On a December morning. Ezra's father picked him up from the airport. “No guest with you for Christmas?” His father George asked. “No. I don’t like the girls at my school. All they do is party.” Ezra glanced out the car window at the snowfall. “So we’re gonna pretend you weren’t a party animal your first two years?” George asked. “But I’m a junior now.

“Alone in the Dessert” by Nicholas Driscoll

Submitted to Contest #71

Phineas Franklin Wallinson was very angry, which was not so uncommon, and today he was mad about some flying pies. He held the flier in his knobby, hairy hands and slowly, deliberately tore the paper in half, then wadded it up, got ready to throw it in the trash, thought better of it, unwadded it, tore it up into smaller pieces, then wadded all the smaller pieces together and chucked the shreds into the garbage disposal unit connected to his sink. He savored the sound of the blades chewing up the paper into a pulp. “Pie in the Sky!” Phineas ...

“All in the Mix ” by Stacy Cannon

The sound of wailing sirens woke the two abruptly. Though in separate rooms, in opposite corners of the building, both were equally filled with smoke, causing their eyes and lungs to burn. Through it all they were able to navigate down the staircases and out of the building just as the firemen were entering the bakeries. They guided the two hastily outside, stumbling and coughing. The flashing lights of the fire truck mixed with shimmering Christmas decorations reflecting off of the newly formed ice on the road was mesmerizing.&nb...

It was raining. A lot. “It’s okay, right?” My mother was pacing back and forth, traveling the short space between the wall and the check out desk. “I mean we can just put up tents, right? It's no big deal, we have like, an hour.” My mom wasn’t good with surprises. She likes to have every hour of everyday mapped out. But she had not planned for the Chicago sky to open up and spill out a full inch of rain, on the exact day that our annual Christmas bake off festival was planned. “Yes mom, that's exactly what we’ll do. Good Idea. ...

Trigger warnings: mentions of rape, drugging Goodbye Tomorrow John stood mindlessly complacent, and motionless, like what he used to jokingly call the” bohemian clown” when making jest of his friends whenever in camaraderie. devastated by news of his sack, he leaned helplessly against the desk in his office close to his boss's and demanded repeatedly to know why he had been relieved of his job, the sack letter, there on his desk, peeping through, from the envelop, while John steers intermittently...

Submitted to Contest #71

There he stands behind the table in his booth at the town’s annual holiday festival. Displayed in front of him are his bakery’s greatest accomplishments - cinnamon rolls, over-sized muffins, cookies, and several confections created just for the season. They look absolutely decadent. And so does the man who created them. I know I shouldn’t even be interested in that man, much less attracted to him. But the first day I laid eyes on Shane, my heart knew he was The One. My thoughts and dreams had been filled with a mystery man...
