“The End of Days” by Carson Lupton

Submitted to Contest #279

Q: When will the world end?A: Sooner than you think. The worst part about the end of the world was how suddenly it happened. The end didn’t come the way most people expected- a slow, painful death to climate change or nuclear war or any other long-lasting issues. The end of the world was out of everyone’s control, coming impulsively and devastatingly. One day the world functioned as it had for millennia and the next it’d gone kablooie. No psychics (not even the highly-rated ones), no AI supercomputers; no one and nothing saw it beforeh...

“The Playground” by Carson Lupton

Submitted to Contest #279

The Playground I don't remember much about my childhood. The first third or so of my existence is shrouded in a haze occasionally broken up by flashes and flickers of remembrance, small hardly-anythings that barely illuminate the darkness of forgetfulness. But there is one thing I remember with crystal clarity, that I continue to treasure; when I first met my best friend. We met at a playground in an older part of town, an area once wealthy but had long since fallen on hard times and had been left almost completely abandoned. Empty houses an...

“The Boy in the House” by Carson Lupton

Submitted to Contest #253

The Window-The downstairs window is the only view to Outside. It’s small and square, and a white crack Spiderwebs near the top. The window’s image is a street, Curving out of frame. Houses and trees line the street, but since it’s winter right now the trees are barren. There are other windows in our house, But they’re covered. Blinds down, nailed shut. I asked Mom once why all the other windows were covered. She responded that it was for invisibility. She never expanded. But I’m sure it’s for good reason. Mom would never do anything bad. I k...

“The Hitchhiker” by Carson Lupton

Submitted to Contest #216

The hitchhiker stood firm on the side of the poorly kept desert road, his left thumb stuck up at an almost unnatural angle. In his other hand, he held a piece of cardboard that had Phoenix written crudely in black Sharpie. Behind him, a mile away if not more, was the town of Las Vegas, the neon lights from the city barely visible from where the hitchhiker was stationed. As he patiently waited, the hitchhiker tried to think of how he had ended up here, why he would have ever wanted to go to a place that somehow would make him poorer, but his ...
