“Oh brother what have I done to yow?” by Alvin Fernandes

“I wanna kill myself!” Patrick jokingly shouted after he was obnoxious with the long, tedious science homework presented to him after the last period of school. To his reply, his 3 minutes older twin brother ironically mentioned if he was going to kill him as for sure they didn’t look as identical as you’d suppose a regular twin would look. Patrick, built like a man-mountain with unshorn twisted hair almost forming curls with a combination of wavy hair. Jackson, meanwhile, wasn’t as bulked up as his brother but was layered with skinniness fr...

“Stockholm Syndrome ” by Alvin Fernandes

Submitted to Contest #103

Two hours before sunset, I stood still waiting under the colorful building, rainbow - like, chewing gum and grasping on my two and a half inch long cigarette. Each puff taken, I’d tally them in my sadistic brain hoping to fill the boredom till my target arrives. My last puff, just before the boy walked out of the building, I choked on my cigar, not to be surprised or anything but I think it was the age that produced that little cough. At long last, here he was thin pieces of bones with a majestic outfit, hair all blown up; the volume of his ...

“Inside Out ” by Alvin Fernandes

Submitted to Contest #96

2018Yes, I was sitting at the corner of the room, the guest room filled with a group of individuals partying. I could literally feel the Goosebumps on my hand being alone and nobody to talk to. My lips were held tight with a grin just to make myself look like I’m having a good time. If you’re wondering what I was doing at this party, let me make this clear. A close friend of mine named Jesse called me over to her friend’s house, where he just moved in and apparently is my neighbor. The dude was wealthy, as before I walked into his house, I n...

“The Old Lady ” by Alvin Fernandes

Submitted to Contest #94

"Ok go ahead do it" said Jonathan to his younger brother. "Wait, repeat it again brother". Jonathan cleared his throat and again whispered to John saying "so your gonna go, snatch that old lady's purse, bring it to me and then returned it back to her and say it’s a joke" Jonathan and John were both giggling at the idea of the dare as it seemed more like a prank on a friend, expect the old lady wasn't any friend or acquaintance but just an old lady. They knew that they weren't doing anything wrong as it seemed because if it were, then the two...
