“The Obstinacy ” by Bareera Samra

Submitted to Contest #69

The darkened room was only lit by a few shimmering candles that were making shadows on the wall.   In the candle-light, a woman could be seen sitting on a sofa across the table. She was middle-aged, wearing a long purple robe over her clothes, and her mysterious black eyes were gazing in the girl’s honey colored who was sitting across her. She was a young girl, around thirteen, dressed in a frock, and was glancing around...

‘Yes! No. Yes. I don’t know.’ Mike exclaimed, clearly confused.‘Come on, it’s going to be loads of fun’ Louis urged him, excitement visible on his face. ‘It’ll be the best adventure and the best Halloween in the history of civilization.’‘What? You think just visiting a graveyard and burying skulls between other graves is a form of entertainment? It’s disrespectful.’‘Hah! Disrespectful?’ Louis scorned. ‘It’s a graveyard. I’m sure the dead people won’t mind. And we’ll go far away where no one will know us. We’ll use our...

Submitted to Contest #63

The door slid open and a gust of wind blew in. Almost immediately, I looked up from the counter to see a middle-aged man entering the café, his eyes trying hard to adjust in this environment. I was surprised. Our café was the most suitable and perfect for having morning tea or evening coffee. Our lights were the most appropriate according to the time of the day, bright yellow in the morning, light blue in the evening. Ri...

“The Kids Who Found What They Sought ” by Bareera Samra

Submitted to Contest #62

She is panting slightly as she digs the mud by her hands glancing here and there every now and then to check if someone is looking. She digs the mud with her toy spade, knowing that her time is running out. They will be here any second. When there is enough space for the box, she buries it in the mud, her hand carefully patting the mud after hiding. She gets up as she hears footsteps and brushes the mud off her frock.

“The Unexpected Truth.” by Bareera Samra

Submitted to Contest #61

I am sobbing. I glance over and see my mother’s face streamed with tears. I know I can do nothing about it. You can’t control the death of someone, can you? My father is lying on the hospital bed in front of us, his eyes half open and his face pale. ‘Dad.’ I manage to control my helplessness and call father. He opens his eyes and focuses on me and manages a weak smile. Then he turns to mother. ‘Emma...

His normal tidy hair were standing on his head and his white coat...

“Never Ending Story” by Bareera Samra

Submitted to Contest #59

It was very noisy in the room. Alex sat on the desk, not sure it was finally the time. He could hear the scraping of chairs and desks. The buzz of people all around him was bugging him. After a while, a loud but distant voice called putting everyone to silence but Alex couldn’t quite hear it. His ears were ringing and he was terrified of what was to come. Sure enough, when a hand came down to his desk and slammed down sh...
