“The Proposal” by UJJWAL DUTTA

Submitted to Contest #50

Trilochan, aged 55, is a highly respected school teacher in his village. His knowledge and his commitment to his service earned him a position of authority among the educated section of the village. He derives the greatest pleasure out of teaching. The future of the students is his first priority. Yet, it would be wrong to say that he neglects his family. Rather, it would be more proper to say that he manages both his profession and his family competently. He believes in the principles of hard work and hone...

“Even if you're not the one” by Adah M.M

Submitted to Contest #50

There are so many things wrong with the world, from the government, to the economy, to the pandemic that was currently trying to eliminate half of the world's population, to his neighbor; the sixty nine year old woman who always nagged him when he threw his thrash in her bin, he doesn't get her problem. All in all, nothing was okay, he hadn't been working for almost three months, it was by grace that he hadn't been kicked out of his house, he doesn't even know how he was going to feed the next month, he had bills pilling up, whenever he saw ...

“Marriage Fever.” by Peace Nakiyemba

Submitted to Contest #50

Today is the day! I know it is. I also know that I’ve said this every two weeks when it’s his turn to plan our date night but there is something different about today. It doesn’t matter that there are no roses littered around our table when we walk up to it, his cologne is intoxicating enough and I’m sure the two of us add enough colour to the scenery. There are no candles on the table either but again, that doesn’t matter since the view of the city lights do the twinkling just fine. No minstrel to serenade us but that’s just me looking...

“The Pond” by Parvathy Sabapathy

Submitted to Contest #50

After 10 years and having travelled 13,800 kilometres in the last 24 hours, I am once again sitting on the stair next to the pond. The pond is still. Puffed rice strewn by the visitors’ float on its surface - - food for the fishes that have made this pond their home. A lone fish somersaults out of the water and dives back in, creating concentric circular ripples that travel outward from the centre.I am caught on the last ripple of despair and dejection that travels further outwards.The fish emerges again somersaulting, this time grabbin...

(Write a story about a proposal.)George sits on the old wooden front steps of the house in which he grew up. He is waiting for the best part of everyday. He is waiting to see Gladys open the curtains or drapes of her dining room windows. If today is like every day for years and years, she will wave to him and then disappear into her home to do whatever needs doing that day. The wave is his signal that his day can begin too so he gets up and goes into breakfast.~~~~~George remembers the first time he really noticed Gl...

“As planned” by Vincent Guillemin

Submitted to Contest #50

Champagne would have given it away so I have decided on one of those cheap bottles of chardonnay we like to down on summer evenings just like this one. The sun lingers on at the crest of buildings bathing the park in a warm and damp orange hue. It glistens on the wavelets of the lake ,roiled with the oars of lovers rowing this way and that. A couple of swans gently drifts together , going with the flow. Hungry ducks are expectantly waiting for the checkered tablecloths to be spread around the damp and still warm grass. Families, youths , eld...

She wore a pair of dull silver colour slippers and silver jewellery to match.Her make up was light, with a hint of blush and a light shade of pink lipstick to accentuate her simple features. She decided to wear her hair in a bun complete with a fresh fragrant Araliya flower which she had picked that morning from the garden.She smiled at herself through the mirror pleased with her effort. She wa...

“My Proposal” by Estelle Westley

Submitted to Contest #50

Lacy looked much older than what she was. In fact, she felt much older than what she was. What had happened these eighteen years for everything to be so drastically different now. When Robert had asked to marry me all those years ago, I was on cloud nine. There were great expectations of the life ahead with wonderful dreams. A house where Robert would come home to each evening. Two rosy cheeked kids - one girl and one boy of course - laughing and running to their Daddy who embraced them and showered them with kisses. The aroma of a fine di...

“Epitome of Love” by Veda Keda

Submitted to Contest #50

Leo was the epitome of happiness that morning. It was his fifth anniversary with the girl of his dreams. He didn’t regret the first thing he ever said to her; it was the reason they were so far into this relationship. “I love you,” he recalled himself saying this as she could only stare and gawk at him. She was a fan at the time, and now she was his lover. Leo swore he could feel his heart skip a beat as he tied his shoelaces while thinking about her. Kelly, his one and only; he was excited for the day he planned out with her. Naturally,...

“lovers rock” by Masha Kurbatova

Submitted to Contest #50

It was one of those rare mornings when everything was perfect. Morning light, cold and white, shone through the blinds, casting bright and wide strips on his skin and mine. I didn’t usually wake up before him. I didn’t see the point - I wasn’t a person who knew what to do with an early morning. That day too, I decided to stay in bed. Just look around. There wasn’t much in the bedroom, white walls, a dresser, no decor. Still, I hardly ever go to look at it all in such detail. Usually I was rushing out of bed, stumbling on one foot as I tried ...

In 2010 year, I passed the Matriculation examination in high first division. I got admission to Government College, Our claases were to start on 5th july. I put on new clothes and went to college early in the morning. Some senior students were already there. They made us stand in a line and march. They ordered us to sing songs and dance. They passed ridiculous remarks on us. They stamped us as “420, Bear me, or Fool”. After getting rid of them, I went to the notice board to note the timetable. Our first period was that of English. It was t...
