“Toronto, Toronto ” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #85

“That’s the thing about this city," Isabelle says, "it's always moving and changing. You're going to love New York. We could stay for as long as you want. And we don't have to steal jewels or museum exhibits, but they're always bringing in new things so if we wanted to…" She has a mischievous glint in her eyes. I remember that she had the same glint in her eyes the day we met. The closer we get to New York,...

“Land Ho” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #84

What day is it? Ever since we made it out to sea I can't seem to find my bearings. There's no land in sight. There’s water. Tons and tons of water everywhere I look. Isabelle said we would stop in the States somewhere in about a week. We ran into a few issues with choppy water, so we may have lost time. Has it been a week? Has it been longer? I can't remember. How many sunrises and sunsets have I seen on t...

“A Getaway to Get Away... From the Police” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #83

"ISABELLE CARTIER, THE HOUSE IS SURROUNDED. COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" Jolene bolts awake beside me. She stares at me in disbelief. "You're still here." I nod. "I'm not going to leave you behind again." "WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE MS. CARTIER. COME OUT NOW OR WE'LL BE COMING IN." "We'll see about that," I mutter as I pick up my phone and press the self-destruct button fo...

“Am I Programmed to Love Her?” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #82

I can feel my heart, if you can call it a heart, thumping. The mechanism is beating so fast because my date… no. My partner? No. My girlfriend? I hope so. Whatever I am to her — whatever she is to me — I can't explain my feelings. All I know is that each look, each touch, makes my circuits feel like they're shorting out. My heart mechanism races as she rubs little circles into my hand with her thumb. She talks about how ...

“The Best View in the City” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #81

I arrive at Toronto's Union Station. I'm planning to take the PATH to the CN Tower. That's where she'll be. While her text from last night is cryptic, I know her well enough to know what she means. Her text is referencing the restaurant at the top of the CN Tower. I'm almost certain of it. That is where the best view in the city would be.She texted me again this morning saying to meet her at 6pm. I'm early.Yesterday she stole the jewels that I had gone to the Royal Ontario Museum to steal. She left four...

“Heist at the Royal Ontario Museum” by Artemis Rowan

Submitted to Contest #80

I've been coming to evening events at the Royal Ontario Museum since I started university. They're always packed with people. Packed with witnesses. It's almost impossible to do what I've been planning to do for years. But this time is different. This time, there's a snowstorm keeping most of the guests from attending. But for some reason the event planners didn't use the weather as an excuse to cancel t...
