First Comes Love

Splickety's First Comes Love for their 2015 issue for Splickety Love (now known as Spark)

"Sub-genres - First kisses, first dates, first loves, first breakups, first crushes, etc.
First time feelings flit like butterflies and sting like bees. The first crush-which should really be called "crash" since we all crash and burn. The first kiss. The first fight. The first time you danced without injury. The first time you met the parents. Splicketly Love wants all the "firsts" flash fiction for our February issue.
Special Request: Splickety Love seeks strong, independent heroines with unique voice and a fond quirkiness. Also, we'd like to see more heroes than hunks. So, cut back on physical attraction and amp up the action and dialogue. "Firsts" tend to be gushy. Instead of kisses, try creating an inside joke for your couple. (You'll get brownie points.)"

Each short story entry is based off this contest, and I hope they spark interest as you read them.
