Remembrance

Next up is a sweet story from Scott Allen. Thanks, Scott.
My dog died today. His time had come. As I lay on the floor with him, he leaned his head against me, and I knew. Still, having him put to sleep was the hardest decision I ever made, and holding him as he died, the […]

An American with Czech Blood

We begin today with a story from Bonnie B.
Miranda had plans to be in Prague, sitting in a dark café, alone, ears perked toward two men sitting just inside the blood red velvet curtained doorway. Ice hockey. Philip Morris. Nietze. Their fingers (dirty) cradle cigarettes (short). Ribbons of smoke dance […]

Vampire?

We close the day with a final story from Jenhui Lung.
A 300 years old blood sucking man was soaring above 9 foot in a mansion. He illustrated two sharp teeth with blood dripping down and gazed at a beautiful girl.
She suddenly took out a crucifix and pointing at him.
“Get away! Immortal.”
“No! I want to kiss […]

Horizon Lost

Our second story of the day from Jenhui Lung.
It was shining at my face, the morning glory sunlight in the lake. We only hear the sound of the boating.
“I am tired,” Murray said.
“Relax, this lake is huge,” I said.
“So hot here, it’s weird, we were freezing up the hill”
“Where’re we?” she asked.
“Did you remember to […]

Your Coffin

Today we have several submissions from Jenhui Lung. Thanks for the stories, Jenhui!
“It seems to have met you before.” Jamar said.
A man stalks in midnight of Petrified Forest.
“Hey! Stop”
An attractive girl keeps running without turning back.
“Are you the guy came from past?” She replied.
“I feel terribly losing you! Don’t you know?”
“Who are you?”

“Please go […]

The End Is Near

We close out the weekend with a story from Olga Madzhitova. Thanks, Olga; and thanks, everyone!
“Run! Are you deaf? Run!” Carrie yelled as Lora ran for her life. ‘The end is coming, the end is coming.’ Lora mumbled to herself. ‘A cliff! My goodness what am I going to do? There’s no turning back.’ At […]

Twelve Inches

This bit of burlesque comes from Steve Talbert.
Emily had experienced six, seven, even nine inches. But twelve inches? She was sure she could handle it, but her hometown friends would certainly be impressed. Her best friend, Beth, would require proof, of course. Fortunately, Emily enjoyed amateur photography. Clutching her camera, the native Floridian maneuvered her […]

It Can Only Get Better

We start Sunday with a story from Phil Jenkins.
This is crazy! It used to be so simple! One foot in front of the other, and try not to lean. I know the world is not tilting!
It can only get better, but when?
Still could be worse, the stroke could have killed me!

The Corinth Canal

And one more from mo cohen…
The ship glided silently through the Corinth Canal and we hardly dared breathe. The sides were so close we reached out and touched them. The night was black, the stars infinite beyond imagination. We had talked for many hours. You whispered “You are Sartre and I am De Beauvoir. This […]

Proscenium

This story comes from Cameron Pool.
“Go,” said the voice in the near distance.
“I’ll never forget” he says, leaning to her ear. “Shh, don’t say a word; nothing you could say will help me to understand.”
“Good!”
“I will always, love you.” Bang!
A tear; it’s flawless.
“I hope he appreciates what I’ve done.”
“You’ve got the part, I do.”
