Weekly Contest #342
We said everything except… Well, you know.That.But it was, wasn’t it? I mean… I said “I don’t know if I could make it in the life it would take to be with you. But if there’s one man I’d try for, if there’s one man I’d be willing follow across the world it’s you”And he said “I find myself thinking about you. Thinking about how you would handle each situation I come across” And I said “I feel crazy. I can’t look at another man until I know what’s happening with us”He said “I like you enough to try this, but I also like you enough that I don’...
Weekly Contest #259
“Okay, I think I’m sober enough to go home” Luna stood decisively and gathered her purse, stretching her arms and lingering as she made her way towards the garden gate. “I’ll walk you out” Alex stood hurriedly and pushed his chair in. Luna nodded and turned to the others, offering a gracious smile, “Lee, Rodrick, Bennett, nice to meet you. Have a nice rest of your night”. The men exchanged knowing glances and grinned as they gave their parting farewells to the woman who had just hours ago cleaned their pockets of any spare cash at poke...
Weekly Contest #140
Good morning, it’s been awhile since we talked but I’m in town until next week. I wanted to know if you wanted to get coffee or something and catch up? I don’t know if you still live here, but I thought I’d give it a shot. I stared blankly at my screen, the bright words etching themselves into my mind as I read and reread them. Was this real? Was this some sort of scam or twisted trick? Why would he reach out? Why now? The questions collided in my brain as I searched for an appropriate response. I set my phone down and tried to concentrate...
Weekly Contest #132
I remember the day I broke my heart by asking God for an exception. Just this once. I dared to ask the question of what he and I could be, if only we could ignore the creeping complications of our differences. Perhaps, I thought naively, we could be different. We could be the ones to show the world how to navigate the trails blazed by the hardened hearts of our forefathers. Perhaps, I dreamed, our love might be enough. “So… what’s going on between us?” I dared to ask, ready to paint a beautiful fantasy of peace and inclusion where we ...
I was lying on my bed scrolling through social media when I happened upon yet another post about a distant acquaintance who found his soulmate. I could barely take it, but I couldn’t stop myself. I mindlessly scrolled until I stumbled upon another soulmate post, yet this one leaves a pang of envy in my chest. This pair is wrapped up in each other’s arms and the girl is radiant. Her smile is familiar but something about her seems foreign to me. Her hair swirls around her in an array of iridescent colors. Magic laces its way through the ...
Weekly Contest #103
I was rifling through my old college things, a small fan, a can opener, some old books, and a few desk trinkets when I discovered it. The small picture frame with a postcard inside. It was a cheap, plain, black frame with a simple postcard of a house with those iconic balloons on it. I stared at that postcard, scanning my mind for where it came from. It was an art piece I knew, one I had loved at some point in my life, but I would never have bought this for myself or put it in such a plain frame. My Up phase had faded, but something about th...
Weekly Contest #101
I knew, at that moment, you would soon become my favorite memory. The summer breeze floated softly the day I met you. We had that kind of cordial greeting like two acquaintances who ran in the same circles of mutual friends but had never formally met. There was something so familiar about you even though I knew we had never met. We both took a leap that day. A chance on one another. I trusted you in a way that I had never trusted before, that you had not been trusted before. We knew without words that this was something special, merely the ...
