“Windomoore Windows” by Aimee R.

Submitted to Contest #97

Delia Windomoore was a normal sort of girl. She was 17 years old, lived in her grandmother’s old house, and made windows. Now, anywhere else, making windows at 17 would be considered weird.

“The First Road” by Aimee R.

Submitted to Contest #90

Rowan scratched on the paper with her pencil, sketching an outline of a monkey on a tricycle, her face deeply in thought. Wrong stroke! She thought.

Submitted to Contest #84

What date is it today? I thought as I flipped through the calendar, browsing the dates and the cool pictures that laid beside them. Tuesday? Or a wednesday. I think it’s Saturday. Or is it Thursday? I sat in my hospital bed, clutching the sides as a kind nurse stepped over, her hands soft as they stuck the needle into my wrinkled skin. Ow. I could hear the heart monitor pulse, just like my fading heart,...

“Genie's Star” by Aimee R.

Submitted to Contest #83

Genie passed the rugged stone building of the school. No siree, not today would she be going to class, the books there worn and old, the pages falling apart with one tail flick. Instead, she would head to the library. The smell of pure paper wafted towards her nose. She swam over to one of her favorites, Star Sea. As she flipped to her favorite page, she read, “The stars can be seen at stardusk, for 20 minutes. ...
