They Lied

The woman blinked a few times and sleepily rubbed her eyes. She sat up and took a moment to fully come awake. These night time awakenings were happening more and more lately, as the current situation unfolded. She looked down at the grey metal disc, about the size of a dime, that was embedded in the skin on the inside of her left wrist and sighed heavily. She gently tapped the disc twice, stared towards the blank wall, and un-focused her eyes, (similar to the way people used to view an autosterogram, or what were known as “magic eye” picture...

Misty's Mirror

Weekly Contest #225

Misty was feeling just a smidge guilty. She had just purchased the most beautiful antique mirror she had ever seen. Even to her untrained eye, she knew it must be worth far more than what she had paid, likely at least two or three times the amount. But she also knew she definitely couldn’t afford more. That was why, when she had asked the pleasant elderly gentleman running the obscure shop about the mirror’s value, and in response he had shrugged and said, “I don’t know, what is it worth to you?”, she couldn’t help but name exactly what she...

Dear Orlando,I was so happy to see you again on the street today - I wish we’d had time to pause for a visit, even a short conversation of meaningless small-talk and a quick peck on the cheek or touch on the hand, but I could tell right away how busy you were.

Beautiful Stranger

Weekly Contest #199

I make a conscious effort to correct my posture and lift my feet, although I am weary to my bones and it is just so hard. But I know my mother sees me. I keep that knowledge to myself, because I also know that not everyone agrees with that line of thinking. Still, I know my mother sees me, so I do my best to walk with my head up and my back straight and to not drag my feet as I walk along. I also know my mother loved me, and I loved her, so every day I try to remember to be the person she thought I was.This has been the longest day ever. I k...

Jane's Escape

Weekly Contest #197

“Well, fuck you in the eye with a skewer then,” Jane quietly muttered. Whether her comment was heard or not wasn’t totally apparent, but the conversation continued. “I’m just reminding you that it’s always been this way. Every being has a purpose and this is yours. We all have to come to terms with our lot in life, although you do seem to have more trouble than most accepting this.” The priestess looked at Jane for what seemed like a long time, and then when there was no response, she went on. “You can call it Fate, or Destiny, or whatever y...
