“A Strange Feild Trip” by Mushky Goldberg

Submitted to Contest #40

“Class, we’re going on a field trip next week, Monday,” Miss Handler announced on Thursday, handing out permission slips. “Please, have your parents sign these permission slips and bring along a water bottle and a lunch bag.”I glanced down at the little piece of white paper that landed on my desk. The Aquarium? Does she think we’re babies or something? I thought. “Hey, what’s with the sour face? It could be fun!” That was Camilla.“I guess,” I said, though I completely doubted it. But on the other hand, with Camilla, you never know.Fast ...

“Reunion” by Lindsay Higginbotham

Submitted to Contest #40

Leilani tossed and turned, restless and eager for the sun to rise. She accepted the few hours of sleep she received and rose from her bed. She walked out on her lanai; lighter hues of blue danced on the horizon. She stretched her arms high above her head greeting the sun as it peaked over Mount Haleakala. It was a beautiful morning on the island of Maui, not just for the breathtaking views and the perfect weather. Today, Leilani was meeting up with her best friend for the first time in over a year. They were both born ...

“The River” by Marjolein Maassen

Submitted to Contest #40

“Don’t go too far, okay honey?” Ginny pulled herself away from her mother’s doting hands, and purposely unzipped the top of her coat again. “We’ll be fine, mom.” “I know. But don’t go so far that you won’t be back in time for dinner, alright?” Her mother snuck in a quick kiss on her forehead and Ginny made a face, before turning away and sprinting towards the back door. “Come on, Jack!” She yelled, before throwing the door open and hurdling herself into freedom. They ran across the freshly mown grass towards the trees just near the end of...

“Please Send Help” by Joey Reservoir

Submitted to Contest #40

"Don't jump! You have so much to live for!" shouted my friend Rico. "Jumping into a two thousand foot gorge with a raging river at the bottom isn't exactly what i'd choose to do." I quipped back. I'd never thought that when i signed up for a superhero themed mystery box that i'd be kidnapped by probably rabid monkeys. I looked back and saw my friends Rico, Victor and Jorge tied together to a thick tree, surrounded by monkeys wielding bananas. Those things hurt more than you'd thing. It all started on the last day of Middle School. Rico, Fra...

My Cuban friend Paco who once held from Havana the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba. The city has a population of 2.1 million inhabitants and it spans 281.18 square miles making it the largest city by area, the most populous city, and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region.I can’t say I even knew his real name because I don’t ever recall him telling anyone it. Even his girlfriend of 11 years calls him Paco. I’ve known him for 9 years. That was when The United States...

“It's Always a Kitsune” by Anais Daniella Woods

Submitted to Contest #40

The summer sun was bright and the air was sweet. It seemed like there was no better day in which to take a journey through the lush forest. So, that was exactly what Jay and Annie decided to do. Although they weren’t necessarily going on a journey, they were more so just going to have a picnic and do some entomology of the local habitat. “How are the cicadas doing in the terrarium?”, Annie asked Jay as she continued looking through the surrounding plants. “They don’t seem to enjoy the habitat but at least they stopped hitting themselve...

“Shark Bite” by Jose Sanchez

Submitted to Contest #40

It was John, Jose, and Javi on the boat. They were fishing early in the morning deep in the sea. They had been anticipating this trip for months now. It was Jose’s big fishing boat that was only used for their yearly seven day fishing trip. It was John’s first time going on this trip and it was Jose and Javi’s sixth year going. They had always had a great time on these trips. Some personal time for themselves. They would catch fish early in the morning, crack some cold ones, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together, and overall they would ju...

Submitted to Contest #40

My grandmother used to tell me stories when I was younger, she uttered me her life experiences, even her remarkable stories that she used to listen from her mom about fantasies and she would often deliver me stories from my books. One night I requested her If somewhat misfortune ever happened to her, she looked fearful and her face became pale as she proceeded “well it occurred with me and my friends when we were on our outing to the mountainous zones of the countryside” she continued and told me that it was a real incident of her life ...

“Salad Days” by Keith Avery

Submitted to Contest #40

1The hotel pool room was pure Picasso. The wall paper was a rose and cream decal. The carpet was red, as was the felt on the four pool tables. There was a juke box in the corner, Bob Seger was singing I Feel Like a Number. I was with some mates, drinking, chatting, playing pool.It was my shout. On the way to the bar I passed her. She was wearing blue jeans and black ankle-high boots. Her blue eyes sat in a round face. Her hair was cut to a number four. She wore a black leather biker’s jacket over a grey t-...
