“Peaceful Night” by Cheshire Jack

Submitted to Contest #40

RubyEverything started when we were hanging out in Nino's backyard. A true misadventure that lasted a night. His parents had left for some holiday back on the mainland so we had the house for ourselves. We spent all of our time outside, though. As always. We had made a fire in the brasero Nino had built, planning to have a barbecue. Paper lanterns were hanging on the trees around our camp since the beginning of the summer. Our hammocks were waiting for us. It was a warm evening, with crickets singing ; the four of us were together and I coul...

“Dying Poppies” by Anna Larose

“ I don’t wanna go!” Micheal screams at the top of his lungs while his brother, Luis, is trying to convince him to change his mind.“It's not up to you to decide!” By this point, he’s holding onto the pole in the middle of the room.“You can't make me!”“Micheal! Get your dumb-self together and let’s go!” Luis takes Micheals’s feet and pulls him towards the door. “Aizen and Connor are already out the door!”“My name isn't Micheal!” Micheal grabs a five-pointed golden star and attempts to stab his hand. Luis quickly stops him and twists his...

“An Airport Catastrophe ” by Aiyana Lopez

“Malia hurry up! We are going to miss our flight if you move any slower!” exclaimed Laney. “Okay I’m coming, gosh.” Said Malia, rolling her eyes. They grabbed their highly decorated and overly packed suitcases. Heading towards the international terminal, they turned around and waived a farewell to their parents. Both of their families had come to see them off. They quickly went and checked in and made sure they had their boarding passes ready to whip out at a moments notice. As first-time flyers, they were nothing but elated and thril...

“All’s Well that Ends Well” by Jonathan Piscitelli

Submitted to Contest #40

Julian wandered outside of his hotel. The sound of the ocean was near, and the sea smell was wonderful in its tangy immediacy. It just felt good to be free Julian thought as he looked up at the stars. He could see the big dipper dangling askance in the sky and there was Orion off to the side, and the moon hung ominously over the ocean. Julian walked along the promenade breathing in the deep China Grove air and trying to figure out what he was going to do next. &nbsp...

“A Little Dinghy” by Brian St Aubin

Submitted to Contest #40

I was staring up at the ceiling. I could still make out the faintest sounds of rain but the sun appeared bright through the window. “You know, I didn’t learn to swim until I was eleven. How is that even possible?” Charlotte was bent over; I thought looking for something she dropped. She came back up with her hands over her head and immediately went down into a lunge followed by a warrior one pose. “Eleven? Wow, that’s pretty late?” Charlotte replied, still holding her perfect warrior one. “Yeah, I remember ...

“A Fae-tal Misadventure” by Lacie Nairn

Submitted to Contest #40

Jack wanted munchies, that's how it all started out. We set out on our adventure to the store; even though Jack only recently moved to the area, he swore he knew a shortcut. I should have spoken up when it started getting darker and the trees drew in closer. And I definitely should have said something when I noticed the strange ethereal glow in the distance. We should have turned back then, but Jack is insistent when he thinks he's right. Unfortunately, Jack is rarely right. It's his special talent. Our group of friends has always jok...

“Slip Sliding Away” by Doris Bowman

Submitted to Contest #40

It all began very early on the morning of March 15 when I got a phone call from my nineteen- year-old daughter. Kim needed her mom. Desperately needed me. Hysterically needed me. She was being admitted to the hospital. She was 700 miles away. And she was nine months pregnant! Let me back up here. A few months before this call, Kim and her young husband made the foolish decision to move from St. Louis, Missouri to Anderson, South Carolina. I might have gotten a little hysterical myself, but Kim was perfectl...

“A Blunder in the Burrs.” by Leslie Cartwright

Submitted to Contest #40

The crisp autumn air was cool and the warmth from the morning sun was welcome on my back. I used the last of the summers heat to my advantage, drying the indoor acrylic paint that I was applying in long smooth strokes with my brush. The long strips of trim were balanced on the sawhorses in the driveway. The smell of cut grass and drying autumn leaves mingled with the fumes from the acrylic paint. I was preoccupied and content with my task, paying little attention to the whereabouts of my two year old son, Jonah. A little chatterbox, he was a...

“Aliens, BB Guns, and Snakes.” by Glennj Russell

Submitted to Contest #40

When I woke up, it was about six in the mornin’, and the sun hadn’t been up long. Me ‘n Mckee checked to be sure that Mama and Daddy was home by openin’ their door a crack. They was, so I guess they had made out alright the night before, and Mama must not’ve been as mad. Or else since they had been drinkin’, she hadn’t looked for her bottles. Lookin’ at ‘em, we figured they’d probably sleep til noon. Me ‘n Mckee had that new Red Ryder BB gun and we hadn’t had a chance to use it yet.Here was now the perfect opportunity: Saturday mornin’; Indi...

“Cameroon” by Ute Orgassa

Submitted to Contest #40

This was madness, JoJo thought. Utter madness and the most dangerous thing he had ever done in his life. He crouched down on the harsh gravel in the dark. It left a painful impression on his right knee. If this had been any other time, he would have straightened up right away, but now he was too scared to do so. Instead, he pulled out his phone to dim the brightness and to turn off any conceivable noises coming from it. He didn’t want an errand text sound to end his life. The place seemed deserted enough. The brown and black boxc...

“The last hug” by Vinay Moses

Submitted to Contest #40

Today, I ate five times. The day was so boring, that eating five times is the only thing I could recollect doing. My days are never this boring usually; because I was always surrounded by my two idiotic friends, Dooby and Doo. Actually my mom nicknamed us this way; because together, we are known as Scooby, Dooby, Doo and we did the stupidest things with a lot of impenetrable unity.After being the victim of boredom for a long time, I Played Ludoonline and that game planted a doubt in me. I didn't like that doubt. That doubt disappointed me of...

“Happy birthday to you, you were born in the zoo with monkeys and donkeys who look like you Sue, happy birthday to you” everyone wished Sue and hugged her tightly. “Thank you” she said to her friends, who brought gifts and chocolates cheering her loudly, celebrating her 15th birthday. “Love you dear” Katie hugged her and excused herself from them saying she had important work to do. “I’ll be back soon, see you later alligator” Brandy waved at Sue and Dawn walking out of the door. “As usual, it’s just us now; shall we go to the canteen?”Sue s...

“The Golden Door” by Kristen Watson

Submitted to Contest #40

I looked up at the alarm clock waiting for the time to hit 10:50 AM, 10 minutes beforemy shift at the zoo began. Just one week ago, standing in my beige button up shirt and jeans, I was named the head keeper of the zoo. Additionally, this meant that my duties were beyond what I was doing before, picking up trash and washing windows. As I sat on the couch thinking back to that week, just staring at the clock in a gaze, I began to feel nervous, yet eager at the same time. My stomach churned as I realized I had to leave now in order to make it ...

“Weekend of Not-So-Much Fun” by Hayden Buckley

Submitted to Contest #40

All the air in my lungs whooshed out at the same time. Leaving me breathless and startled. Slowly a smile crept onto my face, flipping my thick, dark hair to the side I let a spray of water fall on the bikini-clad Mika, suntanning at the front of the boat. She let out a yelp, pulled down her sunglasses, jokingly glaring at me.“What was that for Thalia?” she asked. “Nothing,” I said sweetly. “But maybe if your dumb ass brother knew how to drive his boat, I wouldn’t loss my balance every time we turn.” I said loud enough that Daniel could...
