Sorry

This story has been submitted by Ammani. Thank you for the story, Ammani.
I’m about set in motion a series of events which I’ll regret immediately. My bottom’s racing towards your sofa and I’ll be unable to stop it in time.
Soon I’ll sink into your cushions. When I’ll hear a soft crack.
All eyes will […]

The Fisherman

Streetcorner

Most gave the same hybrid look, saying both, “Shut up!” and, “Do you know how stupid you look?” Occasionally it would be, “Poor man;” but usually it was contempt and disgust. Ten years on and it still stung like the first day.
Still, he was compelled to continue. Opening his Bible, he began to speak.

Deflating experience

Little ‘becca began crying large alligator tears as her mommy sat down beside her on the ferris wheel.
“It’s ok ‘becca,” said mommy.  “This is a fun ride.  We’ll see everything from the top.”
“No mommy!”  ‘becca sobbed.  “You sat on Bob!”
 Bob was ‘becca’s invisible best friend. 
He was inflatable. 
Now he was flat.

One Blueberry Muffin

“You’re two hours late!!!”
“I know. I’m sorry. I was baking…”
“You made me wait because you were baking?!?”
“It was my first time…I brought you some to try…”
A withering look. “Maybe you should just go home.”
Later, she had a bite of the muffin he left behind. And found one sparkly ring inside.

I sat down to write my first official story as a 55fiction blogger. I looked long and hard at the screen, then closed my eyes to picture what would come out. The idea formed in my head becoming more clear as I typed out the words. Perfect! Word count… 56! […]

Code Blue

Mark caught his breath. The injection seemed to be working. He could feel himself relaxing, hear his heart slowing. His eyes were heavy, but he stole a glance toward his wife. He managed a weak smile before closing his eyes. The last thing he remembered was a steady whine from the machine near his bed.

That Warm Feeling

Him: We’ve been friends for long time yet I still can’t figure you out.
Her: Just quit figuring me out, silly.
Him: How else can I know how you’d respond when I ask you to be my girl?
Her: Let’s just keep walking.
Pulse racing, she cleared her throat. She’s finally experiencing that warm feeling.
