“Not so alone” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #60

The world is empty. There are no people around, no moving cars, buildings are empty, and I am alone. I’m not sure how the world ended up like this, I just woke up one morning and everyone was gone. I packed up my belongings and started walking in hopes to find another person and so far, no such luck. I have been seeking shelter when the sun starts to set in abandoned houses. I don’t want to find out if anything lurks in the darkness. It has been a few months since everyone disappeared and I have to say, it is quite lonely regardless of the p...

“The Mystery of 3AM” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #36

April 4, 20XX Tonight, is the start of my diary entries. My therapist said it is a good idea to write things down whenever I am having trouble sleeping so it looks like the start of a beautiful friendship. I recently started having trouble sleeping and let me tell you, it’s not a good thing. I used to sleep fine until I started waking up at 3AM every morning. Once I am awake, no matter how tired I am I cannot go back to sleep. Why? I live by myself so there is nothing to wake me up. I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling for a good amount of...

“My Fictional Life” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #32

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to become a character in a story? Let me just say, it is not something that I personally enjoy. I don’t have any control over my actions because the writer must create them for me as well as speak just as I am to you right this minute. I am fully aware that I am a work of fiction so don’t be surprised about it. Let me just go ahead and introduce myself that way you can get an idea about me. My name is Jane Mayberry and I am twenty-two years old. I currently go to college for art, I work in a cloth...

“The Unexpected Call” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #30

It was a normal night at home, I was sitting on the couch watching a movie at 11PM. It was a really good romance movie too until the phone rang. I ignored the phone the first time, but it rang the second time, so I decided to get my lazy butt up and answer the phone. I was really surprised who was on the other line. “Hello?”“Hey Madison, it’s me Trent. It’s been a while hasn’t it?”Trent. A really close friend of mine that I haven’t heard from in a really long time called me. I was more surprised that he still had my number after all the...

“Her first taste of love” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #29

“Mom, I’m going to the library for a bit!”“Okay! Don’t stay out too late and remember to not check out so many books this time.”“I won’t mom. Bye!”Every day is the same, I go to school and after school I go to the library to read and check out books. Oh, I should introduce myself first; my name is Megan Greene and I am somewhat of a nerd. I enjoy reading books of all types; from basic fiction, to Manga, and even comic books. I even play the occasional video games and write my own stories when I don’t feel like reading. I am currently a Sopho...

“The one I deserved” by Christina Lyon

Submitted to Contest #28

The story that I am about to tell, is one of excitement, sorrow, and love. It was back in 2016 when I made the shocking discovery that my life was about to change forever. I was dating a guy that was younger than me by a couple of years and I knew him since middle school but, we did not talk to each other let alone look at each other. We hooked up because I was in a dating slump and my best friend at the time decided it was a good idea to set me up with him because she trusted him with her life. We hit it off pretty good and everything seeme...

Author bio

I am a mom to a wonderful toddler and married to an amazing man that has supported me through difficult times. I used to write short stories all of the time during school and I am even working on a book. Since coming across Reedsy, I enjoy receiving the prompts each week. Unfortunately, ever since my daughter was born, I have not had the time to write anything and regardless of the prompts, I have been having a difficult time coming up with anything. I am hoping I can find a way to start writing again soon. I am looking to go to college for creative writing because after going to school to become a teacher (and failing) I have decided to try something new. I just need to get the creative juices flowing again.
