Patti and Beth Closure

Weekly Contest #298

The door flew open to the morgue, and a shadowy figure highlighted the entranceway. Her vivacious and curvy body made quite an entrance. Patti looked up and immediately knew it was Beth, Beth Sparks. Beth held the doors open wide. Patti muttered, "Of all the people, why did it have to be her?" Standing next to Patti, Mary said," Of all the gin joints, why did she have to come to mine?" Mary's smile was as wide as the open doors. Mary was the technician on duty in the morgue.Beth slowly strolls in, headed towards Mary and Patti. Beth's long b...

It's Not My Fault

As I sat in my little confined space, I was reflecting back to the beginning. Why is it that something is always against me? It’s funny how you look back and see all the red flags. But to be honest, I really didn’t want to see the truth. Was it really me? I kept telling myself it’s not you, it's them. I didn’t want to accept the truth; at least that’s what I kept telling myself. I paused as I saw a black rat run in between the bars. Why would even a rat want to be in jail? At least the rat was free; he could come and go as he pleased, unlike...

Standing in line at the Post Office

He was 6’2, had hazel eyes, washboard abs, and a regular six-pack.  legs that looked like a tree trunk.  He wore a T-shirt that enhanced his biceps.  The fabric of that shirt could not restrain his muscles.  There was a smile that said, ‘Anytime.’  I was immediately hooked.  I tried not to notice him as I waited in line, but of course, the line was not moving.  It’s the Post Office, so getting out of there any time soon was hopeful, at best.  And that is why I brought a book to read while standing in l...

After the dust settles

Weekly Contest #202

The fan blew the dust off the old photo album down in the basement.  Chad sat next to Brittany, they were reliving memories of high school, as they looked through the photo album. Those pictures seem like so long ago, as the dust settles on the old worn-out beige loveseat.  Chad and Brittany found it a real treasure to relieve those old memories.  And high school seems so long ago. But in that moment, down in the basement.  Time stood still as two friends walk down memory lane.  Each hoped they would find common grou...

Nine-Thirty on a Rainy Tuesday

Weekly Contest #112

On A Rainy Tuesday As I was leaving the bar downtown on a rainy Tuesday.  When I got to my car I checked the dashboard and saw the time was 9:30 pm.  It wasn’t as late as I thought, and so I smiled.  As the rain poured down onto my windshield, obstructing my view I slowed down my speed so I wouldn’t hit anything.  No one should have been on the road, but it didn’t matter, I had to be cautious just in case.  I reflected back to early in the evening.  Hanging out at the bar with a few friends from work...
