“Limbo” by Rajesh Patel

Submitted to Contest #105

I am not sure for how long I was asleep. I just woke up and I am somewhere that I have never been. That I have never seen. I feel cold. I feel solitude. I feel silence. I feel peace. I feel the light. I feel the darkness. I feel calmness. I feel bizarre. What is going on? Where am I? To whom can I ask questions and seek answers. I see no souls around me. It seems like a vacuum. No sound. I can hear myself in my mind only. I am trying to move forward towards the light. I have been walking for three hours and it seems like I wil...

“Potential” by G.E. Campbell

Submitted to Contest #105

The windows to the soul. Deep and personal. There was something alluring about the eyes of Simon Byles. One was pale, yet had the captivating beauty of an ocean, pulling you in with every wave. The other, a dark hazel. In the right light, golden flakes shone with his adorning smile. The way he casually flicked through the pages of the novel he was holding, the more interesting he seemed. His Watcher, Jameson Smith, could see everything Simon could see. The fires, the battles, the hunger for passion and romance. These things were heavy ...

“The Prison Camp” by HBR Patel

Submitted to Contest #105

'Keep up the pace, my love,' said Tim to his wife, Eva. 'I am trying. The pain is holding me back,' said Eva. Tim looked down to Eva's right thigh, where a bullet went through. The only good thing about that bullet wound was that it stopped bleeding. Tim attended to the bullet wound instantly, and that helped stop the bleeding. But the Diclofenac failed to make its impact. 'I am feeling dizzy,' said Eva holding her hand and running simultaneously. Tim stopped and looked at her. They were escaping the prison compound. The alien sp...

“ SHUT UP” I threw my phone away it was annoying I couldn’t handle it. “ wake up lazy head, and why the hell is your phone on the floor?” My mom picks my phone , puts it beside me and then she pulls the sheets off of me. “ HEY”. “ Don’t make me drag you out”. “Ok mom I’m up”. ” good”.

That’s weird, it’s p...

“While You Were Plotting” by Kevin Roller

Submitted to Contest #105

Don't you have anything better to do? his brother asked.Sam Roebuck smiled. Not at the moment, he thought back. But you seem rather busy at the moment.Not everyone can swill whiskey and idly write all day, his twin brother, Liam Roebuck, thought as he entered the warehouse. Triple homicides don't solve themselves.And best sellers that pay for the lake house don't write themselves, either, Sam retorted. Now shut up and do your job.Liam glanced at a nearby window and gave his reflection the middle finger. Sam grinned wider. He and his brother ...

“My Mothers Eyes” by Stacey Iannazzo

Submitted to Contest #105

My mothers glasses. I kept them in a drawer. They had been there for almost 10 years. Truth is I kept them there because I didn’t know what else to do with them when she died. She’d been cremated after a long and painful fight with lung cancer. The disease was cruel, slowly chipping away at the person she was before. Her body diminished, refused to gain weight, and oxygen tubing ran around her once rosy cheeks. She had no energy at the end, no energy to do much else but watch the tv and wait for visitors. I would visit, at 40 years...

“Enacting the Unfamiliar and the Unknown” by Zain Faaris

Submitted to Contest #105

I CANNOT believe what I am looking at!It’s…..breathtaking! Jaw-dropping! Awe-inspiring…..I have only come across this through third-person accounts. Through the tales told by those who are no longer with us. Through reading texts that have been long since forgotten, its language having morphed into something else, entirely.I was tempering my expectations, trying to rationalize myself that what I might end up seeing, won’t be as spectacular and grandeur as I might imagine myself of it being. Since I love fleshing out my imaginative streaks in...

“The Superhero Swap” by LM Konkel-Dixon

Submitted to Contest #105

Villains attacked all the time. Society adjusted as much as it could in the face of blatantly overpowered beings using said powers over others. Heroes, either solo or in groupings, arrived swiftly at every scene, but there were casualties. Always casualties. Adria grew up in this chaotic world, and while most of her peers revered heroes and were more than happy to rely on them for their wellbeing, Adria was not. She shucked her rose-colored glasses early in life, favoring the cold hard reality to easily broken lies. Adira worked hard, took e...

“I LIKE YOU JUST BECAUSE...” by Briana Jolie

Submitted to Contest #105

The sweet, old, musky scent wafting to my nose as it lingers to every flipping page, reading the book: “I Like You Just Because”, in this little park bench, a wooden seat made of a strong narra tree that is neatly varnished was my best sitting place. The much-needed fragrant, a humbling breeze of air with the sun shining brilliantly in the clear, blue sky giving me the picture-perfect day. Swaying my feet as I sit, and ecstatically reading the phrases “I like you because… and I like you just because”. It didn’t take an aeon for the changing ...

“I See Through A Glass Darkly” by George Davis

Submitted to Contest #105

I See Through A Glass Darkly—George Davis This bizarre tale began three years ago. It was the strangest occurrence one might experience. I could see through another person’s eyes. No longer was I, Alfred Middleton the bright, witty man I’d known for the last forty years. I became a new person. Pardon me for blowing my own horn. I say all this to help you understand what has happened to me. I was a teacher at Bickford High School for fifteen years, graduating from the University of Maine, magna cum laude. A fir...

“Sugar Moon” by Hannah .

Submitted to Contest #105

The pearly white moon shone over me. I was covered in grime. Plumping myself on the rocking chair, the frail object broke into shreds. I scowled. I stood up, wandering around the peculiar room. A neon jar rolled across the room. Picking it up, I carefully examined it’s label. Another jar, this time purple, rolled across the room. I set the neon jar on the desk and picked up the purple one. I was still curiously observing the item when a gigantic sky blue jar fell from the ceiling. Appalled, I became silent. After a little while, I gradually ...

“A Glimpse Through Her Eyes” by Monica Doria

Submitted to Contest #105

I hated her. The mere thought of her elicited tears of anger out of me. I detested her existence and literally cursed the day that we met each other. And, given the choice, I would have wanted her to disappear, just completely disappear from my sight so that I will no longer be reminded by the hellish days that I have spent near her. How can she bear to ruin another girl’s school days? Have she even considered me as her classmate or even as a human being like her, or was I just a mere easy victim for a bully like her? But one day…one sing...

“Hindsight” by Joe Swanson

Submitted to Contest #105

When I fell, I thought nothing of it. I’d fallen before. Some would say I was clumsy, some that I should know better. Being old has its advantages, being steady on ones feet is not one of them. Some nice young lady helped me up, picked the things that had fallen from my bag from the sidewalk, and placed them in my bag, and handed it to me with a smile. I thanked her for her kindness and sat on a bench by the street to gather my thoughts. We have a lot of benches here, there are a lot of us old reptiles crawling aroun...
