“Teenage Love” by Sheryl Saldivar

Submitted to Contest #16

I was fifteen years old when I first met him. My older sister had a friend whose younger brother had just arrived in town and was going out and applying for jobs and needed a haircut. Now this was in the '70's long before the internet and and you apply online for jobs, back then you went in to a business and asked for an application and filled it out there on site and you may or may not get an interview there and then, but I digress, my sister asked my dad if he could cut his hair for him, my dad was pretty good with the scissors, and he agr...

“Behind The Curtains” by Merissa Khan

Submitted to Contest #16

He ruffled his hair, brushing it to the side. The pink tips he had dyed yesterday made his soft, tan skin stand out. His green eyes sparkled in the lamp light by his mirror. "Alright I'm done" Cam stated. "Alright, come on, we don't want to be late to the show" Rachel urged, grabbing his hand. She dragged him down the polished wooden stair case of his house and out the front door. The autumn air hit them as soon as they stepped foot onto the front porch. The sky was starting to dim, as Rachel unlocked her car. They both got in...

“Never Alone” by Joseph McGrory

Submitted to Contest #16

Do you believe in love at first sight? A corny pickup line or a deep searing question? Most people don’t know if the really do believe. They take a long, hard look at their partner and whisper a ‘yes’ dripping with honey. Do they really believe themselves though? Was it really first sight? I always had an answer though, an answer I really believed in.YesI remember the day, the hour, the minute. I recall every detail of the surroundings and how he looked. The smell of the cinnamon in the air which was full of dust mites spinning in the beam o...

“The Darkness” by Alicia Hemmings

Submitted to Contest #16

The Darkness This isn’t your standard love story. This story is filled with heartache and depression and feeling broken. But I guess all the best love stories contain some heartbreak.You found me when I was in a dark place. A place that I was in so deep that I couldn’t see myself ever leaving. There was no silver lining or light at the end of the tunnel for me. The darkness had consumed me. Filling me to the brim and ripping all happiness entirely from my being.I was drunk and alone. Picking fights with people I barely knew just t...

“Under a Rose Moon” by Jake Tillett

Submitted to Contest #16

Once in a Rose Moon the universe aligns and allows a pair of beings to connect on a cosmic level. People often call this phenomenon “LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT,” but this statement is so over-used that everyone from king to consort thinks they’ve experienced it. That is simply not true. A “rose” moon, as the folks of Briarton know, is not the moon celebrated yearly with the garish celebrations of the outside world. Though, these royal festivities are quite enjoyable they simply cannot capture the true meaning of the Rose Moon’s love. This love is o...

Is love at first sight real? Autumn didn't believe in love at first sight or well she didn't until an event changed her entire life. She was attending a local concert nothing really special, but some of the bands were truly talented. The last band of the night was just about to play as she had made my way to the front of the stage to get a better view as well as sound of the band. The lights dimmed and they made their way onto the stage, when the lights came up everyone was chanting the bands name and clapping. She closed her eyes in o...

“The one? ” by Hannah Osorio

Submitted to Contest #16

He woke up to his alarm at 8 am. He laid in bed slowly allowing the sun to creep up over his windowsill. Mustering the will to get out of bed, he jumped up and began to get dressed. Now usually, he would make himself a small breakfast and coffee, but there was something in the air that made him want an adventure. So, he put on his jacket and marched down the street. He was hungry though. He stopped at the local cafe. He knew the place well, every Sunday morning he would stop in. He knew the staff and they knew him. But this was a Friday, he ...

As he walked toward his friend’s room, he passed a room in which there was a young woman about twenty-five sitting on her bed looking down at her folded hands.

"Who's there?"“Hi. My name's Pete Cummings. ...

“Never look back” by Sarah Rogers

Submitted to Contest #16

There was something strange about him. When I tried to look him in the eye he faltered back into the shadows of the trees. His eyes were like pure pools reflecting a silver full moon. His hands shot forward holding out the soccer ball I had kicked into the woods. His hands briefly brushed mine and sent a warm feeling through me. “Madeline!” A girl shouted from up the hill, “Hurry up!“ &nbs...

“The Sign” by Abhik Dasgupta

He had got up early at dawn..could hardly bat his eyelids the other night, such excited he was. He had silently tiptoed into the freezing cold outside, holding the easel to his chest and tucking the sketch pencils carefully inside his jacket. His mother did not have the slightest clue about his son's intentions otherwise she'd have never allowed him to brave outside in the cold, without making sure that he wrapped himself from head to toes in warm clothes.When he came and sat at the spot he had chosen the other day they arrived at the Guest ...

“October 25th” by Kellin Hess

Submitted to Contest #16

Autumn leaves came falling down from the trees. Few green remained on the trees on the twenty-fifth morning of October. The world was turning orange, reflecting off of the windows on the homes resting on Madding Lane. Victorian homes, most likely hiding a neglectful father and spoiled children. Deborah Jones strolled down this very road, heading to a cul de sac with few homes, near the greaser trailer park. It was 1952, and Deborah, or Debby, was 15. It was typical of girls her age to have a romantic partner sweeping them off their feet, or ...
