However, there is a difference between straying slightly from your assigned path, and diving headfirst into the lake next to it, as the following will highlight. The hero was lying on the ground, face first in the snow. They kept their eyes closed. Maybe, if they t...

“A Night in Southampton” by Danny G

Submitted to Contest #104

I was sitting in my favourite chair reading a book when I heard a knock on the door.“Just ignore it,” I said to myself, turning a page. Knock-knock.“You told yourself you weren’t going out tonight. Especially not with him.”Knock-knock-knock.He’s not going to go away.“Fine”, I sighed, marking my page. I put the book down and stood up, stretching. I headed over to the door and pulled it open. Standing there with a massive grin on his face was Dave. “You ready mate?” he said with his usual cheeriness. He was one of those guys who was alway...

“"3 A.M." ” by Paul Arch

Submitted to Contest #104

"I'm never going out with you again" Sara said. 'You really scared the shit out of me'. Danny didnt apologize, he never did though. Danny was prone to this type of shit. Haunted locations, graveyards, the typical stuff "thrill seekers" get into. Sara was the opposite however, she liked to stay home and get her scares through the t.v., 23 years old and this was her first time doing anything like this. Danny was the exception, his presence had an odd almost intoxicating draw, and aside from tonight, Danny was very sensitive to Sara's "introv...

“The Clock Strikes Twelve” by Judah C

Submitted to Contest #104

Her cousin, Elena, goes through her closet as if she’s her fairy godmother, but Harlem didn’t need a wand waved over her wardrobe just to go to a block party. As usual, her cousin was being overzealous about an outing, but what could one expect from someone who treated a shopping trip like a red carpet event. Usually, Harlem enjoyed her cousin's antics when she was nowhere near them, of course. Who wouldn’t love being around a cousin who treated life just like a movie? The only problem was Harlem didn’t want to be a star. She just wanted to ...

“Mamma Mia Here We Go Again” by Judge Santiago Burdon

Submitted to Contest #104

Mamma Mía Here We Go Again There's a persistent knock at my door. I should characterize it as more of a pounding than a knock. It's 2:19 a.m. and I don't have to guess who would be so rude, so impatient as to disrupt and disturb me at this hour. I'm sure of the identi...

“Helen's Big Date” by David Dicaire

Submitted to Contest #104

Johnny ‘The Voice’ Best was one of the funniest guys on the planet. He had his own TV show at one time. He had his own online blog. His tours were sold out and his recordings all went triple platinum. He was extremely popular and on top of the world. He had legions of fans, but probably none more devoted than Helen Trout. She was a introvert, always shunning the limelight and happy to be lost in the background. Once, she had won a prize at some dance that a friend had dragged her to and the winner almost pass...

“The Perfect Girl” by Jeremiah Benson

Submitted to Contest #104

I wasn’t sure where I was headed in life. I woke up to a new woman in my bed and found her repulsive. I’m not sure if I ever knew where I was headed. She smelled like a skunk. I couldn't believe it. I turned over to what I thought to be an angel and there she was, a beast of a woman. What was I thinking? You know, I never know what I’m thinking until I’ve already thought it. It’s a funny thing. Even right now who knows what thoughts are occurring, that’s why after she asked what I was thinking, I told her to leave. But now in retrospect, it’...

“THE CIRCUS” by Sivaram Govindaraj

Submitted to Contest #104

(This story is set in GAIA2, earth’s twin planet about eight hundred years younger and is still evolving.) That morning Beq was seated in his home on Rubi Isle when his wife Coma joined him. While he was an ordinary happy going man, Coma was a cynic. Now they heard an announcement from the street: “Come and see magician Magi’s tricks! See the horse riders and acrobats showing off their skills. You’ve waited two weeks for this show” Beq said “Coma let’s go and see the show.” “It must be something stupid as usual. The clowns will talk dirty a...

“Empowerment” by Kathleen Manarang

Submitted to Contest #104

I come from an era of what I would call a “bridge” generation. An in-between, a time when the old is slowly being replaced by the new. I went from cassette tapes to compact discs to mp3s, mp4s, and whatnots. From playing from Walkman to Discman to Windows Media Player to Spotify. Saving data went from diskettes to CDs, to USBs, memory cards, and finally to external hard drives and Google Drive. It was a time when desktop computers and dial-up internet were only starting, eventually coming to a tech boom of laptops, iPads, smartphones, DSL in...

“Fiction meets Reality ” by Jessie Winterspring

Submitted to Contest #104

I nod in agreement as I read through the reasons why people should read. One of the classic reasons why fiction is the best is, you get to be in many places without moving your feet. Second, it keeps my mind active without talking to people. This is very important for me, I love the comfort of my room. I love the sight of books surrounding me.The bad thing is that now I'm in love with Hendrick, the main character from "Inside the Future" a romantic crime series."Damn you! You should be nickname Die, you slimy bastard!" I said as read in horr...

“Probabilities ” by Jay -

Submitted to Contest #104

Tinder is shit. Absolutely terrible. I've tried so many dating apps, but none ever find a good match. It's usually just desperate men trying to find a good time. Disgusting. And women? Most are straight, and those who aren't are just looking for money. Honestly, what on earth would it take just to find a partner? Alright, I'll admit. I'm kind of a hypocrite in this situation, since I do have a fuck buddy. Her name is Anne. But it's all for fun. We've known each other for such a long time. When she came out to me as lesbian, I was really hap...

“Talk of The Town” by Lynn R

Submitted to Contest #104

It was the second Tuesday in December and like many other days, the Christmas feeling during this time was way up in the air throughout the city. The hustle and bustle of lights, action and food was roaring from overbooked tables at white tablecloth restaurants to exhausted mixologists, and tired valet drivers. But this didn’t stop Isabella from making sure that her most anticipated year-end party of one hundred and nine adoring friends and acquaintances as guests would be the talk of the town, once again. &nbsp...

“A Tangible Thread” by Aiyana Henderson

Submitted to Contest #104

Socializing. What was the definition of that word in today’s world? Can people truly socialize anymore? Are we social, or has that word lost meaning to other buzz words that enter the pop culture world of celebrities? Jenny didn’t seem too sure about her social life these days. Like many people in her generation of millennials, she was able to keep up with the latest happenings. But dealing with a social life online wasn’t the same thing as hanging out with people in real life. It was boring to communicate with people online! What happened...

“Driver’s License ” by Rihanat Suarau

Submitted to Contest #104

An abrupt knock sounded at my window. I leapt up in surprise, my notebook flying across the room. I sigh, unlatching my window to the figure who had interrupted my study time. His white teeth glowed in the moonlight. “Ready?” My friend, Oliver asked. I rolled my eyes, bounding back to my bed. I landed with a big flop. ”Oliver, it‘s 9 pm! Why would I want to go anywhere?” Oliver hopped over my window frame, coming down to my bedroom floor. “Lacey. It’s Friday, we need to go out and party.” Oliver tried to reason to me. I glared at him, gestu...
