“Creative Boss Lady (CBL)” by Dream Writer

Submitted to Contest #89

Creative Boss Lady (CBL) I was inside the shop when I heard a young damsel telling her girlfriend “If any dude that has no money comes my way, I will keep him silent.” Placing emphasis on her speech, she was 45% right. Because these days, no damsel want to date a “broken-pauper” (BP) anymore! And any dude who is indigent isn’t qualified to approach a damsel this day according to present day “Manner of Dating System” from girl’s perspective, which is “Pessimist-System”. Well, that’s the psyche of most damsels, and it is a deceased mindset...

“Officer Ginger” by Rose Quartz

Submitted to Contest #89

As I grew older, I was faced with the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Since I was a girl, I was questioned whether I wanted to be a teacher, a nurse, or an artist. I didn't want to do any of that. I was tired of the stereotypes regarding what women should be opposed to what men should do. Why was being a cop seen as a man thing? Why couldn't women be the ones doing the parkour? I was going to change that. I want to be the best damn cop out there, and they would not refuse me because I am a girl. I will show them why girl...

“Yeah, Merlin. You Know, From IT” by Renee Cole

Submitted to Contest #89

The importance of wellies in the wet, boggy English countryside could not be understated in Maren’s opinion. Especially if red with yellow butterflies, she thought, shaking off a clump of mud from the heel. She only made it a few steps away from the tour bus before she stepped into a sinking, muddy mess. She scowled, muttering in a tempered Scottish brogue, “Oh, you are kiddin’ me,” Her nephew-- the reason for this excursion to the middle of nowhere Glastonbury-- burst into peals of laughter. Maren buried a smile underneath a facade...

“War of Hearts” by Aida Fakhry

Submitted to Contest #89

123rd Ave, Parkland County I let my breaths run loose through the thickening winded airs of Maryland as I slammed my body against the shielded realm. It was protected. Of course, this was the Azerial Hawke realm; he was the last man to survive what some like to call “The Women War.” I just call it a victory. We hadn’t had any commotion between ourselves since the war ended; everything was calm and still. But everything that dies comes with sacrifice; I knew this. I knew this first hand. I dared myself to face the war as a single soldier d...

“She Waits” by Francis Daisy

Submitted to Contest #89

His angry music playlist was blaring, so she knew exactly what kind of mood he was going to be in when she re-entered the room. Every song, every lyric degrading and demeaning. Her least favorite song being a spin on an old Camp Fire song, “The Cat Came Back.” But this group wasn’t singing about a cat being better when she’s down on her knees. This was a new form of waiting. She had spent years waiting for him. What strange irony life has that now she is actually truly waiting on him. She stared down at the purple latex gloves on her hands a...

“Vittorio” by John Del Rio

Submitted to Contest #89

He hadn’t always been a killer. He had started life as an adorable, chubby babe. From outward appearances, his early life had been quite idyllic and indeed, even privileged. His family was descended from a minor Italian noble house; more wealth than importance really. His mother had encouraged him to join the clergy, and he had been in his first year of seminary school when the Great War erupted. His experiences over his several years at War definitely changed him. In particular it was his time in the chalky trenches during what ...

“The Mirror ” by M C

Submitted to Contest #89

It was a normal night just like all the other nights in my life where I got into bed after a long day and curled up under the covers and rested my head on the cool smooth pillow and drifted off to sleep. But isn’t that how all these things start. I drift off and the world fades away and I am left with just my thoughts to keep me company as my brain starts to crank the gears on a production of my next dear as I sit back and watch. But that’s when I see it, a mirror but not a normal mirror, it’s strange, it looks ...

“Will She?” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #89

HI people of the world! This is officially my first story here on this platform. I hope ya’ll like it. I certainly had fun writing this. And I hope you also enjoy reading as much as I did. -JLuuu –––––––––––––––––––––– I totally missed the wet floor sign. I slip and fall on my bottom because of it. You clumsy boy, the voice of my mother says in my head as heat rises from the embarrassment. I feel the glances of other passersby, their stares razor-sharp and screaming invisible remarks. I shrug it off as best I can. They’re petty commen...

“Hope” by Joao Pedro

Submitted to Contest #89

The crimson colour of newborn sunlight accentuated the nine-month lump in Elsie’s belly. Twelve whole minutes, she counted, had passed since her last contraction; enough time for her husband, Caleb, to get into his best three-piece suit. She vowed never to lack appreciation for those candid moments in which nature did its job without causing her excruciating pain, and she would have done so if not for her husband’s stubbornness. “I just don’t know why you can’t take a break.” She said. His eyes barely diverted from his undone necktie. Fr...

“The Redeemer” by Aburrow Marsh

Submitted to Contest #89

Aiken rose with the dawn, blinking at the whitish remains of his campfire. The sun was a half-lidded red eye observing a parched and ghostly world. Aiken turned his head and blew a gob of snot out of his nose. He was filthy and foul, a creature of hard times. Soot and grime besmirched his gray uniform, which likewise besmirched his soul. He’d been unable to shed it but planned on getting a new outfit at the first opportunity. With a croaking yawn, he sat up straight, like Lazarus emerging from some hole in the ground. The sky was purpled-ove...

“Another Chance to Move On” by RIC .

“What’s wrong?” They remained silent, the only sound coming from them was their muffled breath under the helmet. Grabbing their hand and giving it a light squeeze, that managed to get their attention. They looked up at her, with that strange bronze lioness helmet. “What’s wrong?” she repeated. The armor-clad per...

“Without Direction” by Sean Smith

Submitted to Contest #89

It would’ve been a few years of consistency, complacency and all around mundane living, but his interior had other plans. Something warped on the reclusive side of his mind and there was a strength that came with the change. A strength that could not be matched or surpassed. The lower, lurking recesses of his thoughts grew. Broader, bolder, unabashed in their assault on the tender and comforting side of his psychosis. So what once was a balancing act became an incline and it was his to climb. Like Sisyphus, forever against the weight of his ...
