A Honeymoon on the French Riveria
A Honeymoon on the French Riveria by Joyce Fisher (a Short Story Contest entry)
"Can you call the front desk for the time" my husband asked? " You can speak French", he added confidently. I willingly picked up the phone and said in my best high school accent, "pardon et moi, quelle heure est- il, s'il vous plait"? The clerk answered me politely, but rather rapidly, and I thanked him, "merci beaucoup".
"Well darling" my bridegroom asked, "what time is it"? I answered in exasperation "who can understand French"?

Cowbirds
Maeve thought about cowbirds as her eyes traced the clear tubing leading from her teenage daughter’s arm to the IV bag, plump with fluids meant to quell the storm created when a virus collides with starvation. How did she miss the “die” in diet? What Maeve once considered audacity on the cowbird’s part—laying her speckled eggs in others’ nests—she now conceded might be wisdom. Letting a better bird raise your baby.
Amaze Me
Amaze Me by Jennifer Lynn Farrell (a Short Story Contest entry)
Grandma your so smart
You know all the names of the birds
You always tell me short stories
I start to giggle when you read me riddles
When Christmas is here I savor each bite of your pecan pie
I like to hear about your trips to Germany
Most of all I love to hear your memories of cape cod
I am honored to have as my grandmother
I thank you for being such a wonderful grandma
The Sandy Shore
The Sandy Shore by Komal Mehra (a Short Story Contest entry)
She sat down with a canvas and her palette. Dipping her paintbrush in the blue hue, she created the majestic sky! Blending some white shade in blue, she painted some gleaming strokes of water. Immersed in her creative zeal, she dipped her brush in earthen brown and glazed the canvas with the sand tint.
Her imagination knew no bounds, as she walked towards the alluring ocean, leaving her footprints on the sandy shore!
