“Chance Meeting” by Paul McDermott

Submitted to Contest #104

Chance Meeting A pair of tiny, gold-flecked orbs stared at him. The pupils narrowed, vertical feral slits unlike any Ryan had ever seen. He sensed alarm, even panic, and realised these emotions were not his own. They belonged to … whoever was watching. They resolved as the features of a perfect, delicate face: one which had no page or chapter in any book listing the flora and fauna of the natural world. A foot in height, female in form: hair the colour of purest gold cascading to her waist and held in place by a coronet plaited from fr...

“A get together ” by Madhumitha D J

Submitted to Contest #104

We were all excited for her marriage. A friend in our gang is getting married. Yay! We connected with our gang through a video con call. We wanted to celebrate this joyous moment but each one of us were far from the bride's place. So we made a plan for the get together in the coming weekend before she, the bride to be gets busy with the wedding preparations. The seven of us planned to meet her and do shopping for the wedding. We all travelled from around the state, to be with her. The place, bustling city of the state. We reached her place...

“A Night Out” by Raven T

Submitted to Contest #104

Yue didn’t torture Yang per say, but she enjoyed keeping the girl on her toes from time to time. Times like tonight, with the full moon round like a dinner plate, feeding the crevices and alleyways of the city below with a soft white glow. Was there really anything better to do than to run barefoot across construction beams? Yang’s ponytail bounced behind her head. “I need to be down there!” she said, gasping. Chestnut bangs swung messily, covering her forehead. “They need me for the opening ceremony.” In response, Yue’s long chalky fing...

The Great Race As the sun sets, sunlight filters down slowly through the trees like sand in an hour glass. If the sand reaches the ground, Draakar will die. Tension is high, and drones are seen, but not by the Draakar...

“Freaks In a Petting Zoo” by Lennox Ducksworth

Submitted to Contest #104

We were used to being unseen and if we couldn't be unseen, we’d damn sure find a way to right after. That’s why they called us “deterrents.” We were “deterred” from ever having a regular life again, from being anonymous like any other classmate, and omitted from ever not being known as the outcasts, freaks, and the notorious in our school. Our school. A school filled with only superhuman teenagers, hidden from the world, somehow, we became the outcast among the outcasts. They weren't expecting us though, that’s for sure. They weren't expecti...

“I’d Rather Be On My Couch” by Kim Lemieux

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you almost ready?” Tammy’s voice sings out of my phone. “No, I’m not going.” “Don’t be silly, of course you are going!” “I’m already in my pajamas.” “Joey Kalisto is throwing a huge party tonight and Bobby Sherman is working security. He guarunteed he can get us in. We cannot miss this opportunity. It’ll be fun. Joey Kalisto!”“Reading my book is fun.”“Come on Kelly, you never go out anymore. I miss hanging out with you.” Joey Kalisto. ...

“Hate The Date” by Lee Taylor

Submitted to Contest #104

A red neon sign blinked ‘Jays Pub and Grill,’ bathing the jammed parking lot and the interior of Olivia’s sedan in a pulsating crimson glow. She paused with her hand on the ignition key and her beautiful face contorted as she glanced around. This is not how she imagined their first date would be. She had met Aaron at a business leadership conference and they had been chatting on different social media platforms for several months now. As she took in her surroundings, it was evident that he hadn’t been paying attention to anything she...

“The Extrovert to my Introvert” by AMY-MAY Coetzer

Submitted to Contest #104

Looking out my third-story window I have a full view of the street next to the university. I see all the friends walking and talking in their little groups as they make their way to the clubs and restaurants down the street. They look so jovial. Apart from the dim light coming through my window, my room is eerily dark. I like to keep it that way. The gloom makes me feel hidden, although I find myself longing for what those friends out there on the street have. They walk along as if they don’t have a care in the world. Tonight each of them is...

“Dog Days of Summer” by Nicole Davis

Submitted to Contest #104

Goldie and I made our way up the sidewalk on this hot July day. The app on my phone had said it was 89 degrees, but it felt more like 100 the way the sun beat down with little to no breeze. I hadn’t wanted to walk, but my roommate, Alexa, said “Penny, we need toilet paper. Will you please go to the store? I have finals to study for.” Once Goldie heard the word store, she was barking and carrying on like there was no tomorrow. She even brought me her leash off the dryer.So, here I am walking my lovable golden retriever uptown to the sto...

“Red” by Floraine Thwin

Submitted to Contest #104

Red The girl was running so fast on the corridor of national college. Everyone was stunning over at the sight of her. Because she wore scottish traditional dress in modern style and backpack and running as a marathon. Then, she ran up to the high level and get inside the classroom. She put down herself on the chair right in front of the teacher’s desk. She took off her backpack and put it on the desk. And then, she waited for others to come. She looked at her watch and she s...

“"BONJOUR"” by Prosper Rwothomio

Submitted to Contest #104

' BONJOUR MONSIEUR' At the distant coast, I destined with wonders in my palm. For the very first moment in my being, seduction of heart overwhelmed me. My eyes stuck in merriment. Then I pressed close just to wonder about the beauty, but long before my eyes had fallen into her heart. With a faint smile in my faulty eyes, 'good morning' I pondered. To keep me at a content, her throat uttered fresh like banana juice, bonjour monsieur, she replied which amazed me more than amused me. I was stuck in the middle of truth and trying to get som...

“Misreadings” by Roux White

Submitted to Contest #104

I’ll never understand it all. “Come to prom with me!” CeCe squeals and bounces on my bed sending my Psychology textbook flying. I turn around to acknowledge her. I studied her. “It’s going t-to be noisy and loud. Too m-many people. Not to mention the overwhelming stench of cheap perfume mixed with fruit punch.” I get off the bed to retrieve my book. “No thank you.” “It’s not going to be noisy. There won’t be speakers ‘cause it’ll be a silent prom with headphones and everything. We can’t really get rid of the perfume, but I promis...

“The Worst Date of My Life” by Lynn Wadsworth

Submitted to Contest #104

“You know I hate it when you set me up on these dates.” Claire groaned as her best friend led her into the bar. “Please just give this guy a chance. He’s cute, and he’s a guaranteed lay.” Sophia begged, turning to Claire and holding her hands. “You haven’t had sex in months.” Claire had yet to tell Sophia her biggest secret. Sophia didn’t know that no matter how this guy looked she wasn't going to be interested in him. She was already in love. “Sophia, please don’t make me do this.” Claire tried to pull back but Sophia dragged ...

“A Walk in the Rain” by K.Z Fox

Submitted to Contest #104

It wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t raining. The breeze from the shore reminded me of lazy summer days. I would listen to the songbird's chatter above the edge of the lake. Sometimes I would chase them, but Lacy never chased them with me-no matter how many times I asked. She loved to be here too. She especially loved the water.Lacy and I would run together, sand caught in our toes as we dived headfirst into the lake. The algae would get caught across my face since I was much shorter than her. Lacy would laugh, then plaster them across ...

“The Dark Eyed Man” by Ambar Sánchez

Submitted to Contest #104

TW: drugging, kidnapping "Have you seen him?" "Seen who?” I had to follow her eyes to find the man she was staring at. The problem was not the way she was staring at him, but the fact that he was also staring at us, was he smiling? I don't know. The first thing of him I saw were his black eyes, maybe they looked black because there was not too much light in the bar and when I realized he was smiling at us, I looked somewhere else. “I’ve seen him, can you please stop staring at him? It’s weird" I whispered to Leigh. "I can't, he's doing the s...
