“Hooked” by Christine Anikpeh

Submitted to Contest #16

He calls, you knew he would, you have just met for the first time at your boss's dinner party and as both your eyes met and held for a second, you get this funny feeling in your stomach, love at first sight maybe, this should be it. You could swear you've seen him somewhere. Maybe on Instagram or somewhere else, but you can't seem to place it. You also feel like you have known him forever, isn’t that how it always starts in the movies? You let your mind wander a bit to your first meeting or rather, the first date, as you let your phone ring ...

Annaline and her friends went backstage to meet the famous dancer. Their hearts were all filled with excitement, making themselves eagerly waiting for the dancer to come onto the backstage.

“At First Sight” by Richa Saran

Submitted to Contest #16

I saw her from across the room and I knew immediately that I was in love.How many times had I heard people around me talk about love at first sight? Sure, it was a time-honored cliche but I never thought it could apply to me. Countless times I watched from the sidelines as my friends and family, one by one, found this type of connection that seemed to consistently avoid me. Not until the moment I saw her did I realize I had allowed myself to settle into the hopeless assumption that not another living soul would ever be able to fill the growi...

“Love at first sight” by V D

Nights at my grandpa’s village are so different than at our house in New Delhi.I like it here at my grandpa’s place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.Nature and man seem to be so close.Grandpa often remarks “Ah! Delhi is such a busy city! why live there at all? Stay with me and grandma.Sarah I promise you won't regret it.” Before I can think of a polite way of refusing him my grandma would reply “Oh! the old man has lost a few of his brain cells and forgets his teenage days when he fought with his father to be sent to Delhi...

“First Impressions” by Hazel Watson

Submitted to Contest #16

It's not a whiff, but a stench. It seeps through the cracks in the wood, through the slight gap between the frame and the door, through the rusted keyhole. I wretch as I step onto the frail porch, the wood is sodden and bends beneath my foot. I cover my mouth with my hand, trying my best to hold down the contents of my stomach as I realise something inside is dead and rotting.I hope it's not Mr. Williams in there. Flashes of a decaying corpse flicker through my mind. I imagine him there, sunken into a coffee-stained armchair, a daytime soap ...

“For the Love of Weetabix” by Deborah Miles

Submitted to Contest #16

Many years ago, I found something out. I found out that if you put two Weetabix into a bowl in just the right way, they make a heart shape. You might think that’s daft. ‘Silly old beggar,’ you might be thinking. ‘What’s that sort of nonsense about?’ That’s the trouble with you young ones. The first thing that doesn’t fit in with how you see things and off it goes, into the bin, dismissed. But get this. This is not your story. It’s mine. Mine and hers. I’m offering you the telling of it but it’s my stor...

“For You I Will” by Lenyasja Breckenridge

Submitted to Contest #16

The city buzzed with the sound of cars zooming, horns honking and laughter. Music played in the distance. The stop light turned red, the signal to cross lit up. People hurried to cross the street before the light switched to green. Natalie was on her way to the office for another mundane day of crunching numbers and annoying co-workers. As she hurried she bumped into a man. "Excuse me!" he screeched as he took a double take. He knocked her purse to the ground. He paused took a glance at the crosswalk light, there was exactly 9 seco...

“Molly” by Unknown User

Submitted to Contest #16

It was almost Christmas of 1993 when our son, a high-school junior, stepped through the kitchen door wearing his letter jacket which was oddly deformed over his chest.“Can we get a dog?”He didn’t wait for an answer, instead unsnapping two buttons of his coat. A tiny black face appeared, its brilliant eyes full of joy and its left ear cocked forward as if awaiting our decision. Until that very instant my response would have been an unequivocal, firm “NO!”Instead, our son saw his chance and moved that three-pound pup from his jacket ...

“Crush” by Lisa Massimilla

Submitted to Contest #16

When I started my sophomore year in a new high school, I was sure it would be epically bad. Besides being the new guy in town with no friends and no social status, I also had to hide the fact that I was gay. Now, I'm not saying I had it easy back in my old neighborhood because I didn't. Being sixteen and gay is very hard and at times very scary and lonely. Especially, when you haven't come out of the closet to anyone except your two best friends who you've known since kindergarten. Around them, I could relax and act normal and not worry abou...

Three years ago, Deja tried a dating site called Love Birds. Deja is in her late 20s, 5'7, light skin caramel complexion with brown almond-shaped eyes with full lips. She was tired of being single because all of her friends are married and some already started a family. Deja has been on blind dates her friends hooked her up on and she didn't like any of them. She felt they weren't the ones. So she signed up on Love Birds and see where it goes. She started creating her profile. In her description, she was looking for someone who was old schoo...

“Letting Go” by Tammy Anderson

Submitted to Contest #16

Once upon a time, a bird fell in love with a balloon. Now, while this sounds like it would be a funny story, it isn’t. This is a sad story - at least at first. Unrequited love is always sad... He was a very handsome bird, with glossy black feathers and bright black eyes, and he had a charming way of flitting the tips of his wings when he landed on a tree branch that made all of the lady birds sigh. He knew that he was a very special bird with a fantastic future ahead of him, full of grand adventures and heroic deeds; a bird as han...

Diamond lifts up the pile of heavy boxes, it is obstructing her view, yet it doesn't truly bother her, since she easily memorized the path and it's not a long-distance anyways, just to the main hallway.Diamond isn't disturbed by the weight of the boxes, it's quite alright, nonetheless her wrist does not seem to be on the same page with her, the strain of the weight appearing to put unnecessary pressure on it and triggering the minor irritation in the injured area; that results in her arm beginning to tremble slightly and for the boxes to wob...

“Grocery Shopping” by Hailie Durante

Submitted to Contest #16

Goosebumps erupted from my skin as I walked down the dairy section of Food Lion. My dark hair hung wet and limp down my back, telling the world I just showered. My mother had asked me to grab a gallon of milk before heading to volleyball practice. Grabbing a random gallon, I headed towards the front to check out. Eyes glued to my iphone screen, I smacked the milk onto the counter. "Is that all today?" A deep, monotone voice asked. I simply nodded, sending a random meme to my team's group chat. For a minute, I continued to text my friends,...

“Love at first sight” by Brylee Palmer

Submitted to Contest #16

Love at first sight I have always wished for love at first sight. I have never felt love. My name is Brooklyn Payce. I am eighteen, and all I want is to feel a zing of love when I look at someone. I love my family, but that’s way different. I just want to at least have a crush on someone that likes me. I am kind of a freak though. I'll have a crush on someone, but then when they start to like me, I automatically pull away. I guess I just want what I can’t have? There was this one guy though. Layton Brown. He was quite a catch. I was vi...

“Just a Damsel in Distress” by Margo Harris

Submitted to Contest #16

You used to be my everything, though to you I was nothing at all. I was just another girl living in her own fantasy world. The world in which you were the king and I was the queen. Together we would have ruled our kingdom in the woods, away from it all. But it was just a dream that should be forgotten, yet it will forever be the scene keeping my imagination alive. You were the perfect guy. Everyone was in love with you, but no one loved you as much as me. I spent years of my life watching your every move, waiting for you to suddenly realiz...
