“Settle” by LeighAnne Ferreol

Submitted to Contest #50

Liam stared down at his spaghetti. He shoved the noodles around with his fork. They were good enough, he just didn’t have much of an appetite. He knew the reason why. “Is it okay?” Danny asked. Liam looked up at him and forced a smile. “It’s great, Babe. I’m just not very hungry.” “Are you sick?” Danny said, leaning across the table to feel Liam’s forehead. Liam brushed his hand away gently. “No, no. I’m just not very hungry. I promise.” Danny still seemed a little worried, but he nodded and went back to eating. Liam looked down at his ...

“He Loves Me” by Breona Willis

Submitted to Contest #50

Marisol had known Ezio pretty much since they were babies. They grew up together, fell in love with each other. High School sweethearts. Different colleges didn't stop them from pursuing one another. After college, they reunited and moved in together. Marisol had one day mused a "screw you" to the traditional ways of the marriage proposal, and took matters into her own hands. But she had to have it planned out. And so she waited. A month to be exact. She wanted to be ready. She thought of all the reasons she loved this man: he showed her his...

“I propose.....” by Sambulo Kunene

Submitted to Contest #50

I walked barefoot not recognizing who I was. I lived in a small apartment in the corner of Rose Avenue and Greenville Road. A famous road where one morning we all woke up and found a dead body sprawled on the middle of the road. We all were in shock and we did not know whose body it was. Guilty or not guilty, we walked over the small crowd which had gathered around our street trying to put the pieces of the the mystrey together. He was not a homeless lost soul. He was not too old or malnourished. He looked like he belonged to someone. I had ...

“New Year's Proposal” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #50

I took a sip from the crimson liquid and sighed happily. Though the metallic taste did take a bit getting used to, this stuff was definitely something to die for. I set my glass down and glanced at the television. The reporter was babbling on and on about some celebrity performance, something I couldn’t care less about. What I was interested in was the tiny box in the lower left corner of the screen--the countdown until the New Year. There were just five minutes left. I turned to the right, where Drew sat, currently unconscious. Not f...

“The Eastern Knoll” by Scott Doran

Submitted to Contest #50

Everything about me has been defined by two marriage proposals.The latter of the two was to Marjorie Kent, née Waldron with whom I have trudged through fifty-eight years of a shared life of mediocrity, banality, predictability and relentless disappointment. Together, we have raised four tolerable though unexceptional children (Theodore, Thomas, James, and Vanessa) who have in their trifling ways provided minimal gaps in the inexorable trivialities and monotony of our family’s existence together. Some of them have been p...

“What a proposal ?” by Syeda Iram

Submitted to Contest #50

It was around 1’o clock in the night and I was winding up my household chores. After winding up everything I went to my son’s room to check whether he is sleeping or still playing games. After that I took a glass of milk for my husband. But when I entered in the room I found that he already slept. So I came downstairs again to keep that milk back in refrigerator. Then I slept by 2. Then a new day awakes me with tons of responsibilities of my family as well as my office, and giving best in every field is my habit. After sending my...

“Deadly Proposal ” by Daniella Idogho

Submitted to Contest #50

I knew that my woman will love me. I had to find a wonderful way to propose to her. But seeing her come out of My father’s mansion into the court yard to where our wedding was to take place, made me feel complete. Her blonde hair blew in the wind, her blue eyes set like the sky. Now there was an art in everything I do. I was a play boy and could get any thing I wanted as easy as ABC. But love was an enigma. Alice would be the one for me the partner in a law firm, alumni of Yale, play boy and a member of richest families in America...

“Saturday, October 12” by Josh Clingman

Submitted to Contest #50

Today was the day. Saturday, October 12. The day we'd met.Normally, we'd have coffee at 10:30 on Saturdays. But not today.The crisp morning air felt wonderful as I hurried along the sidewalk, bypassing pedestrians, restaurants, and stores. The cold autumn breeze stung my cheeks with its icy caresses, but I paid it no heed. Today was the day, and I couldn't wait for it to begin.At least, I was kind of excited. Part of me was also nervous. Anxious, maybe? Ecstatic as well.It was hard to explain. I'd looked forward to this day for so long, and ...

“So many questions” by Tina Gayanes

Submitted to Contest #50

My chest went heavy, full of joy, excitement and even worries upon hearing those words from him. What would my life be with him? That's what comes first to my mind. Then I started to imagine a happy family. I can see myself standing looking at the kids running around while a wide smile is painted on my face. Then I saw him doing some woodwork, he sweating but still looking so brusque and handsome. I blinked my eyes and came back to my senses. I asked myself, are you ...

“The social circle ” by Shennel Warn

Jenny drew in a breath of envy as she surveyed the ring on Laura Piper's finger. She was the fifth social media influencer to get engaged this month. Jenny enlarged the photo with her thumb and pointer finger, taking in the details of the perfectly cut almond-shaped diamond. She averted her gaze to the caption. It read, I said yes! Jenny swallowed hard, her eyes dropping on the growing likes and comments. Every day a new person seemed to be getting engaged, yet, here she was, still waiting for the ring that f...

"Aryan, wake up!” she screamed, slapping the unconscious, battered and bleeding boy lying in front of her. “Open your eyes! Please! “She yelled again. No response. He remained out cold. Sara wiped her face and looked up at the horizon. Sun was sinking, darkness was on its way bringing out the dangers of the forest. She had to move fast. She looked helplessly at Aryan and had a brain wave. **************************** Sara was orphaned when she was just eleven. Her elder brother, took ...
