Weekly Contest #343
She had become a person who spent $250 a week to complain about laundry. “And whenever I start to express any frustration about it, he says he helps out around the house all the time and I’m not being fair.” “Are you not being fair?” Mallory had been Jenelle’s therapist for three years. This was not her first time hearing about the mounds of clothing that accumulated throughout her house on a constant basis and it probably won’t be her last. “He’s being unfair for instantly going on the defense,” Jenelle signed and grabbed a tissue from the ...
Weekly Contest #342
This wasn’t how I envisioned our long overdue reunion–butt up with dozens of screaming four-year-olds jumping on my back–but life, especially my life these days, can be a cruel prankster. My son, Hank, scampers off deep into the play structure with his motley crew of buddies, leaving me and his younger sister, Maeve, to fend for ourselves in another grimy, snot-infested ball pit – my new weekend norm. There’s nothing in the Big Book of Motherhood about preparing yourself mentally and physically for the God-awful number of children’s birthday...
Weekly Contest #298
Grief and Temptation walk into the dimly lit bar.At first glance they make a confusing duo. Grief is wearing a baggy college sweatshirt and jeans and has pulled her hair loosely on the top of her head. Temptation, on the other hand, has never met a mirror she didn’t love. Her makeup is flawless, not smudge in sight, layers of hair cascade down her back and rest perfectly on her razor-sharp shoulder blades and her crop top hits all of her curves in a way that lets everyone know it’s not by accident.Grief parks herself on an empty stool and si...
Weekly Contest #253
Jennie has a real talent for acquiring people. Sure, it sounds like a good quality on paper, but, in fact, it can be beyond annoying. Take for example right now. I’m crammed into a corner booth with Steve? I think it’s Steve. He’s a random dude she met at the first bar we hit up tonight. He was sitting at a high top alone when Jennie beckoned him over for a shot and now I’m the one who can’t shake him. “Tell me a fun fact about you,” I say unenthusiastically, trying to break up the awkward silence until Jennie gets back from the bar.&n...
Weekly Contest #252
“Ashley, wait!” There was no way I was going to give her the satisfaction of turning around. There was nothing left to explain. “Ashley, you bitch, I know it’s you!” I grabbed my apartment keys and gripped them tightly between my pointer and middle finger – just like my older sister had taught me in middle school. “Always go for the eyeballs or nuts,” she had told me, although I knew if she caught up to me my keys wouldn’t do a damn thing. I turned up Market Street and started walking faster. A group of tech bros were taking up the ent...
