reality. Perception is reality, the book intoned. You just had to visualize your desire for it to come true. While the message was meant to be empowering, it was now having nearly the opposite effect on her; if wanting something desperately was the ticket to...

Peter Peter and the Road Trip It all started out well enough. They met and fell in love almost instantly. She was a university teacher from New Jersey. He was an embroidery designer from Sunbaru. They both were older. But love knows no age, she told herself.

Peter Peter looked for work but found none. “Too old,” he was told.“Can’t work hard. Looks all worn out.” ...

Roger; Oklahoma City, OKIt was an all too familiar routine, one that I had done almost every weekend since I met Kelly on a work trip to Kansas City six months ago.Get in the car. Put my phone in the mount. Seat belt on. Podcast on. And drive. Every trip up until this one had been great. The two-and-a-half-hour drive always went by fast for me and the weekends even faster. We always had the same general plans for when we met up. We got coffee at a locally-owned shop, where after a month of weekends, th...

“When Will I See You” by Hema Nookala

Submitted to Contest #6

The feelings of longing are often abated by the feelings of anticipation.Before she leaves the house she stops by her vanity, pausing for a moment to dive through the chest of drawers, in search of a still-full bottle of perfume. There are never enough occasions to justify the expense but today was occasion enough for her to dab the scent against her wrists before tossing it back into the drawer.
