Weekly Contest #339
I looked into his eyes. He seemed to try to make me remember. His eyes producing an aura of contempt. When I woke up, it was late morning. I've been having this dream lately. He never tried to speak or do anything. I got dressed and headed to town. I went to my favorite coffee shop. My morning routines the same. A coffee shop in the mall, a Coffee shop in town. I would usually get it to go. I kept to myself, reading the news on my phone. I felt clumsy. I never dropped a cup of warm coffee though it was always boiling. I wondered when will th...
Weekly Contest #338
We search in life for big changes. Breaking up relations and forming new ones. A few lucky ones have the honor to introduce a couple, who eventually get married. Today I will share with you a example of a honor of such but with a twist. I was at the age of 25 and feeling good. Always hustling and bustling. While many of my friends have married with their mache, I was still burnt from a previous relationship. The reason I mention this will be understood soon. Since I stayed around, still living with my parents. While I tried to leave my pass ...
Weekly Contest #337
We were sitting one cool, fall evening. The conversation rolled like Tootsie roll. Since we were around 40, with no kids or responsibilities, the atmosphere was casual. My girl seating by my right: I was able to reserve seats to our favorite restaurant. Better upgrade your style. No Flip-flops Dan! I know how much you like them!Me: What's the occasion? She: Don't worry babe, I'm sure you can think of something.We were going through something. If I had to look in the distant future, I didn't see her by my side. Mia started with me only after ...
Weekly Contest #309
*Kisses*I was seating on a seat in a busy café. I was feeling uncomfortable, trying my best to bury myself in the cushioned seat. The time was 12:32. It was a typical Monday, with crowds of people coming in and out. Jessica surveyed the crowd with cautious eyes. Small sweat drops flowed down her forehead. "It's not my fault", she muttered." It's not my fault.". A man approached her, she immediately froze. The man was average height with a small bulge in his belly. His brown eyes seem to smile happily. His leaps pursed to reveal white, even t...

Offered: Our alliance is unstoppable. You're my queen and I'm your knight.:: I think we are two. I'm the sky and you – The land and sea.: When I kneel before you now, please accept my offer. The boy and the girl face the crowd with smiles. They bow slightly, and the crowd responds. The curtains close around them.The play was planned by their teacher, Tom. It presented a impossible love story with a princess locked in a tower, guarded by a dragon. So much Tom wanted to present, but he worried the parents would lose patience. Tom had a rich ba...
*Contains Miled Sexual content * StrandedWe were in it together. Both of us alone in the ocean. Our heads bobbing with the waves. We had one surf board. Perhaps we can untangle ourselves from this mess before it even happened. Every late June friends and colleges would celebrate the beginning of the summer. My family and I enjoyed getting their early, before the sun set. My two kids, Eli and Orly, had friends the same age. My wife and I would schmooze and enjoy some quality time. Friends from all social background- scientist, lawyers and doc...

I was watching the news. The camera was fixed on the reporter. A Hurricane warning was flashing on the screen. The people in Florida were instructed to evacuate. People not able to evacuate must barricade the windows and doors and not leave their house.I gave my sister a look. We both knew our father wouldn't make it. We had to hold our ground.When I was young my mother passed away. She was even more beautiful, lying in the hospital bed. It was a lifelong struggle against that cursed illness. The doctors gave her a 5% chance. 5% she will bea...
* Might contain some sexual Reference* A Very Long StoryI was smoking a cigarette. I noticed a man walking towards me. He was smiling and happy. I quickly scanned my brain.

I still couldn’t figure out who he was.:: You ok, he said.Relieved, I said: Yes. Hoping he might reveille who he was.:: You don't remember, do you?: Of course, I said. "From way back." : Right. I took one more...

Dear love,You have been ignoring my Facebook messages. Maybe it's because your busy working and I don't want to press you. I've been following your posts and some of them are great. The one with you at the zoo is phenomenal! Do you remember as kids how we used to travel around the country and go on some exciting hikes. Our parents… I was so proud of you. I don't want to make the wrong impression, I didn't realize you were the love of my life. It's been 40 years since… Last time we met you said you were having a difficult time and what was th...
I landed my hand on his shoulders. His shoulders were broad, The type people have when working outside. : Thank you:: You'd do the same I knew he was wrong.: Shoot in the head, otherwise…Encounters with the local population became frequent. The locals were becoming powerful…confident.I once was surprised by one. The meetings with locals became less frequent. They had overcome us by tactical methods involving suicide at times. It was noted they showed no remorse, no fear.:You deceit and cause fear among us. Your father would be ashamed if he ...

She developed a appitite to a very specific baby food. The mother quickly grew tired of trying to breast feed the baby adnd the family would stock up on this specific baby food for it was hard to buy. The first winter arrived and it rained and rained. They family was poor and often warmed up with blankets staring at the T.V. during the evening, each deep in thoughts. They espicially en...
I accepted a offer. When I started to work I was offered a deal, since I never graduated college, I had a hard time finding a job. Because my boss desperatley was looking for workers, because there is always a shortage of people where I worked before. The company, the factory. Yes, I worked in more factories than I can remember, but there was something different about this one. I had just finished becoming a Electrician. I was living with my parents, was looking closely of becoming 30 , and a bit overweight. So when my boss- A chemical Engin...
I don't share my thoughts, I don't know who to share with and even if I had someone I can trust, I don't see the point. My family enjoys my company and I don't feel the need to impress them. My work colleges aren't interested and busy at work, and my therapist would always say the same thing: "I see right through you, you aren't trying hard enough". So a tip for people who tend to get lost: Don't ever take a deture. never. And addictions. Don't indulge in thinking about yourself. It's called selfish. When I grow up and have a family of my ow...
