“Third Coffee Lucky” by Cather Meldr

Submitted to Contest #56

Carrie watched the handsome stranger close the door slowly and quietly, as if not wanting to draw attention to himself. Turning now toward her, he smiled the most pleasant of smiles. He was looking right into her eyes, and for a reason, unknown to her at that specific moment, she blushed. That smile, she thought, would melt the frozen heart of the ice queen . “What’ll it be”, she directed at the handsome stranger as she lifted the coffee cup from the tray of clean dishes fresh from the washer. He smiled again, and a butterfly somewhere ...

Write a story about two people meeting during unusual circumstances and becoming fast friends. CUTIE PIE “The funeral had been small, and peace-filled. Hannah and Tom had chosen a beautiful little plot close to the trees and honeysuckle,” Eve thought as she got into her car. Normally, the CD player was the first thing she turned on after the ignition. But today, she decided to drive home quietly. Eve’s mind wandered to that day five years ago when she h...

Heart pounding, excitement arising. I was also pissed at the same time as my good night sleep interrupted by a phone call not even the alarm.She had never called and I never thought she would. "Hello Clay how are you doing?"she greeted. Her voice was the type of voice that would leave your heart melting, her smile the most beautiful of all and her character worth admiring . "I was asking if maybe we can grab some ice cream.My girlfriends are away and I'm that girl who doesn't love being alone. You coming?"she asked.What would I be if I turne...

“RUN” by Audrey Zimmer

Submitted to Contest #56

The footsteps pounded around me as I jogged around the gym. Mundane assignments like this given to us by our gym teacher who never left his chair in the corner was one of the reasons I hated school. I dreaded this hour but was grateful that it was my last of the day. The sound of the blaring whistle knocked me out of my trance as he signaled that it was time to change back into our uniforms. The starch white shirt contrasted violently with my green tie and matching skirt. It made me cringe from how bright it was. I swear this thing ...

“The Lagos Dream ” by Celeste EverNever

Submitted to Contest #56

Ifeoma ran towards the direction of the slimy bathroom that she shared with ten other tenants. The time was 5:30am. She could hear the call to prayer from the mosque situated just behind her compound. She adjusted her wrapper as she made her way to the backyard. The morning air was cold, as cold as the chilled can of beer Ifeoma had every evening after a long day at work. She took in the cold, because she knew that it would soon be replaced by the sweltering heat of the sun. The area was dark, save for the dim reflection from the tiny bulb i...

“Master Thief...Big Ass Included” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #56

Trigger warning: sexual assault Out of all my burglary experiences, I’ve encountered many obstacles. Strange and not. They’ve involved anywhere from angry dogs to occupants to Home-Alone-style traps. One time, I even ran across another burglar. Out of all the strange situations I’ve encountered, none of them ever involved a window. A goddamn window. Yeah, I got my ass stuck in a window. Some master thief I am. I was just crawling into the window to get inside and start my raid, and I got stuck halfway through. So now, my b...

“To the Lug Nuts!” by Anna Kerr

Submitted to Contest #56

Addison let out a slow breath, taking in the fresh air around here. Vacation was coming to a close, and a faster pacer than she would have liked. Getting to the cottage these days was uneasy, and any time spent was considered to be a blessing. On her morning walks, she never encountered anyone, not that she went particularly early, or anything. Often it would be nine, or ten a.m., and depending on the day, she would go for a light jog, or a long walk; today she opted for the walk, having gone for a light jog the previous two days. Toda...

“16 and 24” by Lauren Brown

Submitted to Contest #56

I still remember the first time I saw him. I was in his apartment. I was somewhat dating his roommate, and it was my first time at his place. I was sitting on the couch. He came from behind me. “My girlfriend gets me flowers, and all I have a is a beer bottle to put it in” he joked. He had thick black kinky hair, sharp facial features, scrawny. I instantly fell for his loud objectionable laugh. It's a funky phenomenon, isn’t it? Love at first sight. But I felt it. I felt it with him. He was wearing a Cosby like ...

“My Bodacious Girlfriend From Outer Space” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #56

It was the end of the frinkin’ world; Armageddon, The Big Ka-Boom, World War I-I-I, you get me? You get me. Imagine your life as a freakin’ Micheal Bay movie. High power explosions everywhere, buildings crashing to the ground, bullets, and missiles practically falling from the sky and aliens invading the planet. Oh, yeah, aliens are totally real, bro. I already knew of their existence when I was like 14 or so. My cousin knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy’s uncle, who got abducted by aliens. Since then, I was a believer in the little, g...

“Rocky Relationships” by Caden Gallagher

Submitted to Contest #56

I continued down the path, being sure to dodge the branches and stones. The group leader happily bounced between large stones on the side of the trail, leading the way forward. Fourteen other people were in the group, each had a backpack filled with gear and a walking stick. They were on a long hike across the Rocky Mountains, trying to enjoy the view below them. Almost everyone had been going for about three days at this point and almost everyone regretted it because they were all tired. We were supposed to be at a log cabin enjoying a Chri...

“When Jess Met Sarah” by Jordan Wright

Submitted to Contest #56

“I have to pee!” I called to my mum as I ran to the public bathrooms at the park. “Remember to lock the door, sweetie,” she called to me as I ran. I waved my hand behind me, letting her know that I'd heard her. I was twelve, of course I’d remember to lock the door. Running into the stall, the door slammed shut but the lock wouldn’t turn. “Dammit!” I called, sitting down, and holding the door shut with my hand. Finishing, I let go of the door to button up my jeans. A spit second later it flew open and another girl about my age came running i...

“There it is!” Jo squealed, through gritted teeth. She had always wanted to see the wizard train and there it was. Being the first to arrive at the viewing point, she had become more and more irritated as more families turned up, blocking her view so she had to move several times. Small children bounced up and down on their toes in eagerness to see the beautiful steam train, it's shiny red carriages and black polished chimney. Jo secretly pleased to be able to share the experience with them. A whistle sounded some di...

January 27, 1918357 Kilometers east of Paris, France.The night was cold and wet, rain had fallen for 3 straight days and showed no signs of letting up now. Pockets of gunfire echoed through the woods, punctuated by seemingly random artillery shells.Corporal Georges McKay moved from tree to tree, careful to watch his footing as well as his surroundings. He pulled the Remington shotgun he carried tighter into his shoulder and took a moment to catch his breath.Georges had gotten separated from his platoon during the battle and lost his way in t...

“Introductions” by Joe Sweeney

Submitted to Contest #56

Jade straddled the bike and took a moment to familiarize herself with all the gadgets. She’d never had a bike like this before. Speedometer, odometer, head and tail lights, turn signals - the works. The seat and handlebars adjusted easily to fit her short body. “Hey.” Jade looked up, startled. A young man with dark skin was standing beside her. “Sorry,” he said. “Didn’t mean to scare you. My name’s Gregg.” “Jade.” “Nice to meet you,” Gregg said with a wide smile. “Hey, I heard you chanting something. Can I ask what it was?” “It’s...

“Their Fathers” by Rawn A Lynn

Wager sits in the back of the taxi. She looks at the letter in her hand again. Though she had gone over the contents many times, she is still far from understanding them. To my flesh and blood, I’m gone. I know there’s no point in apologizing for my sudden disappearance so I won’t. I’m not dead, but I’m going on my last assignment. I left everything to you. Money has been placed into your account too. Use this to start over or something. You followed me and made me proud. You are one of the rarities of happiness I have had in my life. Be s...
