“When I Became Death, I Finally Felt Alive ” by Amanda Newson

Submitted to Contest #101

“Please let me die,” I said, staring up at the ceiling with my wrists bound to the hospital gurney. Tears had pooled in my eyes; and my death ended up being as monumental as the word sorry. Apologies were passed around in small groups, ‘sorry’ was given and taken to family and friends, and then like a regret pushed down deep, it was moved away from. My death came and went and my family and former life had to move on too....

“This Is A Story About You” by Amanda Newson

Submitted to Contest #39

This is a story about you. You are glad, you’ve always wanted a story to be written about you. You have often wondered what it would be written like, how your story would go, how you would be portrayed, and most of all, if you survived. This story starts with you looking out of your window at the stars. They are bright, glowing endlessly in the peacock navy of the sky.

“How I Fell In Love With A Serial Killer” by Amanda Newson

Submitted to Contest #29

Myles and I had been getting on well those last couple of months, no new girls had been brought into the corridor, and I could tell our relationship was blooming into something more than what it had been. This was probably due to my soft flirting. Warmer smiles when he came to talk, louder laughs when he tried to joke, and trailing touches when he gave me gifts. My cell had looked quite different from its original bare stone prison, blankets covered the small bed, a chair sat in the corner, and an old bookcase was slowly filling with seco...

“Seven Cupids” by Amanda Newson

Submitted to Contest #27

Seven Cupids sat around a white table, each of varying age, and examined the new target that appeared before them. The figure floated in the tables centre as a three dimensional picture, name, age, and job hovering above his head like trademarks. He was mid-thirties, and the type of man that other men would nod at in a bar but avoid on the street. He wore cuffed blue jeans crumpled above black boots, and a leather jacket well-worn in companionship and use. Most of all, his hands were littered with scars of a job well done, an...
