No Risk No Reward
Little Black Book It all started as anything else these days, you know, with a 4am Instagram scroll. An ad, $20,000 for a story is this real? So what if it isn’t my mind is racing with ideas. I read through the comments and the rules, you have to sign up, pay, then you can submit your story and they are partnering with these notebooks. I’m really a nerd and I love notebooks, I’ve got to get one of these moleskin notebooks and just let it flow, I have a month until the deadline lets see how it goes. It started as a chaotic regular day, hyper obsessed with my to do list. I got a text that I got a package downstairs and thought ooo I wonder what it is, seeing as how I was drunk a few nights ago and I ordered everything in my saved for later Amazon cart. By then honestly it had slipped my mind that I ordered a notebook at 4am from an IG ad hoping I could write that million dollar story they were looking for. There it was my little black book it was beautiful, the energy was so exciting, the possibilities. There it was it was real I had to pick one of the ideas racing in my head and get to work. I just had to I could feel this was the opportunity for me.

Foreclosure
"What the hell are you doing?" Jack demanded of his wife. "I was listening to that." He changed the station back. They were on their way to a meeting at the bank. Where they were facing foreclosure on their home. Jack hadn't worked in months, and the job market was thin. Especially for a middle-aged travel agent. He'd taken over his mother's business several years ago. It used to be quite lucrative, but with the internet and sites like Travelocity, Trivago, and the likes, he'd been running in the red for years, and he'd had to shut it down.

Her
You see a girl walking down the street. She looks familiar but you’re running late so you keep walking. You notice that she’s got tears streaming down her face but you just don’t have the time to stop.

Ready to Hang
The sun rose, casting its glow onto the stage. However, it would go unused today as the two men meant to be on it were sneaking away. They had tipped off the deputy guarding them in order to escape. These men, a Texan and a Utahn, were guilty of an armed robbery in Prescott. They were trying to get the money to make it to California’s golden coast and take advantage of the abandoned mines; hoping to scavenge any gold that was missed.

THE DEVIL ITSELF
"I haven't a clue what you're talking about, doctor. Now I think it's about time you left. I'd tuck that journal away, before you do something you end up regretting. I'll see you out," the Warden said, standing immediately from his desk and motioning toward the door politely.

DARKNESS FALLS
Darkness often falls in more than one way. Like the setting of the sun upon the cold, dark earth, so too may darkness settle upon the soul of a man.

Hush.
Hi, So, this is not a blog, not an entry into the “competition”, is not even a post… This is just for you. Other users in the website will see the post about a girl and the guy that is what the picture supposedly is about. Some might post comments on it… Believe me, it’s not the same post, that is a love story like so many others… the one you’re reading is more of a confession.

Early Checkout
People had let stuff in his rental before: Phone chargers. Towels. One time, someone even left an empty duffel bag on the sectional.

Killsage
The rustling waves crash against the beach shoreline. People frolic in contagious elation under the squawking of seagulls. The palm leaves sway beneath a clear blue sky. Such beauty in retirement. Such pointlessness. So boring. The ordinance. The lack of quarrel. It ages me. I figured an early retirement would be good for me, a chance to get back all that I gave up. Guess I was wrong.
