That Spot on his Tooth
By Heidi Holtan
"As Emma walked through the
automatic doors of Wilson Library she was
positive she never looked worse. Her hair was matted down on one side due
to skipping a wash this morning and she had sprouted a whole new crop of
blemishes on her chin. And she reeked. Of onions from leftover Thai food
and the stink of cigarettes from the concert at First Avenue the night
before. It was just her luck that she would run into Robert."
Diary of a Christmas Tree Ornament
By Jim DeSelms
"We just arrived at the store today. It was a bumpy ride, but we're all so snug and happy in our little box. We just enjoyed the ride, singing our little Christmas carols. What joy it is to be a little Christmas ornament! We aren't very fancy, just simple colored glass Christmas balls. But we totally make up for our lack of glitz with pure class and charm!"
The British Woman
By Martha Ross
"Daisy was nearing the end of her second martini. The gin made her cheeks glow and her pointy, elfin features lose their usual severe look. Her frown lines were scarcely visible in the dim light of the lamp hanging above the bar booth. She downed the remaining liquor, then licked her lips, smiled mischievously and asked, 'So what should we do about Tim?'"
