Weekly Contest #359
I feel your hand in mine as we walk along the long white corridor. I look over as your familiar amber eyes meet mine. Without making a sound, you smile kindly and point to a small window to the right. Peering into the window, our heads nearly touch. Beyond the glass is a scene I could remember very well. Your eyes, still on me, encourage me to keep watching. Focusing on the scene, my heartbeat quickens as James walks into view. We see myself sitting at a table at our favorite steakhouse, watching James return from the bathroom. The waiter w...

Day Seven,The new planet is dark. Right now, anyway. The scientists spoke of a consistent schedule between the planet’s moon and the solar system’s sun. Seasons were predictable, much like our own.

I zoned out temporarily as I attempted to figure out what the orange blotch on the sleeve of his grey blazer was. “Hey! Don’t be a bitch, honey!” I scow...
Weekly Contest #87
I was seven. I remember the blue sky and the soft snowflakes that sifted slowly, seemingly, from the heavens. “Look both ways, Anna” I heard my mother say. “Anna, look both ways“ I barely heard her voice, slowly rising. I opened my mouth and stuck out my tongue to greet a lonely snowflake. “Anna!” I jumped, startled by the sudden exclamation and bit my tongue. The taste of blood flooding my senses. ”Sorry, mom” I looked to my left then to my right. “All clear“ I said smoothly while smiling at my mother who couldn’t possible frown any de...
