Lisa Stories. Where are We going?

I came home from work coughing, which isn’t unusual, because of allergies. Lisa looked at me. “Are you sick?” “Of course not. Just the normal.” “I’m going to have to take your temperature. I was able to buy a thermometer today.” “Sure.” It sounded good to me because I was worried I’d maybe been infected. Masks had only become available […]

Lisa’s Trap

The waiter stopped by the table, checking to make sure everything was okay, and asked if the couple would care to order another round of drinks. Jake looked across the table at his sexy date, and ordered two more beers. They had to wait at the bar for a while before getting a table and had already put away a […]

Listen and Learn

It wasnt the most exciting day, but the weather was fine enough. Alice had been enjoying the Summer, but with the kids away things were getting a little lonely. Joanne had plenty of free time too so the girls were spending the time at the beach, mostly sitting in one of many sunny bars or cafes chatting away the afternoon. […]

Litten Tree

I could hear the taxi driver beeping his horn impatiently outside. I waved at him through my window that i would be out in a couple of minutes whilst applying a coat of lip gloss to my lips. If there was one thing that really pissed me off it was being hurried while getting ready to go out. I took […]

Little Bird

Sometimes after a really good first date, you walk around in a daze. A stupid grin plastered on your face, a drunken wobble in your gate, and a fog over your eyes. That’s where Jason was as he made his way through the east Village and up to the apartment of his best friend Ray. Ray opened the door and […]

Little Lost Puppy

The night was illuminated only by streetlights as Alex made his way home from the bar, alone. He was tipsy, but not drunk, and disappointed, but not surprised, that he was alone yet again at the end of a Friday night. Alex absentmindedly felt for his wallet in his pants pocket, a nervous ritual he indulged in dozens of times […]

Little Miss Fifth Period

Grading papers. Those damn kids. I could hate them all if the Council would let me. That would be the Concerned Catholic Parents and Teachers Council, of course. I have been a teacher at St. Peter’s High School for three years. I was meant for greater things. “Go to a Catholic school,” my friends told me, “Get to see all […]

Little Miss Perfect & The Headmaster

Outside the heavy walnut door, Serena stood twisting the edge of her plaid skirt nervously in her fingers. Biting her bottom lip, her mind raced trying to fathom what was about to happen to her and if there was anything that should could say or do to get herself out of it. At 18 years old, she was an abnormally […]

Little One Learns Her First Lesson

The muffling was the first thing she heard. The silence was what actually woke her up though. The fog had been in and around her mind for awhile though, and she definitely couldn’t see much nor make out much from what was in her vision. Complete darkness. Brooke took a deep breathe in, no need to panic… The scent of […]

Like Old Times

“Do you ever find yourself missing people you know you shouldn’t?” The question catches me off guard. I hadn’t expected a deep conversation. Not that it’s not welcome. Just… unexpected. I push the pause button on the controller as I contemplate the question. I’m not sure how to answer and so the words take a while to find. The stretched […]
