Desperate Remedies

Weekly Contest #248

Desperate Remedies  "Beep! Beep! Beep!" I awake to a familiar sound and a familiar sight. A messy room lit up with the light from sunrise and a fucking ANNOYING alarm that won't shut up. "Beep! Beep!" "click" I turn it off and look at the time...shit im going to be late! I immediately got up, got dressed in a button up shirt, denim jeans and sneakers then bolted out the door as fast as my feet could carry me. I ran to my car...SHIIIIIIIIT! I forgot my fucking keys...are you kidding me? I ran back to my apartment and ...

Opening up

Weekly Contest #191

I wake up in the morning and go to work at a warehouse just putting labels on packages and then putting them on a conveyer belt for shipping. I work in this little booth by myself it’s nice and quiet so it allows me to think. I tend to think up tragedies in my head though I’ve been trying to block them out but, its hard so I listen to music to make me feel better. Around 3:30pm I hear the bell ring which means it’s time for lunch. Unfortunately, we can’t eat at our stations meaning I have to go to the massive breakroom filled with people. As...

Weekly Contest #187

Cupid Cat My name is Roger Griff allow me to tell you a story of how I met my one true love. It all started when I woke up around five in the morning randomly during the week. I had a basic nine to five at a photo production warehouse down the street. After waking up and worried that if I went back to sleep I’d just end up sleeping in there by wasting my morning I got up. It was too early to getting ready for work or eating breakfast. And just playing video games would also cause me to waste my morning away. I was trying to be more cautious ...

Nothing but blackness

Weekly Contest #184

I wake up in the middle of the night frustrated that I can’t sleep. I turn to the left alarm, and it reads 1am UGH! I turn to the right and see my wife Patricia laying down next beside me. God she always looked so pretty when she was asleep. I lay back down and stare at the ceiling after what seemed like twenty minutes I decide that I just can’t do it and get up. I go out of our room and down the hall on the left that’s Penelope and Emily’s rooms. I open the door just a tad to see them sleeping soundly together. My precious little girls from...

Eyes on me

Weekly Contest #182

My name is Clara Rising for about as long as I can remember I’ve felt as though someone was always watching me even as a kid.

I am 23 years old I live by myself as a writer that’s somewhat accomplished I wake up this morning refreshed after my late night gaming session. I love playing overwatch it’s easier to climb than I thought with the right people. I check the clock 7:00am huh? If I remember correctly I have a book signing today at Barnes & Nobl...
