Weekly Contest #350
I’ve been sitting in this uncomfortable cafe stool, Ed Sheeran playing through the speakers in the background, listening to another of Andrew’s heartbroken sob stories again. After ten minutes of him ranting I finally decide to contribute to the conversation.“Didn’t you guys only date for three weeks?”“But it felt like a lifetime! She was so sweet, kind, funny. She had this laugh that made my skin crawl but I even miss that now. How could she leave me?”I take a sip of my iced americano, trying to avoid eye contact. He was a terrible boyfrien...
Weekly Contest #348
I should have listened to my brother when he told me I shouldn’t live on my own in a house this big and secluded. But no, I had to prove him wrong, purchasing a house I thought could be my forever home. I got it for a steal and sure it may have been old and worn down, but it had so much potential. An old Victorian two story, four bedroom house. The structure was sound, the wood was solid and sturdy, the layout was beautiful. And because of all the work it needed, from new drywall to new plumbing and deck, I got it for a steal at auction. I w...
Weekly Contest #305
He looked between us once more and said, “It’s either her or me.”“Are you sure?” I asked. I was generally a loud person, but my voice was eerily steady and low.“Yeah, I am. I’m sick of letting you get your way whenever you want it. So just leave her and come with me.” Jason answered. “I’m not giving in on this.”“Why are you so sure I’ll choose you?” I knew he was a narcissist, but I really wanted to know his reasoning.“Are you kidding? Of course you’ll choose me. We’ve been together for what, a year now? You just met her. So just drop this a...
Weekly Contest #302
‘Hey, this is Kacy, I’ve tried calling the last few weeks. I need you to know that I had a baby and it’s yours. I know we were just a fling, but she’s your daughter so we need to talk about it. I’m moving in with my mom for some support, I didn’t realize how expensive a kid would be. I want to talk to you before I leave the city so please call me! ’“What is this?” Jasmine, my girlfriend of four years stood there with my phone in her hand.“My phone?” I answered, unsure of what she was getting at.“Don’t try to be cute James, this isn’t funny.”...
Weekly Contest #301
I watch as my best friend Keller gets wheeled away on a stretcher to an ambulance, while my hands are cuffed behind my back and douche bag Donovan isn’t anywhere to be seen. If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. Keller wouldn’t be heading to a hospital unconscious and I wouldn’t be facing charges. But here we are, because of Donovan. Go figure.It was only this morning when Keller ran into my house screaming, “Dude, ditch the bag! There’s been a murder!”I stared at him confused, wondering what the punch line wo...
