Tales Of Walmart

Submitted to Contest #52

Walmart.Stupid, stupid Walmart.If I had just gone to Safeway, I could’ve avoided everything that had happened.But no. I went to Walmart.*****It started at noonish last Sunday. Normally, I wouldn’t even be out of bed at noon, because weekends are for sleeping in. If I go to the grocery store at all—I’m 15, so my parents do most of the shopping—it’s at midnight or so.Not this time.I had a checklist, okay? It was on PAPER. Weird, I know. Too bad—I only follow a checklist if it’s written out. What was this particular checklist about, you ask? We...

Just Same Old, Same Old (-Not)

Submitted to Contest #52

Windy Davis was just your typical 6th grader.She had wild, strawberry blond hair that fell to her waist; large, gray-blue eyes; and always wore jean shorts and tank tops. Windy Davis took karate, hated when people called her ‘Wendy’, and was bold—she was loud and spoke her mind.She hadn’t done anything wrong, as far as she knew.So it was no surprise when it was an, er, surprise to Windy when she woke up in a dimly lit room.*****Windy had been lying on a cot—the kind at a nurses office: blue-gray leather covered in a sheet of thin paper. The ...

Hello, Weirdness, My Old Friend

Submitted to Contest #52

“Bye! Thanks for the flowers!”  The bell on the door rang cheerfully as I flung myself out of the flower shop, Flower Power. But I felt anything but cheerful. I felt sad, depressed, and frankly, a bit sorry for myself. I know, I know, self-pity is never good. But here’s the thing: People die. I knew that since I was 2. 14 years of knowing people kick the bucket some time in their life. So it’s no surprise that at one point, your best friend and mom are going to die. Here’s the other thing: your mom usually dies when you’re 5...

A Poem By A Star (No, Literally)

Submitted to Contest #51

Author’s note: This story has the same characters as my first short story, Rebel Prince. This isn’t a part two, so you’ll understand it just fine on it’s own, but you might want to read Rebel Prince first to gain better understanding and enjoy this more! I stared up at the stars. They were so beautiful, so peaceful, so awe-insp—“ACK!” I hollered as my dog, Maya, jerked forward. Therefore, her leash jerked forward. Meaning my hand jerked forward, followed by my body.“What was that for, Maya?” I groaned as I wiped the mud off my knees and han...

The World Is Your Playground

Submitted to Contest #51

Author’s Note: Mikka in this story is pronounced “Meeka”. Hi. My name is Kasey Robertson, and my life is food and swimming. For now, let’s focus on ‘swimming’.I love to swim. I’ve been swimming since I was 2–meaning 16 whole years of going to the public pool every day after school. I used to swim for fun, but at age 14, I quit school to do competitive swimming. My job: do what I love, and win money.I was about to go train at the pool when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I sighed, set down my towel, and picked up my phone. Then picke...

Rebel Prince

Submitted to Contest #51

    I just didn’t get it.   Like, at all.   I mean, I tried to understand the thought process of everyone in Tyala—my father especially—but I always wound up in the same place:   100% confuzzled.   Okay? So sue me for not understanding why everything anybody ever wanted was to be plain and normal. To fit in.   I’m not going to do some big speech, or sing some big song like Belle in The Beauty and The Beast about how everybody is mediocre compared to me.   I can’t sing and I can’t judge. Because I’m jus...
