“One Seed” by Arham Ishraq

---------------------------------------------------------------- "Right here?" She brushed her hair out of her face. Her face was youthful and ecstatic, and her voice was bright and lovely. "It's perfect." He smiled at her. The placement of the seed was perfect. It was a symbol of their future together. She laughed, simply out of pure joy. He kissed her, placing his hand on her stomach.

Submitted to Contest #91

The warm yellow light illuminated the large room, the blasting AC blowing as if loudly whispering a secret into Andre’s ears. The librarian sitting at the customer service pulled the shutters down, the loud fluttering of the impact signaling the end of Andre’s 6-hour visit to the library. As he got up to leave the building, he noticed that one of the windows had been left open, and since everyone else had left, there was nobody other than him to close it. He advanced toward the window. The wind howled through the open casement...

“Final Words” by Arham Ishraq

Submitted to Contest #74

“Better Than Home” by Arham Ishraq

Raindrops pattered against the window, and the sun hid behind grey clouds. The street lights flickered, lighting up the dark road. People scurried along the sidewalk, armed with umbrellas. Amongst all the footsteps and raindrops, was a small coffee shop, the LED lights like stars shining in the night sky.The fairy lights glimmered against the jagged brick wall, the fragrance of cinnamon and coffee enveloped the room. Baristas rushed around like bees, buzzing to get their work done. ...

“Endless” by Arham Ishraq

Submitted to Contest #62

I put the shovel down, wiping the sweat from my eyebrow."Well, I guess this is goodbye." I said. The wind brushed against my cheek as I looked at the people I would never see again."We can always call, right?" Alissa said weakly.Alian turned his head away, avoiding eye contact.I looked at them, taking a deep breath. "Actually, I take that back. It isn't goodbye...it won't ever be, because a part of us will always be here, inside this box."Alissa smiled and Alian scoffed."We'll be here forever...in...

Author bio

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR 50+ FOLLOWERS!!! I try to follow back as soon as I can :) Hello, I'm not sure why you're on my account but I'm not complaining. I'm just a middle school student who loves writing stories, I tried writing a novel or a long book hundreds of times, but I always run out of steam, so I decided to practice on reedsy. I'm definitely not the best at writing, but I do want to be an author. A simple like or comment goes very far, and I always follow back! :) This website is a way for me to deal with stress and it's just an outlet for me to release unused energy in, so I will warn you, my stories are not the type to blow your mind. Before I end off my bio, I want to shoutout to my classmates and ex-classmates for supporting me and upvoting me since I started! -Raquel Rodriguez -Izzie Chan -Wolfy -Ash M Have a nice day and thank you so much for reading my bio!!
