“The Blind Date” by Portia Howell

Submitted to Contest #56

Greer - My impression of a blind date has always been associated with women and men in their mid-30s who are so unlucky in finding a partner that their friends have to step up and coax. So when my friend presented me with this opportunity, I immediately doubted my charm, speculating why I would need a blind date at the age of 19. Regardless, I decided to give it a chance to see what it has to offer. Hours before the date, which was scheduled to be at 10 p.m., my mind was imaginatively occupied by materialistic thoughts of my date, filtering ...

“THE CLASSIC HIT” by Claire Tennant

Submitted to Contest #56

Judy had just finished lunch, and her thoughts were far away. It was good to relax, and have time out, in fact, she was looking forward to a good book, soft music and an easy eats dinner. Suddenly, her phone erupted in that wailing sound indicating a message had been sent, or rather, upon examination, that two had been sent. They were both from her cousin, the cousin who invited drama, who never seemed to relax, who always found herself in hot water be in temperature or trouble, and always managed to want something. She r...

“Song on the wall” by Lee Dohann

Submitted to Contest #56

The wind was tucking at Meryl’s scarf. Pulling it tighter around her neck, she acknowledged the game of the wind, pushing her closer to her destination. She wanted to walk slower, but her legs kept the same pace. From her online searches she would recognize the rusty door anywhere. She sidestepped a cycling toddler, and her eye caught the headline from the newspaper stand. Another woman disappeared. The country was forcing everyone to live a different life. A life of fear, a life of confusion and a life of self-imposed isolation. Even her ac...

“Footsteps in the Jungle” by Daisy Torres

Submitted to Contest #56

My feet pounded the leaves of the jungle as I ran past the trees."You will regret this!" screamed Naylou. I laughed and scrambled up a tree. Truth be told, a part of me was afraid of her wrath.—But a bigger part enjoyed the feeling of watching her angrily chase after me, her ebony face purple with berry slime."I'll catch you Anaya, and when I do, you'll wish you'd never been born!" she shouted."That is likely true, but first, you must catch me!" My leafy ankle bracelet caught on a branch and snapped. I grimaced but continued to climb th...

“True love, and all that.” by CM Lucas

Submitted to Contest #56

So this sucks. His name is Jamie Campbell. Suave, debonair, charming, or at least that’s what he’d like to believe. Jamie has just sat down to dinner at one of Vancouver’s finest restaurants with his stunning blind date. The two complement one another perfectly. Jamie with his midnight blue, finely tailored suit, and his date with a strapless crimson evening gown. But all is not well on this particular night. Uhg. Have you ever been on one of those dates where you just want to drive off the side of a cliff? Not your ordinary five h...

“The different perspectives of two people meeting for a blind date Holi” by K V CHIDAMBARAM

Submitted to Contest #56

Brains could blind the beauty. With this philosophy Jaideep was quite sure that he will be able to get closer to Jotsna someday, sometime, somewhere, and somehow. He was also sure that he was not a match to her in any other manner whatsoever. Jaideep had no qualms about his being very unhandsome in looks under any circumstances. Jaideep was aware he was neither macho in his built nor versatile in his vocabulary. Whenever he is on the verge of meeting a person of the opposite sex he suffers from constipation of speech and diarrhea of though...

“Two Views, Blind Date” by Crys De

Submitted to Contest #56

Two Views, Blind Date. Eva- Eva stepped out of the steaming shower, onto the mat outside the tub. Eva grabbed the towel off the towel rack and wrapped it around her body. Eva walked over to the mirror and wiped the steam away; as she did so she realized her hand was shaking. Eva was nervous, her friend Kelly thought that she needed to start dating again so she set Eva up with her friend Nicholas. Eva had not been out with a man since her ex boyfriend Jason. Eva had believed that she and Jason would have gotten married, Eva thought that that ...

