“Shrekella” by The Last Unicorn

Submitted to Contest #56

“Oh come on Darcy! Please no blind dates…” “What?! You did what?!” “Un-believable. You know that I don’t do blind dates. Let alone dates. I’m just not the girl for that.” “What do you mean I don’t get out much? Ugh, hello. I have friends. I have you!” “Prude? Who you calling prude? Excuse moi. I am no prude.” “Just….what? Darcy! I ain’t got the time!” “Wait. Hello? Hello? Hello?! She hung up. Great. Just great.” I slumped on the couch as my cat, Poseidon, sat on my lap and then stared at me. “What are you looking at?” I hissed. Poseid...

“Love in All Honesty” by Miss Kat Flores

Submitted to Contest #56

“Why do I need to be here?” That question hangs on my mind as I enter the artsy cafe. As if things have not been that bad in school already, upon coming home, my mother reprimanded me to go meet another “husband prospect.” Yes, you heard it right. Husband – not best friend, not boyfriend, not a live in partner, but a husband. As the eldest in the family, it has become my utmost duty and pledge to get tied before my other siblings. Yesterday, I found my favorite shirt on the floor, filthy and bleached – there and then I knew, not...

“A Suprise of a Date” by Zahra Zakir

Submitted to Contest #56

Rosie I took a few deep breaths, attempting to calm my nerves before I entered the bar. I hated blind dates. My anxiety when entering restaurants and bars alone and standing there looking like a moron while I tried to find my friends was high enough but entering alone and not knowing who exactly I was looking for made me even more jittery. I could barely stand still and my right foot kept tapping on the pavement edge. I took out my vape pen, hoping the nicotine might calm my nerves. A slight breeze made me shiver and I realised my thin...

“Blind Date Sweethearts” by Angela Doverspike

Submitted to Contest #56

Loreal paced the floor of her living room. Too anxious to even notice the beauty of the autumn colors bathing in the sunlight. Her third floor apartment windows offered her a bird’s eye view of the park and the tops of the trees. Leaves dancing along the sidewalks below went unnoticed. Wringing her hands, she questioned everything. How did she end up agreeing to a blind date? A blind date! “I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” She gave her friend a sharp look. “You’re going to wear a hole in the floor if you don’t stop y...

“When Opposites Attract | Part 1” by June ✾

Submitted to Contest #56

LUCYSmoothing down the wrinkles that had formed on her marine blue skirt, Lucia Blythe — called Lucy by her close ones — pursed her lips into a thin smile as she glanced primly up at the young gentleman that had positioned himself on the seat opposite hers.The pair sat face-to-face at a candlelit table, located in the far corner of the dim restaurant. The atmosphere was pleasant, thanks to the merry rings of laughter sounding in bursts throughout the room, and the faint classical musical playing from the overhead speakers. Framed paintings o...

“TWO SIDES TO A BLIND DATE” by Chinagorom Mgbudem

Submitted to Contest #56

The sky was filled with dark clouds as it shrouded everything with darkness and the heavy pouring of rain. In a corner of the dark streets, at a bus stand, were two people, a male and female. Currently they were both drenched and wet and they were both hugging themselves as they tried to conserve their body heat in this cold environment. The time was after seven in the evening and the rain had been going on for two hours now. For two because they had been caught off guard by the rain and none of them had made any preparations, having not che...

“ Anatomy and Blind Dating ” by AL Pern

Submitted to Contest #56

© While sitting at the upscale bar in a fine restaurant, I wondered how big a mistake this was. What’s the worst that can happen - an early night and web surfing back home? A beautiful black woman came in and looked around. I forgot to ask about race. I tried to catch her eye and flaunted my emerald green “It’s ME” scarf. She looked past me and I looked through her classy outfit. Just as I imagined my tongue lapping hers, she lit up and greeted her actual date. Merde! Minutes later, a tall, slim, barely tanned woman hung up her coat but ret...

“That Night ” by Mackenzie Hebner

May 17, 2016... It was one of those moments that feels like yesterday for eternity. And I wish it were. Yesterday. Because then there would still be time. His hands were shaking. He was so nervous, it was adorable. I don’t mean that in a sense of emasculating him. Truly! It’s a compliment in the highest regard, at least coming from me. I almost said precious, but I feel as if that is even worse. His left hand, several visible calluses already giving me hints at the answers behind such an enigmatic situation, w...
