Next-Door Neighbor

Submitted to Contest #96

Disclaimer: I really don’t know much about the non-binary/LGBTQ+  community, so I’m sorry if this isn’t correct. I got two requests for characters and felt like they belonged together, so this story was made! Thank you Akshara Parankusham and an anonymous user for creating these wonderful characters! (If you want to make some yourself, the link is in my bio!)  Mikayla was opening her apartment door when she heard voices from the stairwell. She stepped out of her room to see Mrs. Lambert, the apartment owner, leading someone she hadn’t...

Mother and Daughter

Submitted to Contest #92

Kara looked at the dark, gloomy walls of her cell. Usually, they were an ever-present reminder of the limited freedom Kara had, how she was stuck in a jail cell, forced to live out a sentence she didn't deserve.But today, the walls were the last thing Kara was thinking about. Not even their blank, boring concrete could spoil her mood. A counselor was coming today to work at the juvenile prison.Of course, new people were a regular thing at Ember Island Juvenile Correctional Facility. Officers came and went, sometimes only staying an hour or t...

Sacrifice

Submitted to Contest #90

Two months ago. . .“Scientists have discovered that in two weeks, the existence of humanity could be threatened. What they call a ‘climate apocalypse’ will happen. This means that because of rising levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, our atmosphere will eventually collapse, shuttling all of our precious oxygen into space,” the reporter said. I turned down the volume on the TV. “Do you think what he says is true?” I asked Dad, who was scrolling through football game clips. Dad looked up. “The government put a restriction...

Elsie's Return

Submitted to Contest #90

Elsie Bridger looked out the train window. The normally beautiful scenery was a blur of green, blue, and white, quite an unbecoming combination. The train was going to the West, the land of promises, of mountains, of prairies, and deserts. None of which Elsie particularly liked, but she didn't get a choice. She was riding on an orphan train, a train that would bring her to a family looking for a child to adopt. Elsie was eleven, as well as three other girls on the train. They all shared a small room with three bunks, a washstand, and a sma...

Heartbreaks of a Lifetime

Submitted to Contest #86

“There they are,” Stella murmured. “The first baby robins of the year.”  “Prettier than last year’s,” Ethan added, listening to the baby birds’ cheerful chirping. As Stella gazed at the bird's nest high in the tree, Ethan crouched down and picked a few mayflowers that were growing on the forest floor.  “Well, we should probably be getting back home now,” Stella mused after a minute or two. When she turned around, Ethan was down on one knee, flowers in one hand, a sparkly diamond ring in the other. Stella gasped and put her hands ov...

entwined hearts

Submitted to Contest #77

Carlie still wears his ring. Two entwined hearts with pink gems inside them.  Every day is a repeat of the next. Carlie wakes alone, the bed empty beside her. She cooks a small breakfast, barely enough to fill herself up, and walks to the balcony where he gave her the ring all those years before. As if the sheer force of her wishes will bring him back.  What has happened has happened, she tells herself. You can’t change the past or bring people back from death.  Yet something inside Carlie longs to find him, him with the de...

"I am proud to announce we are going to have a cookie competition for the holidays. The best cookies will win the competition and the grand prize of $200!" the mayor, Katie Westerbern says to the town. My best friend Harper elbows me. "We could enter!" she whispers excitedly. "We could, except for the fact that the only thing I can make is peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwiches," I reply. Harper laughs, and people around us shush her. On the first Saturday and the last Saturday of each month, Mayor Westerbern gathers the entire town and annou...

Grandma's Apple Pie

Submitted to Contest #71

"Olivia, we're hosting the annual holiday party this year," my older sister Ashley tells me as she passes my bedroom. Every year at Christmastime, one family in the neighborhood hosts a big holiday party. I guess it's our turn now. Last year, the Smithsons hosted, and Mrs. Smithson went all out. She hired a DJ and had a buffet of delicious food. Kayla Smithson bragged about her party for weeks afterward. I run downstairs to tell my other sister, Megan. Ashley and Megan are twins, but they hate each other, and rarely say a word to each other...

How Two-Way Bakery Came to Be

Submitted to Contest #71

Winter had already kicked in hard in Minnesota, and the news said it was here to stay. I looked down Main Street. The bakery's lights shined brightly on the corner, just by the Christmas tree in the square. Our bakery was the best in town. There are two other bakeries besides ours. They are Ms. Miggin's Treats and the Joyces' bakery. The Joyces are our sworn enemies. When my great-great-great-grandfather opened our bakery, the Joyces’ great-great-great-grandfather opened one too, out of spite. Our families have competed ever since. Yest...
