“A Birthday Squadventure (Squad Adventure)” by Rachel Hudson

Submitted to Contest #40

Rebecca stared off into space as Jenny hovered intently over her computer. “How much time have I got?” Rebecca glanced at her phone. “It’s 10:15. They’re late.” Jenny let out a deep breath. “Okay, I finished the essay.” “Oh, good!” Rebecca looked over her shoulder. &nb...

“Let's Live A Little” by Mary Macread

Submitted to Contest #40

'Come on Chloe, it's late!' I call out, 'it's going to be dark soon, mum will kill me.''Oh, don't be such a Winnie worry' she shouts back, I can almost hear the eye roll that no doubt accompanies her voice. 'We won't be long.' I follow her down the path, wondering what on earth had gotten into my best friend. She had been acting strangely all day and then, just as were leaving college, she pulled me into the toilets and begins checking the cubicles. 'What on earth are you up to?' I had asked incredulous. I had a lot of maths homework to do, ...

“A Summer Upset” by Synia Sidhe

Submitted to Contest #40

“Do you think he’s going to shoot her?” Matt hissed in Jersey’s ear. They huddled between the firewood and the ice cooler. Nacho cheese and gasoline mingled together in that distinct perfume that belonged only to a gas station. Jersey crumped his five-dollar bill back into his pocket, plans of getting slushies on this hot summer day thwarted by the robbery currently taking place. “We should go, right? While we can?” Matt asked. “He would have shot us, if we’d been inside.” Jersey growled; his gaze flicked over to hi...

“Rumors. ” by P. Jean

Submitted to Contest #40

As I think back on this day, the day Billy and I started a rumor, we had no real idea what a rumor was and how, sometimes, they can be very hurtful.It was one of those close hot days in August, the kind of day where it was almost too hot to move so we sat around under the big cherry tree speculating about how the Cleveland Indians were doing, or about school starting again. Just small talk, what had the other kids been up to over the summer, maybe if we were lucky there might even be a new kid in our grade ...

“The Unexpected Adventure” by Greg Gillis

Thomas O’Brien and Jake Madison were the best of friends since their days in high school over 30 years ago. Thomas is now a successful architect while Jake is a contractor working on many of the designs that Thomas had come up with in recent years. They were nearing the completion of a housing project that had been in the works for the last 2 months and had decided to celebrate with a little time off on a tropical island. &nbsp...

“Another Day, Another Dollar” by Hayley Naphen

Submitted to Contest #40

“Maisy, I can’t believe you're still here!” I looked up at Tulia, surprised to find her standing in my doorway. Pausing Broad City, I took out my headphones, picked up my laptop, and placed it on my night stand, amazed at how warm my lap felt from my computer’s exhaustion. “It’s really good,” I said with a guilty smile. I held my arms up in front of me, linked my fingers, and arched my back, head dropping. “I know it’s good. But look outside,” she said. I looked out my window, took in the grey skies, the cedar swaying slightly in...

“Weather or Not” by Sharon K Garner

Submitted to Contest #40

WEATHER OR NOT Kara pulled a plastic bag over the cast on her lower leg, fastened it with rubber bands, and hobbled over to the coat rack to ferret out her yellow rain slicker. She awkwardly swung between her crutches toward the French doors in the kitchen. Her family had been volunteer observers for the National Weather Service since 1941. They had never missed a reading, and she wasn’t about to break that tradition. She paused at the doors when Sadie, her calico cat, reared up out of a ...

“The Witch Misadventure” by Mona Belmont

Submitted to Contest #40

As a child, I was quite a fan of fairy tales. Whenever I wanted to hear a story, I would follow my mother around the house, endlessly pestering her to tell me a story. My mother would try to resist me, but in the end, she was no match for the tenacity of a wound-up 5-year-old. Her favorite story was the one about our town witch. This witch, she informed me, had been created by this town’s desire for help of some sort. Our town was a small one, near a lake in a valley by some hills. It wasn’t the easiest town to get to, and was oft...

“Sales call” by Micah Lewter

Submitted to Contest #40

Many years ago, I made a miserable mistake. I majored in newspaper journalism while in college.Now, I know what you’re thinking. “What’s a newspaper?” Back many years ago, people got their news from these assemblages of dead trees called “paper.” Words would be printed on them, and after reading these papers with news printed on them, they would either use them to line their bird cages, wrap presents if they ran out of wrapping paper, or roll dead fish in them at a fish market.Well, after 12 years of doing that, and watching my benefits...

“Movie Matters” by Kayla Saddington

Submitted to Contest #40

‘So which movie did you want to see?’ Ben looks up at the board with all the movies and start times.‘Whatever, I don’t care.’ Alice is more concerned about the candy bar and looks eagerly towards the popcorn. ‘It doesn’t matter which one you pick anyway. We can always watch another one after.’‘I won’t be doing that,’ Ben rolls his eyes and shakes his head.‘Aww come on,’ teases Alice. ‘You’re no fun.’ She pulls at his shirt sleeve drops the bottom lip.‘Next please!’ The young man standing behind the counter raises his hand and calls out to th...

“A Cottage in the Woods” by Katrina Wiech

Submitted to Contest #40

My feet hurt so much. We were supposed to be taking a short cut through the woods to get back to our apartment faster than taking the road. So far we have been walking for two hours (taking the road would have only taken one). “Daisy, I don’t think we are going the right way,” I say. “Just shut up I know where I’m going,” she says with a worried look on her face. I don’t say anything else. Daisy is very stubborn and I know the more I question her the more she will insist she knows where she is going. I don’t have anywhere else to...

“Escape to Paradise” by Grace Jarvis

Submitted to Contest #40

It is tradition to walk down the long zig-zagged line that was my town’s potluck dinner. Every year my entire family from a little place in Ohio would line up with our community. This year, absolutely everyone is here! My new aunt has brought chicken and rice, while others have brought roast beef, turkey, mashed potatoes, spinach salad and so much more. Just walking across the wide-open field and smelling the delicious aroma makes me think of home. Where I am. I grab a plate and hear my Mom chatter on and on about how great a new job w...

“One Helluva Trip” by Aidrielle R.

Submitted to Contest #40

Not for the first time, Katrina wakes up in the middle of the woods.Okay, scratch that, this is the first time she’s actually woken up in the woods. The last time, she was still about fifteen minutes away from the nearest forest to their neighborhood.Still.Her head hurts like hell, and she has no memory of anything that led up to her being here in the first place. Not like this is so surprising. Katrina and her best friend, Justin, often experience such blackout episodes, typically after a night of hardcore drinking or, even more typically, ...

“Looking for Solace ” by Dobby's Sock

Submitted to Contest #40

They came out of the asylum and felt the cold of the early morning. It was very gentle upon them. While Frank looked up at the sky and rattled his brain to recall the last time he had been out in the open on his own, Miller shivered, not with cold, but by the excitement that colored red his entire face and hands and neck. He wanted to run and shout in the ear of the next person, that now, he was free.The derangement had not settled upon their handsome heads suddenly. It was all gradual. How they had become friends, only the world that they s...
