“vow 2 u” by Dayzgone Bye

Submitted to Contest #105

I could hear her in the chaos, taking her breath. Guns drawn, not yet blazing, and I said, “Are you gonna be okay with this?” She looked at me. I wanted to say, Yeah, of course I’m talking to you. But she knew. She always knew. The first bullet fired, ripping through the air. “Are you okay?” she asked me. I glanced down. No. Nothing was all right — not the endless violence and not the war wagering and not the here she was in harm’s direction not two years after my vow to protect her against every kind of bad. “I love you.” I sa...

“Moon Koi” by Catherine Bradford

Submitted to Contest #105

“Do you really think this is necessary? You're at the top of pretty much every class. You don’t have to master every type of magic just because Velin is good at it,” Izuki said, setting a thick tome on psychic magic on the table. Raahan raised her eyebrow, “Yes I do. I’m not about to let Velin beat me in anything.” Raahan flipped through the massive book, looking for the best spell to practice. Izuki eyed her friend from across the table, “you kno...

“Destructive Beauty” by Hayo Abd

Submitted to Contest #105

Even though her heart was still beating, Amy Dawson had died long ago. No one could tell when or where it happened, but those who were part of her death dwelled on the delusion that she was ever alive, to begin with. Yet her death itself was an illusion, for as I sat right in front of her, I couldn’t tell if I was speaking to her soul or her body. She gave no sign of my presence, except that she would rather not have me there. For a brief moment of silence, I considered listening to her heartbeat, to see if it were loitering in a world as fa...

“Through anothers eyes” by James Mckinley

Submitted to Contest #105

The room was quiet; all you could hear was the sound of breathing. Alex was sitting on the side of the exam table waiting for the doctor to come in. His brother Mark was in the room with him along with his mother. It had been what seemed like an eternity since the accident had taken his eyesight. Now after nearly two years of waiting on a donor and 6 weeks after the surgery, he would finally learn if the transplant took, he would finally find out if he can see again. The door opens and the doctor walks in. Hello he says with a cheerful dispo...

“Cost: Free.97” by Erin W

Submitted to Contest #105

When River was crawling on the floor, asked, "Are we on free.99 or is it free.97?" his vision was blurry. As a matter of fact, River was entitled to be angry. It was Quinn who tricked him into awakening a ghost. She knew the ghost would be stupid enough to think they were a couple. As she stood there, she felt weird seeing her body because she couldn't control it. She had no choice but to crawl on the floor. It felt weird to hear his voice every time he spoke. As hard as she tried to keep her gaze fixed on the mirror, it was exhausting. Whil...

“Have you ever heard the expression 4 eyed?” by Kathy Landes

Submitted to Contest #105

When you are first conceived and grow in the womb your eyes develop like a creature of the water. At birth you are introduced to the brightness of light. When you become an adult, if you choose to you can expand your mind and attunement to your surroundings by changing your mental outlook. One way of doing this by meditation or putting yourself into a trance. What you need to understand is that if you get heavily invested in this you might have some really interesting experience. In fact, some people would swear they were o...

“Review - Rewind” by McKeon Gardella

Submitted to Contest #105

Review-Rewind“I would like to try something on you Mike,” Dr. Strawberry said to his disturbed patient. “I just want to make sure you’re onboard. It’s experimental and could be disturbing.”“Disturbing? How worse can it get?” Mike asked his psychologist who gave a nonchalant shrug.“Mike, I had a friend that started having disturbing thoughts just like you. He’s a super guy that didn’t have a violent bone in his body, just like you.”A few months back Mike started having fits of rage and violent tendencies.“What happened to your friend?” Mike a...

“Shades off” by Ireoluwa Olutunmibi

Submitted to Contest #105

My feet touch the carpeted rug on my bedroom floor as I get up to yet another summer day, sunny, as usual. "It's summer!" I scream in my mind, joy lighting my insides. I start to smile when I remember that I have a huge reason to be distressed. More distressing than the fact that I haven't spoken to my twin brother Paul for nine years now, (exception of the normal courtesy) since he put an electric iron to my face, scarring me for life. I dash out of my bedroom then dash back to get my pink shades. I wear them everywhere, even inside m...

“The Boy With the Different Eyes” by S Rose

Submitted to Contest #105

Seattle, Washington April 28th, 1989 “Richard, I’m worried.” She whispered, fighting back tears as she held her stomach. “What if he hates me for not being there to guide him through this?” “Just breathe Lila, he will be okay. I will be there for him every step of the way.” He softly responded, stroking her hair gently, attempting to reassure her, knowing nothing truly could.“It’s only April, August is a while away, we have time.” “I was born early, it’s in our blood, he could com...

“The Helper” by M.C. Romero

Submitted to Contest #105

Rex Helper made his way down the antiseptic hallway of building WH-3470, blinking his eyes as they adjusted to the dim, blue light. A loud mechanical hum buzzed along the hall but for workers like Rex, who would spend their whole lives inside such a building, it was as good as silence. He sighed with each step as he continued down the long hallway, passing doorway after doorway lit in the same artificial blue, his mind on his after-shift plans. His life passed in shifts, not time. An hour, a week, months, and years - there was no dif...

“The one-sided switch” by Manya Mod

Submitted to Contest #105

"Wake up Hunny, quick, you've got just 15 minutes to get ready," my dear mother urged me as she started pulling off my blankets. I didn't have the strength to open my eyes and so, just laid there, groaning and grumbling under my breath. Suddenly, my blankets were yanked off me, the cool morning breeze hitting my bare skin, and a loud and stern voice shouted, "Lillian Rose Garcia, if you don't get up immediately I will give your ps5 to Nathan!" That got me up right away, faster than you could even blink and I'm surprised I didn't get whip...

Are you excited? His voice rang out inside Kara’s head. Excited for what? Kara questioned absentmindedly still working on her art coursework. Excited that we’ll finally get to see each other tomorrow! We’ll finally be able to meet tomorrow now that you’ll be 18! It’s in the official soulmate handbook that when both parties in a soulmate bond turn 18, they will be able to meet each other in person and know the names and appearances of each other. Ah. That.

“Eye Witness” by Rebecca Hackney

Submitted to Contest #105

This isn’t my room. These aren’t my clothes. This, this is not my face Rae thought looking in the mirror. Looking around she noticed blankets on the windows and locks on the bedroom door. What is this place? Where am I? She went towards the window trying to look out but her ankle dragged on something, looking down she saw a heavy chain padlocked around it. What is going on? Scared she tried to scream but nothing came out. The bedroom door snapped open and a heavy set woman stood there staring at her. She was talking but Rae couldn’t make out...

“Honour ” by Emmanuella Ameevor

Submitted to Contest #105

Javan had made his decision. "You are coming with us." He said. "Are you out of your mind?" Kara asked immediately. A look into his brother's eyes told Javan he stood alone. Nicholas folded his arms. "What do you mean by that brother?" Nicholas asked Javan. "Stay with the Queen." Javan instructed Miriam, ignoring his brother's question. He made a signal to Kara and Nicholas to follow him out the hut. The evening was cool and quiet. Kara thought it lacked the pale moon she was used to seeing. She stopped Javan when she felt they...
