Weekly Contest #130
Dimitri struggled up the hill, wrestling with the heavy sack he carried. He tried hard not to look over his shoulder, for he knew his pursuers were not far behind. He had been running for five days, and he was finding himself weaker and more tired with each step he took. He couldn't help looking over his shoulder though. He needed to know if they were still there.He knew the reputation of the king's guard. They were not known for their mercy, but he knew if he could reach it, he would survive. If he could just get to the portal, he wouldn't ...
Weekly Contest #129
She would leave. It was the best possible solution to their problems. Who was she kidding? A romantic getaway with a man who had given up months ago couldn't...wouldn't fix their problems.

Somehow Aunt Charlotte "butt dialed" her bride-to-be niece who heard her rather loud Aunt Charlotte telling her Uncle Mike that getting married at such an old age was just as much a mistake as her third marriage, and she had been married four times. Her niece shouldn't even have children at this age! Uncle Mike was heard replying that love did that to people, gave them illusions of grandeur that almost alwa...
Weekly Contest #122
Annie had always thought the holidays were a beautiful time of year. She had not always viewed them as surviving them. There were happier times; times when she looked forward to the Thanksgiving turkey with family and friends around her table, but those times were long gone. Black Friday took on a different meaning now. She didn't participate in the shopping of that day. There was no joy in this time of year anymore. Her life had felt quite dark since he’d gone. She and Fred had been together for such a lo...
