Submitted to Contest #211

“Dear William….. A Letter from The Best Librarian, But Also A Father Doomed To Be The Best Storyteller….” Dear William (on your wedding day), I hope this letter finds you well. I hope that you have became the man I knew you would always be, even if I was not there to celebrate it with you! I wish I could’ve met your bride. I have no doubt that she has a beauty not only around her, but also emanating inside of her as well! I wish I could’ve been there on this special day, but fate had other plans. It must’ve been hard to lose your mot...

“"Sometimes, All it Takes is a Name.........."” by Andy Mac

Submitted to Contest #206

Sometimes, all it takes is a name. More than likely you already have multiple names in your head already. You have names for family members, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. But I’m not talking about these names. I’m talking about names that stretch the fabric of time. They may have came into this world in the usual way, but they grew into infamy because of either their heroic, or disastrous thoughts or actions. I know a lot of these names, being a history professor at South Bay University it is sort of my business. Allow m...

“This is Gary” by Andy Mac

Submitted to Contest #203

This is Gary. Gary stands at an incredible six and a half feet tall, weighs over two hundred pounds ad has an incredibly low body fat count. His chiseled chest shows his years of mastering his physique and his non-stop devotion to serving the Terrain Defense Alliance for over twenty years. We see him holding out his side arm ready to shoot any foe that stands against freedom. No task is too great. No enemy too strong. Gary will conquer them all. This is Gary. Or at the very least, who everybody else wants Gary to be. But this may...

“The Last Coffee Mark Will Ever Spill......” by Andy Mac

Submitted to Contest #183

“Maybe that schmuck would treat me a little differently if he knew I just blew up his house, family, work and city for pete’s sake!” blew Alan under his breath. I think it goes beyond saying that blowing up a city was not something you say aloud in a busy train concourse.  He did however give a rather disgusting look to the gentlemen who brushed passed him earlier,  knocking his coffee on the twenty dollar cotton shirt he found at the bargain store. To be fair, this was mostly because he normally wore rather expensive suits for w...

MEMORANDUM April 22nd 2021 TO: All senior Executives at Instagram Inc. CC: “The  Big Z” RE:  The curious case of Jenny Bay Hey Brian, Joe, and all you fine folks with the comfy chairs haha We received this odd email way back in 2020, but we can’t make heads or tails of it! We’ve checked to see if we can answer her “request” but it doesn’t look like there’s any reason why this is even happening! Nothing on the technical side! Maybe some internet witch doctor is doing something, but there’s it’s not like we have any...

“The "Scribi Finali" (Final Scribe)” by Andy Mac

Submitted to Contest #47

Ah good! You opened my email! I don't mean to intrude while you enjoy your morning coffee, but it is of great importance that I interrupt your tranquility to see if what I'm beginning to suspect about you is true. I promise you that although this is very forthcoming of me to ask, and also probably more awkward than is intended, but I've seen how you interact with complete strangers and I ask that hopefully you will give me a few minutes of your time. Who am I........well that actually gets a bit complicated. I suppose I'll have to expl...

“The Last Saber” by Andy Mac

Submitted to Contest #46

Artonomo studied what used to be his his most valued room in the house. There were many days he spent here. Days that quickly turned into nights, and even back again. A thick layer of dust had settled on his workshop. The dust seemed rather peaceful there. It seemed like a shame to disturb. As much as the tools were his friend, the dust was also sharing the same kinship. Most of his workspace was made of wood, but there were a few metal tables, contraptions, and other tools he made by hand. Centered around the back was a large forge an...
