Prologue Books, a window to the world is a phrase that everyone must have heard at least once in their lifetime. I love books, they fascinate me. I couldn’t even imagine a world without them. Ranging from children’s books to magic scripts, I have read many of them. Part 1 “Again?” The librarian frowned at me. “S-sorry,” I apologized. “This is your thirteenth time, The Goddess won’t be pleased you know,” she reminded me. “I-I know,” I agreed. “If you knew, w...

The Flowery Murder

Submitted to Contest #86

Prologue “Yo, it’s been a while hasn’t it?” I said as I turned my smoke off in front of her. “Things got pretty hectic for me, so how’s your day?” I asked her as I took a bouquet of flowers out of my bag. “Not much huh?” I said as I spread the flowers that I had brought for her. “Well, I have to go now. I need to help the police with the questioning me, see you,” I waved my hands as I left. Part I I laid back on my chair with my t-shirt off,...

I'm no Holmes

Submitted to Contest #83

“There’s someone here,” I called the recepsionist of the hotel where I’m staying right now. I was asleep and had just woken up due to the mysterious light and sound out of the shower. “Someone? It must be your imagination sir,” she said. “The toilet lights are on and I could hear the sound of a shower.” “Wait a minute sir, please let me check.” “Make it quick please-” I saw it, a finger turned the phone off. I then looked up, it was a man around his 30s. A naked blak haired man who had just c...

They don't trust me

Submitted to Contest #80

15:02 PM “Run!” BOOM! A loud sound could be heard from the east, west, north, south of the town. Not only that but it could be heard from 500km away from us. “Watch out!” My mother had pushed me away from the derbies that were about to fall. “I’m so sorry, we should have believed you,” she apologized. “Dad, where’s dad? Camila too, is Aunt Clara dead?” My body couldn’t stop shaking. “W-we’ll find them, d-don’t worry…” We then ran out of the house. ...

Betrayal in murder

4:17 PM, streets “Bro, what are we going to do now?” “We’ll take cover for now,” “Where?” “I know just the place,” 4:35 PM, at the nearby police station “How is he?” “Dead?” “Time of death?” “3:46 PM,” “Place of death?” “The street across that new building,” “Any other information on the victim?” Two men in blue shirts and black jeans conversed. With a gun on their pockets, a badge on their chest. Yes, as you migh...

Estranged apple

Submitted to Contest #79

March 26th, 1968 I had my gun, a glock to be precise with me tonight. I had it on my right hand underneath the table as I sat in the corner with a smile next to my two lovely parents. They were the best parents that I could hope and wished for. My mother is not that pretty, my father is not that handsome and I did not care. Do you think that I was going to say that? Why would I bring my gun if it were. If you believed it, jokes on you then! March 24th 1968 I had heard this message from my men. I stood up and h...

I should have listened

Submitted to Contest #79

“What the fuck,”.... Not quite amusing words came from a man who had just woken up. What the fuck, that was what he said. He then scratched his head as soon as he opened his phone. RING, RING. He then left his phone at his bed. RING, RING, RINGGG. He opened the shelf above him and took out a bag of coffee. Black, a black coffee. No sugar, no milk, just pure black coffee. He then took his bath as he boiled the water. A few minutes later you could spot smoke caming through his window. He had taken his bath, ...

Happiness in unhappiness

Submitted to Contest #68

This was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, or at least that's what they thought. Earlier this morning his wife over cooked the meat that they were supposed to enjoy, yet they finished it with non left. Later on, they had received the wrong coffee from what they ordered. After finishing their usual coffee, they went straight to the place that they've been aching for. He left the pile of work that he had, she left the laundry untouched. Rain then falls, more cars are in sight. They went from 80, 60, to 20....
