A Mysterious Package
Samantha sat at her kitchen table, staring at the small brown package that had arrived in the mail that morning. It was addressed to her, but there was no return address and no indication of who had sent it.

The Last Photograph
She had always loved old photographs. The sepia tones, the faded edges, the glimpses of a bygone era. She collected them from flea markets, antique shops, and online auctions. She framed them and hung them on her walls, creating a collage of strangers’ memories.

A secret
(The imaginary scene in my head) The person sitting behind the metal desk in the large grassy area outside the campus dipped their donut in a mug of warm espresso, and took a bite of it. I could tell they were relishing the cruller and the coffee. It was nice outside, spring, warm but not too warm.

Running Through the Forest
I was running through the forest, naked and afraid. She tore off my clothes in a hungry rage. My heart was pounding. I passed another abandon cabin. I went inside to hide. The howling continued. There was scratching at the door. How did she know I was here? Could she smell me? I climbed out the window. I ran as fast as I could, but she caught up to me anyway and pounced. My girlfriend went completely ferrel again when she saw the wolf pack. “I love you, baby,” was the last thing I said as she ate me alive.

It is what it is
I saw my husband in bed with my co-worker. They just stared at me. I told myself if this ever happened, no explanations would be needed; I simply told them I would be packing all my stuff.

Nerdy to Nuptials
Once upon a time, in a university far, far away, there was a nerdy young man named Charlie. Charlie was a brilliant student, always buried in his books, coding away on his laptop, and participating in hackathons. He was a whiz at math, computer science, and physics, but he didn't have much of a social life. He was always the quiet one in class, sitting at the back and trying to blend in with the furniture.

Appliance Appreciation
“I feel used, unappreciated,” my dishwasher told me. I thanked it for its service. “Too little, too late,” it said, then fell silent and refused to turn back on.

Lillian's Last Laugh
Lillian was awkward. Harmless, though. Or so her peers thought. They regularly made fun of her quirks and traits. She laughed it off.

The Chance Encounter
Emily walked through the crowded streets of the city, the noise and bustle of the people around her a familiar comfort. She was lost in thought, her mind racing with worries about her future. She was turning 30 soon, and she felt like she had nothing to show for it. No career, no husband, no kids. She was starting to feel like maybe she was never going to find love.

The Found Finger
Introduction While I am tempted to just go for the fifty to a hundred word challenge for this as it is twenty to eleven at night I have decided not to and just have a normal length story. This may imply that I am not clever enough to write an engaging story in a hundred words, but I have already done one so that should be enough.
