“Maliciously Musical” by Asteria Rose

Submitted to Contest #73

From the moment I walked in the ballroom, I knew I was in the wrong place. This place was filled with know-it-all’s and the spoiled sons of rich businessmen. The halls were filled to the brim with holiday treats, alcohol (wait, wasn’t this party for minors?) and fancy, golden decorations that lined the walls in over-the-top Christmas cheer. Even more unfortunately than the fact that I stuck out like a sore thumb, was the fact that the actual awards show and music practice wasn’t for a few hours.

“You Bring Me Light” by Asteria Rose

Submitted to Contest #49

All her life, Melody had been forced to be patient. She was always told to wait: Wait when her dad died, when her sister left, when kids at school told her she couldn’t hang out with them because she didn’t wear fancy clothes. Her mother would tell her that things would get better, if only she waited a few more weeks. But those weeks blurred into months, and months blurred into years until she was absolutely sick of everything in her life occurring in slow motion.  It was like her life was a stick, trying to move through thick, murky m...
