“It Only Happens in Comics” by 𝔞𝔰𝔥🤍 𝖔.

Submitted to Contest #80

Today, I was meant to go out to the local pond and fish with Brother Zeke. I had begged mum and pulled at her blue, floral bloomers just to ensure that my plans were secure. I had sat on the edge of the pond, rubbing my stubby fingers through the algae, Mama told me it was magic leaves who'd argued and got stuck together. I had always believed in that story, I believed in so many things. Then came the day I found out that the magic leaves were just fungi, that the pond was just a polluted cesspool.

“TWO-FACED” by 𝔞𝔰𝔥🤍 𝖔.

Submitted to Contest #58

If only I could be transient, of and out of this world, I wish I could be as spontaneous and swift as the wind, sifting through leaves and dreamcatchers. I've never been able to change my situation, I may be seventeen, but it feels like my world is crashing, and like I'm the reason for it, the catalyst to this social experiment. Maybe I AM the catalyst to the explosion that is my life. *** "A strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation, doesn't always need togetherness, as long as the friendship lives in the heart, true frien...

“For the Truth, Would You Let Me Go?” by 𝔞𝔰𝔥🤍 𝖔.

Submitted to Contest #47

You slide down the stone veneer walls and unto the shiny mahogany floors of Devin's bedroom as the harsh sting of dwelling tears crowd your vision, everything is suddenly flashing back and you hug your knees in search of closure, something you failed to receive and failed to give. That didn't mean you had any regrets though, it had to be said, it had to be done. Ross was her closest companion, her best friend, the man of her dreams, everything she ever wanted was with him, and you had stepped in and made it all a mess, albeit you had asked f...
