ESCAPE TO SPRING

Weekly Contest #86

Sara Jane stretched and slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at the old Mickey Mouse clock sitting on her old bedside table, the one her father had made for her 10th birthday seventy years ago. She couldn’t believe her eyes, it was 11:30. She had slept the morning away, that was a common thing these days. After all, what reason did she have to get out of bed? She slowly got up and reached for her robe lying on the pink chair in the corner of her bedroom. Walking into the kitchen, she went over to the coffee pot and started her morni...

ABANDONED

Weekly Contest #79

Johnny sat on the steps of the orphanage, tears streaming down his face. What was wrong with him? Why had his mommy abandoned him? He loved his mommy so much but she didn't love him anymore.

THE DEATH BOARD

Weekly Contest #74

Sally slowly added another tally mark to the five already there. Four more days before death, she had always used this board for her groceries, now it was her death board. She walked into the living room and sat on the couch, she was so exhausted. These last few days all she wanted to do was sleep. She didn’t have to think about death when she was asleep. Death should come quickly. She had suffered loss before but it was a phone call, your mother had a heart attack, your father had a stroke, your husband was killed in a wreck. Those times we...

THE ETERNAL INHERITANCE

Weekly Contest #72

 Candy knew this had to be a joke. She had never heard of Cody Davis. How could she have an uncle she had never heard of, but this telegram said she did. Even more unbelievable it said he had died and she was his heir. The heir to his estate worth ten million dollars. Someone had a good sense of humor, but she really wasn’t that amused. She walked over to the sofa and sat down. She read the telegram again, it still said the same thing. Candy Wright was the heir of the Cody Davis estate. Well if it wasn’t a joke it had to be a mistake. P...
