“Blonde Locks, Kneepads, and a Band-Aid to the Heart” by Sarah B

Submitted to Contest #50

A cackle erupts from the back of my throat. The air escapes my lungs as I laugh louder than I have ever laughed before.“Charlie, Charlie I’m sorry! I can’t breathe!” I shriek.“Sorry for what Grace?”“I- I” gasping, I continue “I'm sorry I called you Char- Charlotte”A smug grin dances onto Charlie’s face as she slowly starts to crawl off me and settles next to me, stretching her arm out, so I can place my head in the nook of her armpit. She wraps a leg around me and pulls me closer.I missed seeing her like this. You know, carefree. Recently so...

“Eyes Closed” by Talitha Schroth

Submitted to Contest #50

Your eyes close and your breathing picks up. The cold nips at your nose and you automatically turn your face into your scarf, burying it into the folds of fabric to protect it from the chill. The arm through yours tightens, and he speaks up. "You okay?" you look up into those eyes that have been your entire world for the last four years. They've been with you through every bad day and every good day. Through every celebration and disappointment. Through every fight and every makeup. You smile. "I'm fine. I jus...

“Love you baby” by Sunira Pradhan

Submitted to Contest #50

A couple on their way to the supermarket. He starts a conversation with his girlfriend. He: Baby let’s get married. What about tomorrow? Or we can go today and start working on what we need to do to get married. Hmmm, what do you think baby? She: Hahahaha, seriously you want to get married like tomorrow. Don’t you think its too early? What’s so rush baby? He: Well does that mean you don’t want to be with me. She: LOL. Baby, why would you even think like that. Just saying that it feels kind of early. I have already made up my mind to...

“What is love?” by Maria-Ioana Andrei

Submitted to Contest #50

What is love? Love is this bold, genuine, and pure feeling that I will never be able to express through words. Love is what keeps us going, it represents our motivation to pursue our dreams and to follow our hearts. To have the propensity to love is one of the most valuable powers you can be gifted with because ultimately, love is what brings us together as human beings. Love is when your happiness becomes your significant other's happiness or when you're never to busy for your other half. It is that unspeakable feeling you encounter ...

“The Boozy Love Affair” by Amulya Cherukumudi

Submitted to Contest #50

"Finish my drink, would you?" he said as he settled in for the night. He could tolerate his alcohol very well, but not after a meal. I made sure my man had the best meal, against his wishes, just to see him satiated. He is not the most expressive, but he certainly is a good man. Sometimes I just see myself looking at him, wondering how I got so lucky. "What are you doing?" he bellows, as he walks towards me, bringing me swiftly back to reality. I cannot help but smile, as this rugged and handsome man holds me close to him. It then struck me ...

“Never volunteer to clean wells.” by Jane Syphert

Submitted to Contest #50

Erik was sitting at the edge of the well, looking into its waters. He had followed the voice to a small town, even though it had killed most of his party. He stared at the statue adorned on the top of the well. She was beautiful. He wished he could trade places with her."Excuse me, young man, do you mind helping me?" An elderly woman stood near the edge of the well with a bucket of sudsy water and a grim expression. "Princess Christina is coming to help in a while, but I don't know what I can do in that time.""Uh, sure. Always happy to help....

“Time of need” by Charles Wasilausky

Submitted to Contest #50

Once, there lived a poor farmer. He was happy doing his work, and he got satisfaction knowing that he was making a difference in the lives of the village. He provided all the produce that he grew. The only trouble was, he didn't have any help and the work was getting to be too much for him. One Day, while he was working out in the field, he had a dizzy spell and collapsed on the ground. A moment later, one young man came by, hoping to help load up the truck and saw the farmer out cold. This young man called the ambulance which took the farme...

“A Note in Time ” by Brittany Smith

Submitted to Contest #50

Clammy hands-check Stifling hot leading yanking on the collar of my freshly pressed dress shirt-check A marching bland playing in my head-check A circus performer on trapize in my stomach-check Yep, it must be official, I'm about to propose. I picture the look on Jason's face when I broke the news last month while we were watching the Indians crush the Braves: 4-0. Jason was devestated since Ruiz just missed celebrating a no-hitter. I was too nervous to really care. Between nachos and stale beer, I blurted out, "I'm going to propose t...

“The Proposal” by Jack Askhim

Submitted to Contest #50

It was a nice day except for the constant sound of the bombardment. Two sergeants run with heads hung low hanging on to their helmets. They run past the major generals’ tent. “Sergeant”! The major general’s head appeared out of his tent. Both men turn to address the general. They salute. “Sir”, they say in unison. The general addresses the older of the two men. An overweight mid-thirties cliché. “Was I talking to You”? “Sir, I – No sir.” “Then why are you still here?” A shell explodes nearby. The general stands tall but the sergean...

“Syrup” by Saad Masud

Submitted to Contest #50

The metallic, clanging noise coming from the briefcase was drawing more than a little attention the way Frank swung it around. It was the same one he received for twenty-five solid years of dedication to a company he hated. Walking up to the house, the smell of pancakes and maple syrup wafted under the door and reminded him that he hadn’t eaten breakfast again for the third day in a row. Judging by the arc of his swing, it looked like he was aiming the case towards the roof as he strode up to Eleanor’s bright pink house, but the hesitation o...

“A Dream Proposal Came True.” by Nusrath Irfanah Mohd Liaqat Ali Khan

Submitted to Contest #50

“I’m sorry miss but we have done the best we can but, it seems that you’ve lost your ability to walk”. Those were the last words I heard from Doctor Robert 7 months ago. It was still fresh in my memory. Now everything the doctor once said is proven to be wrong because I have made a lot of improvements from the first day of my diagnosis. I was involved in a car crash earlier this year and lost the ability to walk. I moved around on a freaking wheelchair for almost three months. Those were the dreadful months I have been through but with Arrya...

“No protocols, no rules. ” by Jonathan Abioye

Submitted to Contest #50

"You are to me many things in one and the one person out of the many..." Bad start! Has potential though, maybe in the middle. "You remind me of my mother whenever you smile ..." Horrible... "There are a few things that have actually made me stutter with loss of words. Fewer still the people that have stopped me dead in my tracks..." Slightly better, progress. I nodded my head in approval of the words I had managed to scribble so far, as I still chewed upon the end of my pen groping around for the best words I could string ...

“When Roses Wither” by Dainea Jules

Submitted to Contest #50

Golden light from the few candles around the room wavered on the wall and danced with the reflection of the silvery-blue moonlight. The heavy brown curtains grazed the ground softly as the wind trickled in to engulf the lone writer at his desk. His left eye twitched in irritation. He was a very irritable man. Haynes thought that writing was humdrum, but could not stop his fingers from dancing across the keys portraying a writer's feelings. His eyes fixated on the paper in front of his hardened face, and his eyebrows drew together as his ...

“Rocket Science” by Chi N Kah

Submitted to Contest #50

I look up again and try to collect my thoughts. The server is steadily losing her battle to hide her smirk. I don't blame her, choosing a meal in this place cannot be rocket science. There are basically two food groups, chicken and burgers and this place is not known for the latter. But instead of deciding if I should get my meal with chips or with pap my mind is swinging between wondering if I remembered to wipe the cornices or if I chose the right outfit. I know this is my Sunday best but I can't help going over my wardrobe again wondering...
