The Game of Fate (Confession) (Part 2)

Aman Fatima

“I don’t understand why you would do that” her eyes were red and puffy and she was playing with her nails, unconsciously I suppose because she didn’t realize when she broke it. We were in a café 30 minutes away from the office; I didn’t want anyone in the office to know what had happened. I had ordered coffee for her and then spent the next 15 minutes staring at the cup until she spoke again. “Sir, I would like an explanation.” “I don’t know, maybe because looking at him makes me want to punch the life out of him. I was angry and there is no...

Aman Fatima

“Wait, are you proposing to her today?” Eric’s jaw dropped as soon as I told him my elaborate plan to propose to my month-long girlfriend. “What’s the hurry, you’ve only been dating for a month.”“I know but I can feel it in my heart she is the one” I tried to explain to him my feeling but there were no words for it.“No it’s what your parents did and their parents before them, you’re just carrying on their legacy in a way by marrying the first woman you fell for, trust me you should give it some time.”“Nah, she loves me, she’ll say yes” that’...

Flames Started It, Flames Ended It

Aman Fatima

My house was engulfed in flames, bright orange red flames that ended in black smock and then disappearing into the clear sky. I, Lucy Carter, on the other hand sat with my mom in the back of an ambulance covered in ashes. The firefighter arrived after more than half of my house had turned to ashes leaving me with zero hope that it could ever be restored to its original glory. Meanwhile my mother, the great Suzy Carter tried her best to show her shock and fell sadden about the whole incident. “Looks like it was a gas leak from one of the...

Shadow Rebel Chronicles

Isa “Who wants what, I have pepper poppers, mixed bean soup, lime turkey, Garlic rice with wasabi toast and Rosemary and mint beef, hurry up and decide before it gets cold” Blake walks out of the kitchen announcing. It’s her thing; she makes the most random meals and then makes us eat them. But if isn’t for her we would all go hungry. Blake is our group’s positive meter and by that I mean she can cheer us up even when there is nothing to be happy about while also being an active member of the group. Blake stands 5 foot 5 inches, with r...

Circle of Life

Aman Fatima

Submitted to Contest #102

Who knew I would one day return to the very place Alicia died and Alex was born. After spending 40 years of my life terrorizing others with my name and burying my past under guns, threats and brutal murders I finally came back to where it all began. I now stand staring at a small half decayed house in a small village that no longer exists. I stand outside my house looking at everything that I once used to call mine, everything that made me human. Even though this house may decay into oblivion no one will remember there are still some parts t...

Life Goes On

Aman Fatima

They sat around the round table in a Chinese restaurant in a private room. They finally met after a whole year trying to avoid the discussion they were about to go through. The food they ordered came 10 minutes ago and now it sat, still warm, on the rotating glass plate. None of the five individuals reached out for the food. They all looked terrible like the past still haunting them. Nina, who was now a rainbow dyed hair freak with more piercings than one can imagine and she used to be the nerd of this group. Liam the scorer star now lo...

The dead sometimes do come back

Aman Fatima

Submitted to Contest #97

3 days before camp. Knock knock. A sound came from the downstairs window. Silla with a bat in hand tiptoed to the window and moved the curtains slightly. She saw no one outside and thought it was the wind but before she could fix the curtain and head back to her room a figure jumped out and revealed itself. Silla ran to turn on the porch lights and saw it was her husband, Henry, standing outside. She opened the door and let him in. “You almost gave me a heart attack” Silla said smiling while also punching Henry in the shoulder a few times. “...

Aaron walks behind his real estate agent as he shows him the whole house. The house is two spacious floors, 24 hours water and electricity and has a beautiful lawn. As Aaron walks through the house he thinks the rent is affordable and the place is amazing. At the end of the tour Aaron’s agent brings him to one final room at the far end of the house on the ground floor. “Why is this room empty?” Aaron asks curiously. “Well, you see, since you are on a limited budget and you requested to find a spacious house, and you have already rejected 12 ...

Do you remember me?

Aman Fatima

Submitted to Contest #96

I sat in the lobby surrounded by my classmates and many of the other girls whose faces I didn’t recognize. I was shaking and someone threw a blanket around me. I stared at the floor intensely so that my stare could probably crack the tiles. The police escorted her out in handcuffs; I only know this because I recognized her shoes. I couldn’t look at her, her smiling face and piercing eyes. She could have done to me what she did to her or maybe I was next. Once she was out people around me moved to make room for the police officer. She had ben...

Flowers! That’s what I see, flowers as soon as I entered my apartment I see flowers. And it’s not just one type of flower it’s a hundred, you name them and they are here. Roses, lilies, orchids, daisies and so many more. My apartment all 600 square feet is covered with flowers and the only thing that comes to my mind is ‘How am I supposed to get all this out?’ “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!” now that’s my ‘always happy no matter what happens’ husband. He leaves the kitchen with a birthday cake in his hand and walks towards me. He has that silly co...

Submitted to Contest #84

It’s been 15 years since that day and I don’t remember much about it as I was only 3 at the time. But 15 years ago on a nice breezy day in the mid of March the world came crumbing down. The sky had turned purple, a very pretty purple, a purple that our eyes could not have imagined. The sky was purple as far as I could see. Mom and dad held my hands so I wouldn’t run away. The purple sky wasn’t the only thing that happened that day, out of the blue it snowed. It was the first time it had ever snowed where I lived and it was beautiful. I looke...

Who are they?

Aman Fatima

Where ever I went death followed me, they came after me, they took the light from my life and plunged me in dark. Why this happened I never understood the only person who did they took her from me. They took Beth and made the world believe I killed her. Mom and dad told me I was mad that I was the reason they lost Beth.

Since there was no proof I was involved they had to let me go they couldn’...
