“Vibrations” by Avid Writer

The doctor at age 7 told my mother he estimated that I would be profoundly deaf by age 10. His estimate was close, as I was told I was completely and profoundly deaf at age 9. As a young boy such as myself who was already unsure of the world and deeply insecure, the transition for me was frightening.Music went from a beautiful flow of notes and echoes to only a humming vibration I could feel through my very core.The ocean’s roaring waves went from a deep crash of the surf to a dim sensation on the soles of my feet.My parents loud arguing and...

“In-Law Pileup” by Avid Writer

We were going to be late. There was a three-car pileup on the highway and the traffic was horrendous. “Lewis, its alright, stop being so tense, I already called my parents and told them we were going to be late.” My fiancé chimed. “I know, still. I can’t help but be nervous, I mean their going to be my future in-laws Abi.” I sighed. “I’m sure it will be fine, relax, okay. They are just my parents, not velociraptors.” She said softly putting her hand on my arm. I did my best to relax. Abi was the love of my life; it was worth it for her. Sh...

Submitted to Contest #93

*This is a preview of a chapter of a book I'm writing called Murder on the Polaris, it fit the prompt wonderfully, but if the characters arent familiar I apologize. Little bit of background, the characters are set in a post apocalyptic world where a cruise was offered to a select few citizens. Anyway, Please enjoy!*Step, two, three… Danica was focused on the way his hips moved in the mirror. His hands were up in the air in dance position. He felt sort of stupid, but it had been forever since he had danced. Here he was, dancing in front of th...

“The Sandchild” by Avid Writer

Submitted to Contest #92

“Constant diligence! We must have constant diligence!” The cry echoed around the long underground hall. A short dragonborn with black scales slammed his hand on the long table before him. “If we don’t find the Sandchild before the imposter king finds it then all will be lost!” He looked around the table, the black scaled dragonborn’s pale blue eyes narrowing as if daring anyone to challenge him.Another dragonborn at the table stood and spoke up in response to him, “But if we aren’t careful Mentir, we could be thrown in prison.” He glanced ar...

“The Owl Nest” by Avid Writer

Submitted to Contest #92

Eeikko’s beak found the creamy alabaster eggshell in the dark and by instinct he rapped against it. His head then pushed vigorously against the hard eggshell pushing his head out into the air. The first thing that greeted him were two big dark orbs and a bald skinny head and beak probing at him. Eeikko wiggled his way out of the egg into the gloomy area. His small eyes starting to adjust to the dim light as he inhaled the scent of dust and musty wood. The beak was there again probing awkwardly under his gaunt wings. Eeikko annoyed turned and...

“Ivy and Shadows ” by Avid Writer

Submitted to Contest #92

Griffin Cecil- June 15th- On the plane. From Asenapine to Ziprasidone I’ve taken them all. None of them have helped much. Shadows still lurk in the corners of my vision and words that aren’t mine interlace between my thoughts. My mom thinks that me going to stay at my grandfather’s countryside cottage in England this summer will help. She says it will be a good idea to “detox” before I go into my senior year of high school. Whatever “detox” means. I really don’t think she understands. Just because I go from our home to a sunny countryside ...

Knowledge and Neatness. Those where the things that Andrew always prided himself in. So, when the doctors diagnosed him with OCD, was he surprised? No, he recognized the signs. The checking the locks every half hour, the overwhelming feeling to keep everything in its spotless perfect state, and finally the long hours of constant organizing and reorganizing of his precious books.The books where what Andrew loved most. They where the most important part of him. He figured he could learn everything he needed to know from comfort of his pleasant...
