He picks it out. “Perfect,” he says.
Arrangements for the day are made.
They arrive on an empty beach at sunset.
Fluorescent oranges and luminous yellows paint the sky;
Their eyes meet.
He gets down on one knee.
With the “perfect” ring in hand, he asks,
“Will you marry me?”

A Day of War in Lifeless Land
Voting #: 4100
The barren desert soon fills with Enemies.
My mission: eliminate them.
Hands trembling, sweat beating, I hold my weapon.
Crater-making explosions hit the lifeless Earth.
I hear shooting in the distance.
I am hit. I drop to the ground.
I see the light, but stay away for another day.

Valentine’s Day
Voting #: 4101
The chocolate made a crunch as I bit into the caramelized center. A knock rang from my door: I couldn’t respond. Let them think I was dead. I didn’t care. All I knew was I would never take him back. Rising, I opened the door and gasped.
“Happy Valentines Day”

The Beginning of the End

It was dark as they drove up. Cars filled a normally vacant driveway. The inside of the house was still emptiness. She walked in cheerfully but was greeted with silence, followed by numerous harsh whispers. Something wasn’t right. Her mom spoke:
“Sweetie”, she said “Dad had a heart attack today”

Documenting the Great Prank War of 2011

I wake up to find my room covered in silly string. Immediately, I know that this is the work of my brother, the “Prank King”. I hear a scream from the other room. I imagine he found the dead snake I left under his bed. The “Prank Queen” strikes again.

Finally, after three hours of waiting in line, the front is in sight. My excitement rises as I can see the twist and turns of the roller coaster. I run to the next open car, but am suddenly stopped. “Sorry”, says the conductor, “you're not tall enough for this ride.”

Forty three seconds left in the super bowl.
Voting #: 4105
I decided to call a Hail Mary for the win. The ball is hiked, I take a large drop back and launch the ball and it lands in the hands of my best wide-receiver for a touchdown. The undefeated team is world champs! God, I am good at playing Madden.

Stirring Thantus
Voting #: 4106
Mary wept, arms around the lifeless body of Jonathan.
Family, friends called with sympathy, promising to dress in black on the fifth of December as well. They comforted her as she said one last goodbye, her tears weakened. The twitch of pale fingers in the casket haunted Mary for years.

Confessions of a shopaholic at her worst
Voting #: 4107
My carrier was on my shoulders heavier than my ninety pound golden retriever.
My hair was tousled and wavy yet had a sense of "I am here." My outfit
was high school savvy with a touch of sophistication. It was time for my glamourous
new life as a mail woman.

A turn for the worst
Voting #: 4108
She was in a ditch faced down and not responding. The four wheeler took a sudden turn
down the road crushing and swallowing the land. I pulled over and raced towards
where my daughter was. I held her and prayed for a miracle. Everything went blank and
I woke up.
