“Paradise” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #52

You can hear the footsteps growing closer and closer. Your breath shakes and your hands shake. The flashlight beams sweep across the floor, leaving no corner unchecked. They are looking for you, and you know that they will eventually find you, hiding behind the stacked crates. It feels like you are shedding pounds of sweat, forming a puddle on the floor beneath you. 'Just make a run for it,' You mentally tell yourself, 'Now or never.' You stand up and sprint to the nearest exit, holding your breath and pushing your legs to the limit. But it ...

“Haunted” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #52

You thought he was dead, but there he is, right in front of you in the alley, a wicked smile on his face, knife in hand. You stare at him; disbelief flooding your mind, making your thinking sloppy. "You-you should be dead." You stammer, pointing at him. "Well, I'm not," He chuckles, "You on the other hand... I don't know, you might be dead soon." He flips the knife, it's blade gleaming in the sunlight. You back up, raising your hands in surrender, keeping them in sight. He advances, knuckles white around the handle, his breathing is heavy. H...

“If only.” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #51

If only. If only I could. If only I had the strength. I can't do anything but sit and watch as you die. I could have stopped this. I could have saved you. But I didn't have the strength. If only I did. If only I pushed through the fear. You would still be here. You would still be here. I'm so sorry. If only I could tell you that. I should have helped. I should have tried. If only I did. You would be here; right by my side. I'm so sorry. If only you could know that. I would give anything to see you again. To hug you, one last time. If only....

“Starlight” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #51

Stars. Beautiful, twinkling diamonds that stand out against the night sky. The moon illuminates small spots of the forest, making it all different shades of green, black, and brown. Fireflies blink at the edge of the treeline, acting like fallen stars. A cool breeze blows, ruffling the leaves and shaking branches. Crickets chirp and wolf's howl, interrupting the peaceful, silent atmosphere.  Grass tickles her feet as Eva laid back, resting the back of her head on her folded up hands. Staring up into the starlit sky, she sighed, reliving...

“Wait for what?” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #49

Yes, waiting sucks. A lot. My hands are shaking so badly, and there is sweat dripping down the sides of my face. I bounce my leg up and down, up and down, trying to take the edge off of my anxiety. Waiting for this is torture. My whole body feels different, it's warm all over, I'm shaking everywhere, and I can't stop moving. I never thought of myself to be an impatient person; I could always wait to open presents on my birthday, and I never complained on a long car ride. But now? Now I'm as impatient as the moon, waiting to rise, waiting to ...

“Cleanup on aisle murder” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #47

You check the time. Perfect. As intended, you've arrived fashionably late. You didn't want to help in the murder, that isn't what you signed up for. You had signed up for cleanup. Dumping the body somewhere, cleaning the blood, making it look like nothing happened and the victim had just went missing. But, that didn't happen. You were told to be there, be present for the actual murder. You hate the thought of even taking someone's life, but you need the money. So when you were told to help assist in the murder and not just the cleanup, you w...

“Subject 2A” by Brianna Lynn

Submitted to Contest #47

As you check your mail, you notice a letter that makes you stop in your tracks. Written on the front in big, bold letters, is URGENT. OPEN IMMEDIATELY! It is a letter issued from the government. You tear the seal off with trembling fingers and peer inside. It holds one piece of paper and a button. You take the paper out and open it up. It reads: Attention resident, you were randomly chosen to be part of an experiment conducted by the CDC. Please press the button when you are ready to leave. Do not pack anything. Your family will be informed ...