“Wedding Date.” by Lonnie Larson

Submitted to Contest #56

Carol was a good looking woman and at fourty she was tired of going home to an empty house. Her best friend Sandy was continuously trying to hook her up. She would go on the obligatory blind date and sometimes she would date them for a few weeks but they would eventually end up breaking up. “Hey Carol, you and Frank want to come with me and Joe to Mary and Dan’s wedding next month?” Sandy asked one day after work. “We’re not seeing each other anymore,” She replied as they made their way out to their cars. “Jeez Carol. Let them ge...

“That Day” by TheCritic Boy

Submitted to Contest #56

That day was something that Emilia Marquess had been dreading for about a week now. '“I can't believe my friends would just force this bullshit blind date on me despite knowing about my social anxiety. What jerks!” Emilia muttered to herself as she fiddled with her bootlaces. Done with tightly tying the laces to an uncomfortable degree, she straightened up and took a deep breathe before opening the front door to her house. That day was something that Edward Jones had been looking forward to for a about a week now. “Whew(exhales softly), Ca...

“She thought, He thought” by John Maygrove

Is that him?Fiona eyes the entering patrons suspiciously, idly peeling at the loose corner of her phone’s screen protector. A lanky ginger with thick glasses and prominent teeth ogles her as he strolls from the door to the bar.Oh, please no!Katie has informed her to look out for a red scarf, but it’s unseasonably warm outside. Most are not even wearing jackets.*Wow!*Robert surveys the room from the door. He’s been informed, by Katie, of course, to look out for the girl with the rose brooch. Seeing her, he walks over, beaming.Kind face, good ...

“Rare Steak” by April B

Submitted to Contest #56

Rare Steak By April Barlow Maybe this date would be different. He could The One, after all, or at least someone who was patient with Amy for a couple of hours. She knew that she was not the greatest at conversation or self-confidence. However, as she rehearsed her brilliant lines to the empty place setting, she had great optimism that the man she was about to meet would finally discover her inner goodness, somewhere. At this stage in her life, Amy knew that it would be her own fault if she awoke, decades from now, in a room filled with never...

“It's Not Working Out” by Courtney Dickson

Submitted to Contest #56

I fiddle in my seat, adjusting my skirt to stop it from riding up. The smell of fresh coffee grinds wafting through the air soothes me slightly and I breathe them deep into my lungs hoping they can help more. I have never been on a date let alone a blind one. That is not to say I have never been in a relationship; only that none of those necessarily started with a date. I glance down at my phone for something to do and notice that it is already 4:30 which is later than I usually like to drink coffee. I look around the café hoping to lock ey...

“Their Last Blind Date” by Chris Manders

Submitted to Contest #56

For someone of a relatively young age, this was to be Tara’s fourth, and last blind date – although this was something of which she was not yet aware. She was aware, however, of the butterflies fluttering delicately in her stomach as she wondered what this encounter would be like. Would he find her attractive or would he even care? She felt that the male of the species often decided instantly as to whether the girl was suitable as a partner or in the “wham, bam, thank you ma’am” category! And she wasn’t too happy to even be ...

“Preface of "Passion and Discontent" by Mary Teske” by Mary Teske

Submitted to Contest #56

Her past had been one full of scars in the form of memories. Each time she fell in love, blissfully under her belief in fairytale romance, merely to be crushed when the curtain of her love's disguise had been pulled. Feelings of happiness from her dreams were shattered, she was shown that trust was nothing more than a word, and self-doubt had taken over her inner beauty for quite some time. Some call this depression or rock-bottom, but for her it became the most important turning point within her quest for a knight in shining armor. She grad...

“Seasonal” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #56

Alexander knew that this would just be another mindless date with a shallow girl pretending to be a woman, perhaps they were physically adults but he knew emotionally and mentally they were all but children...it made these experiences all the more frustrating for him. He was going to be King of the Summer Court, a court already scorned by the other kingdoms thanks to his father’s somewhat relaxed ruling style and infidelity towards his mother. His court’s reputation couldn’t afford to be dragged down any further, especially via shallow and s...
