Failed Bunny

Weekly Contest #343

I sat in my quiet bedroom with my chihuahua–Gucci Vuitton. My PC sat on the nightstand. Before I opened it, I already knew what it would say. No notifications. No messages. No new modeling gigs. I clicked on the site LightlyLovedDresses. They had used dresses in named brands. I bought one of my favorites there. After daydreaming about wearing them, I checked the last application I’d submitted. In two weeks it said the same thing: Thank you for your application to Gilded Girls Agency.

"Lost in Translation"

Weekly Contest #24

The day after the murder of Sally Rhodes, one of my old friends, I picked up the newspaper. Being in town gave me an advantage. I wasn’t about to let some uptight agent take over the case. I lacked any leads on the cast—doubting she could do better. On November 13th she came by my house. “I’m Special Agent Marla Monroe.” She said, in ASL. Her translator, whose name I didn’t know, informed me. “I’m aware of your connection to the case.” I let them in the house, she continued. “You knew Ms. Rhodes, correct?” “I did, yeah, and I’ll find who ...
