Weekly Contest #5
Jim had always heard that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. A part of him hoped that wasn’t true. Jim Harding, was celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday in a hospital bed. A few people thought he was crazy scheduling his hip replacement surgery on his birthday, but Jim couldn’t think of a better gift. The nurse came in with an update. “You’re still a couple of hours out,” she said. “The operation before you is running long, so feel free to close your eyes and relax.” “Are they having complications?” Jim asked “Nothing to...

It was an accident, and I still believe it was unavoidable. It isn’t the accide...

I occasionally go shopping with her, but I know it isn’t good for our relationship. A typical shopping expedition might sound like this. “Do you think Robin will like this sweater?” she’ll ask. “Absolutely,” I’ll say. It’s at that point she puts it back on the rack. “What about this sweater?” “Oh, she’ll look great in that one too.” Again, she puts it back on the rack “Let’s go to the housewares sect...
