Weekly Contest #303
The year was 2045 and twenty years had passed since that ineffable night in Marfa, Texas. Marfa, a former ranching community set in a desert town alongside a World War II Army airfield, was mostly known for The Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum dedicated to large-scale installation art. There wasn't an immediate connection when Nadine met Randall. It was the unexplainable pull of the phenomena known as The Marfa Lights and his knowledge of the stars that drew her towards him. Randall brought Nadine a scalding cup of hibiscu...
Weekly Contest #302
TW: mention of dementiaThe unincorporated town of Pray, Montana, lies within the Paradise Valley against the backdrop of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. The town itself is a small collection of weathered buildings along Highway 89 that look like an old Western movie set where John Wayne might have downed a pint of lager as crisp as the mountain air.

Weekly Contest #301

She insists on staying at The Old Creek Lodge, even though Peggy's place is "cute," it's "iconic". I suspect Peggy's place is a shithole but it's free. It probably looks like my apartment. Valerie sent the text message.“Keep it open or close it?” The bartender placed a napkin down and set a pint of amber ale on top of it.“Close it, please.” Valerie handed the bartender a debit card and simultaneously drank one...
Duncan lay motionless with his legs on the bed and his arms stretched out over the nightstand. The late afternoon sun pierced through the vinyl mini-blinds warming his back. Lynette gasped when she saw him and ran to his side. Nicole was on Lynette's heels anxiously awaiting the moment she could take pleasure in Lynette's distress. Lynette untangled Duncan's strings and rods with the care one would afford any small living creature and not merely a marionette puppet.“Oh, are you going to cry over your stupid little creepy doll?” Nicole mocked...
