“The Cursed Woods” by Penny Polendina

Submitted to Contest #104

Mysteries weren’t uncommon, in a world like Anila. Anila was a planet with new discoveries always hiding just around the corner, where you could try to go to the local grocery store yet find a hidden magical crystal on the way. It was perplexing to some, thrilling to others, but a major nuisance to most people. But if you thought mystical ruins and cursed spellbooks were bad, then outside the major cities it was even worse. Monsters prowled enchante...

“Murder in the Alley ” by Alondra Romero

Submitted to Contest #104

*Dear reader, some of the physical descriptions of the characters are entirely based and relied on your imagination and creativity* Walking down the muddy and dim alley wasn’t the problem. Walking it with Shay was. It wasn’t because I didn’t like him, I did, it was just the whole night has been disastrous. Spilled coffee, mixup at the cafe, and having a paper due in less than 24 hours. Hours prior, my roommate Grecia, convinced me to meet her at a restaurant to celebrate our 9 months of being roommates. She never showed. Turns out...

“I am jealous.” by Muffin Hill

Submitted to Contest #104

Do you know, you are the most beautiful creature God has ever created? Your existence is phenomenal and no one could ever be comparable to you in anyway. Remember those times we were on a date, when we were laughing on the table, those envious women were looking at us, or you, with jealousy in their eyes. Those waitresses were so nice to you and always came by and pouring for us. I often wonder if they just want to see your beautiful face once more. At the end of each dining, they often had a very reluctant face on them and stared at you. Th...

“Maybe we'll be sisters” by Beth Murray

Submitted to Contest #104

"I'm never going out with you again, Dad!" Ashley said under her breath as she left the dance hall. It was really the school gym, but it was decorated in a theme to make it look like a dance hall. Ashley felt humiliated and completely childish. Andy walked to the car with a bewildered look of fear and confusion on his face. As soon as both doors were closed he looked at Ashley and said, "Sweetheart, I have lost your mother, and I can't bare to think of loosing you. You don't watch the news, you don't hear the reports about the kidnappi...

“Potatoes” by Kayley Dickins

Submitted to Contest #104

Of all the places in the world, they had spent their only day off - like gold dust at the moment - on a potato farm. Familial obligations, a bad case of the flu for Uncle Richard, and a willingness to get out of the city had led them to this point, trying not to bash their heads on the ceiling of the car as they drove down a driveway seemingly made of very inconvenient and very small mountains. The harvesting needed to be done, and somehow that job had gone to them. To be fair, at the time he had not minded, had even been slightly excited at...

“Cassian's ban from Summer Court” by Larissa Jones

Submitted to Contest #104

“So,” Mor began, “I had work to do but no one from Summer Court would be able to meet with me over the weekend. I asked Cassian if he wanted to come to Adriata and spend a few days in the sun. Warm his wings for a few days, that kind of thing. And it was a terrible mistake!” Nesta lifted her eyebrows. “I’m probably not supposed to tell you this story, but Cassian saw these two females and decided he was male enough that he could pull off getting both of them.” Nesta laughed now, of course Cassian had decided he was fae e...

“Never Trust a Snake” by Flora Bell

Submitted to Contest #104

Part of the "Dine in Chaos" story universe.-----Fangs bared in cheeky smiles. A long copper speckled snakes tail thumped against the floor. Two pairs of red and green snake eyes twinkled with glee as they stared down into golden wolf ones."Come on, Faolán," Alastair pleaded, his green eyes begging and hands clasped under his chin. "It will be fun!""No!" Faolán snapped, his nose creasing in a snarl. "Fun for you two is like going to the vet! Terrifying!""Don't act like that," Dušan purred, leaning down to flash his fangs. "We were only trying...

“The Girl” by Trishna Pandey

Submitted to Contest #104

The girl stood looking at her reflection in the mirror with a newly bought scarf twisted in a fashionable twist. She could barely recognize her own reflection. Her reflection was no longer of the lost little girl but of a woman who seemed to be in control of her own destiny. She had joined the house of the Mistress, a house that was an exchange for recruiting spies and assassins whose main trade was information, out of gratitude. The girl owed the mistress her life. She had developed a survival mechanism wherein she would not commit to anyth...

“Coming?” by Beverly Timm

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" Big sigh. Lauren could hear her mother’s voice, “If you’re nice to her, she’ll be your best friend when you grow up!” Only, Lauren’s mother wasn’t talking to Lauren; she was talking to Lauren’s older brother, Ace. Ace was the sibling with the outsized personality. Being Ace’s BFF was always on his terms; his terms were always overwhelming. Let’s start with Ace’s name. Of course, that wasn’t really his name. What kind of parent names their kid “Ace”? Definitely not Lauren’s parents. Lauren’s parents named t...

“A extrovert accidently bumps into a book reader these days.” by Clinton Siegle

Submitted to Contest #104

I was patiently waiting. Yess.. That is the ticket. Patiently waiting. When this extrovert bumps into me. Yess.. That is how most of my life has been. Me? Reading a book. Being patient. And the world? Fate deciding to throw me into a world of adventure and mayhem. This extrovert started talking about reality. Let’s be honest. Reality to me is an interesting topic. Meaning? For you? Well, you have been here some 660,000 in the past two years and no one seems to care to tell you. That you are falling into a black hole. For me? My reality is so...

“Bliss” by Mundi Guyit

Submitted to Contest #104

I was sitting at my favourite corner of the bar when my attention was drawn to the movement of this guy, well, not his movement at first, but his red-dyed dreaded hair and weird mustache - he was a kaleidoscope of both the contemporary and the ancient man. I watched as he approached you in a bid to ignite a conversation. I could almost hear him whimper as you dismissed him with a solid cold stare. "A tough one" I thought to myself refocusing on my drink. The realization was immediate, I instantly noticed myself notic...

“The Script” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #104

Amongst everything in my life, you were my favorite. When my whole life was in chaos and in war with itself, you were there to hold me tightly. You made me believe in things that I didn’t believe in before. You made me do things that I was scared of. I was afraid to go against my parents but you thought me to live the life for myself and to think only about myself. You thought me being selfish is sometimes a blessing in disguise. I didn’t believe you at first. But when life gave me lemons that I didn’t ask for, I understood what it means to ...

“A STICKY ROMANCE” by Michael Williams

Submitted to Contest #104

The week had started out stormy and the greyness held its grip on the landscape for three full days. On Wednesdays, it had become the unspoken rule for all to meet up at the local pizzeria after their last morning class period at Hemmingford High School. This large group of friends participated in many of the school’s extra curricular activities and often weekend plans were set over a slice of pizza and a Coke. “Let’s all meet for the basketball game on Saturday,” Bill suggested. “I’ll go if I can grab...

“NEVER LOVED” by Martha Mlumun Akumbur

‘’Are you coming tonight,” with a smiling face, I asked Dooshima as we both sat down that morning watching television. “Yes, dear why not? you know I cannot afford to miss such an interesting movie,” she answered as we both smiled at each other.Wow!!! I silently said in my heart as I looked dumbfounded at my friend’s beauty, I wondered how God must have spent so much time in designing and redesigning her.My friend Dooshima is a very decent and pretty woman, she is dark in complexion, tall, has a fine figure, her fine face is beautified ...
