“Anticipation” by Laura Dvoran

Submitted to Contest #104

The moral of this story would have to be my persistence for getting things right the first time. I strive myself on preparing for the worst and it seems to have gotten the better of me. I was looking forward to spending a lovely evening with a dear friend of mine who I had not seen in years. He and I went to college together and we drifted apart and I was looking forward to catching up on old times. This get together was brought on my an email I received a few days ago and wasn't sure I was ready to see him again. The last time we ...

“Ain't No Mountain High Enough” by Jeannie Labelle -Potvin

Submitted to Contest #104

“I’m never going out with you again!”The words echoed through Ginny’s skull. She’d heard them a few times throughout the seven decades of her life.Sometimes the words went in one ear and straight out the other, a direct line so to speak.Sometimes they got trapped in the sticky cells of her brain and then trouble began.The words would change from a simple interpretation to one that left Ginny sobbing in a corner ready to throw in the towel. Many had tried to control her over the years.She had been threatened with expulsion, banishment, s...

“It Didn’t Matter, She Liked You” by Charlotte :)

Submitted to Contest #104

”You didn’t need to bring that up,” I mutter. We nearly reach her car when I speak up. Mya turns her head to meet my eyes. “Bring up what?” She asks. Stuffing her wallet back into her pocket, she pulls out her phone. “What you said about my…” I pause like I‘ve been frozen. “…my crush.” She begins typing on her phone, not even looking up she says, ”It wasn’t a big deal-” “You made me look like a creep! When have I ever ‘stalked her Instagram for hours’? It was as if you wanted her to run ...

“The Edge of a Flat Earth” by Joe Swanson

Submitted to Contest #104

“No one states that the world is flat, unless the words are used as a euphemism to make a point.”“Oh, I don’t know. There are a lot of people who have their minds set on just being disagreeable. You know, the person who if you are in favor of something they are most assuredly against it. Some people like to exaggerate a cause or an idealism, to gain the attention they crave. They know it is not commonly held belief, or so it is said about declarations like that. There are also those who believe we are all part of elaborat...

“Time, Again” by JOY DEEP SAHA

Submitted to Contest #104

Time, Again By JOY DEEP SAHA Before we met, he showed me his journal. I must admit that this series of events still puzzles me as I think you must be puzzled by my choice to leave your life so abruptly. I've gone over everything in my mind over and over again and can't get rid of the sense that everything is somehow jumbled up. While this may seem like a flawed argument, it is reason enough to me. I don't understand it. Therefore, I'm going. Before we met, you showed me your journal, and then we had sex on the hardwood floor of your li...

“Can Drake help me?” by Taquindle Remington

Submitted to Contest #104

I glanced at myself in the mirror, taking note of myself before the big night. My blingy chains and iced-out watch were sure going to make an impression. “Geez,” I said aloud. I looked like a million bucks. Dare I say billion? Let me not get ahead of myself. “Let’s see,” I thought to myself, “She’s expecting me at 8:30, so I should probably leave a little early. I don’t want to be too early, though. Gosh, adult stuff can be difficult.” I stared at myself without moving for two minutes straight before deci...

“No! Never Again” by Tanya Smith

Submitted to Contest #104

No! Never Again By: Ireland Lorelei It was a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon at Oakland Park Beach in Florida. The breeze coming across the Atlantic Ocean was making the 100-degree weather bearable. The temperature of the ocean water was refreshing and cooling in the heat. It was the first weekend of summer after the pandemic. People were starting to filter out more since the vaccinations had come out and the mask mandates and social distancing guidelines were being lift...

“I Should've Let My Werewolf Friend Party Alone” by Charlie Wisse

Submitted to Contest #104

The last thing I wanted was for Jo to pull me out of my coffin first thing in the night and drag me into a sketchy ass bar. She had been begging to go out to this new place for weeks and for some reason she wanted me, the hermit vampire, to tag along instead of the other werewolf friends Jo has. When we arrive at the small building, the loud music bleeds through the brick walls. A group of people decked in all black except for their golden medallions stop their chatting to glare daggers at us. My nails dig into Jo’s arm. All she gives is a l...

