Waning

Luna brushed blue glitter off her sequined mini skirt as she struggled to keep her balance. The poorly lit sidewalk just happened to also be poorly paved, so she feared that any minute now, her royal blue stilettos would crack under the pressure (and her ankle would go with it). With a dead phone and no wallet, all she had was a half-sobered mind and a dream. As she continued down the sidewalk, hoping the forecast calling for rain would be inaccurate, she noticed that further down and across the street, there was a group of people. Huzzah, ...

Sharing is Caring

Weekly Contest #72

   “Tabitha Cooper, successful businesswoman, January 17, 1936-February 3, 2020,” the tombstone read.     The richest woman I knew couldn’t even afford a slight elaboration on her grave, Serena thought to herself.     I can’t believe Great-Aunt Tabitha finally bit the long-awaited dust. She was the most successful woman in their family. Married to her job, never having a real partner or having any children. She died alone, her only legacy being her career. With no successors, she decided...
