Stars Between the Pages of a Book

Submitted to Contest #97

In two days, Nidhi would write the most important exam of her life. Fifteen years old with a long future at hand, how she performed would seal her fate. She would compete with thousands of people her age. Unless she came off doing better than most, she was ruined.  The sound of crickets chirping filled the night, interrupted by the occasional howl of stray wolves. Cool breeze rustled grass and leaves, blowing away traces of the approaching summer. The moon, round and pale yellow, played a game of hide-and-seek behind wisps of grey cloud...

The Girl With Fire In Her Eyes

Submitted to Contest #95

CW: Mentions of murder and crime (but not much)You hold the hilt of the dagger in your hands, its metal pressing against your frostbitten arm. You've never held a weapon before, and wielding one makes you feel strong. Powerful. You take a deep breath and run the blade through the rope, slitting it into two with a snap that makes your blood run cold."Go," you say in a voice so hoarse you can't believe it's yours.The ten-year-old girl, the one you've just freed, looks up at you with large eyes, as if she can't believe you're letting her go.

Anyway, let's cut the pleasantries and get to the main point. I'm writing this all down because I know it's the only way this account can survive. I'm not kidding or anything. I am dead serious. Because by the time this gets to you, I might be gone.Wh...

My Older Sister, Elaina

Submitted to Contest #92

A/N: I don't want to include a spoiler, but you can read my comment on this story if you don't mind :) The first time I saw her, I remembered nothing but blinding brightness and light. I was hardly a few hours old, swaddled in soft blankets, and brought to my older sister, Elaine for her to see. I was just getting used to the outside world, yet, I remember the smile that lit up her face when she saw me. She was only four, but she promised to be the best sister to me. She was there for me from the very first second. My older sister Elaina...

We Are the Revolution

Submitted to Contest #90

Books have always spoken about zombie apocalypses, alien invasions and a million other fantastical threats. But the climate apocalypse? Did people even know it was actually much closer than they thought? I didn't think so. In 2080, you didn’t pass a minute without hearing something about the climate crisis, about the way things were going for a toss, and how in less than twenty years, earth was going to become uninhabitable. We tried our best with the latest technology, but technology could only do so much. We should have prepared for it ear...