“"I'm never going out with you again."” by Katie Raby

Submitted to Contest #104

This was not how I had expected the day to go. “Come on, we need to run!” He grasped my hand and pulled me up off the blood stained floor. I had expected a nice coffee date, maybe a walk in the park. “ The police are probably on their way by now.” Pulling me behind him, I turned back hearing the sirens before seeing them but not longer after the red and blue lights followed. I might have even brought him back to my flat if he was really persuading. “Are you deaf, hurry the fuck up or do you wanna spend the rest of your life holed up in jail!...

“La petite mort” by Cherea C.

Submitted to Contest #104

She fell in love with him several years ago. Something about his appealing eyes, his delicious lips, she always yearned for, more than the fresh peaches she saw every summer back home. Something about his broad shoulders, his firm skin and his taut body reminded her of the caramel sweets she received on Halloween, trick or treating in town with the other children under the pumpkin sky. Something about him made her want to risk her own walls, her comfortable protection, her safety and security, in exchange for the strobing lights, carousel sh...

“Wet & Wild” by E.C. Nickelson

Submitted to Contest #104

A/N: This is a true story from the past couple weeks of my life. However, the names are falsified for obvious reasons. ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ “That may be the name of the park, but I am in no way responsible for you getting wet and wild.” His newly adopted New Zealand accent slightly lilted his words. ”Okay, Asshole.” She laughed into the phone. ”So, are you going to tell me what you have for me?” Her eyes sparkled in the dim lighting of her shared bedroom as she briefly considered spilling her guts. “No, my love. Your curiosity is my assuran...

“The Retreat” by Bob E

Submitted to Contest #104

This is going to end with my girlfriend telling me she’ll never go out with me again. I know this and yet I move inexorably towards it. Not because I don’t want my girlfriend to come out with me. Not because I’m some kind of masochist. It’s because I’m an idiot. I’m stupid. I may deny it sometimes. You’ll see that for yourself. But, deep down, I accept it as the truth. I let stupid things happen, and then it’s too late. My girlfriend’s nam...

“James Swatt” by Phoebe Nortey

Submitted to Contest #104

Dear diary, One thing about me. I like my peace. Don’t rock my boat, don’t disturb me more than is necessary. Just don’t. Shy and withdrawn but with a sassy tongue and a hyperactive imagination, I still drew people to myself by some form of miracle. Yes I had friends. They saw my awkwardness to be cuteness and I had no point in letting them know the difference. Then drama club happened. Yes, Drama club. One would think someone like me would shy away from something as interactive, as loud as drama club. But it’s all in the name. Nobo...

“The Night Owl” by Stefania Liv

Submitted to Contest #104

Clothes everywhere, make up brushes and eye shadows spread on the bathroom sink and loud punk music blasting through the speakers. That’s it. That’s the dream. Although, Avery needed one more hour to get ready for the dream to be perfect, but she’d had to work with what she had. Nothing could ruin tonight for her, and if someone tried, they’d have to do it over her dead body. It was a tough month for Avery; college exams, important essays, some fights between her friends. But now, all of that was behind her and all she could think about was ...

“A Night to Remember” by Lametria Robertson

Submitted to Contest #104

Content warning: gun violence Lockdown 2020 gave me the freedom to embrace my true self. Introvert to the tenth power. My roommate, Esther and I spent our mornings sleeping in until noon, our afternoons reading or taking short works in our neighborhoods, and our nights watching rom coms until three in the morning. The best part is our jobs went remote, so we did the bare minimum and still got a full paycheck. Life was sweet. Now it’s the middle of 2021, Esther and I are fully vaccinated and she’s ready to let loose. While ...
