“The Cleansing” by Cody Wright

Submitted to Contest #91

Linda clicked the switch, turning off all the lights behind her. The emergency lights illuminating the shelves lining each wall, their contents lined up side by side like so many soldiers. “I’ll see you all in the morning. Behave yourselves.” She said, her own brand of humor bringing a smile to her face. She glanced at all the books one last time before the glass door closed and she slid the key home clicking it confidently as she closed up for the night. Her headlights lit up the library briefly before she backed out of her space and drove ...

“Nurture vs Nature” by Cody Wright

Submitted to Contest #90

The intercom buzzed as Adrian listened to the captain announce the next stop, or at least he would have if it wasn’t so damn loud on the train. The momentum of the train rocketing through the underground jostled him into the man standing near him who has his phone on speaker. “Yea man, she would totally love that place. I’m sure it’ll score me another for the books tonight.” He laughed as his friend responded. “Damn son, keep this up and we’re gonna have to get you one of those frequent flyer cards to the clinic. Don’t they know you by name ...

Submitted to Contest #89

John looked at the sheet of paper in his hands, once again reading over the words he had written there. He looked out the window, the rain breaking up the glow of neon signs illuminating the street below. He sighed and set the paper down, the faint rainbow glow shining across his scrawl. As he stood up from the bed his phone rang. The name of his girlfriend flashed across the screen he had sitting beside his bed. He hit the red button, silencing the shrill that had pierced the sullen silence. He turned to the objects he had spread across his...

“Traditions” by Cody Wright

Submitted to Contest #69

The familiar smell of baking turkey and stuffing filled the house, causing mouths to water and bellies to rumble. Jack looked to his bedroom door as he heard the crashing and clanging of pots and pans as his mother and new step-father got dinner ready. Soon a whole new family would fill up this new house, in this new state. He hated the thought of it. This would be the first time in 14 years that he wouldn’t see his dad’s family. He threw his socks at the wall and they fell into the hamper. “I can’t believe she is doing this to me.” Ja...

“The Lake” by Cody Wright

Submitted to Contest #68

The sky was slowly turning from blue to a beautiful pastel pink as the sun slowly approached the horizon. Sebastion’s fingers entwined Kara’s as they lay together on the hood of his mustang. The chill fall air making them snuggle together to fight off the morning chill. “I’m glad I was finally able to convince you to come out this morning,” Sebastion said quietly, resting his cheek on Kara’s head. The feeling of her soft, brown hair is one he will never get tired of. “I know you aren’t a morning person, but the view of the sunrise from the p...

“The Dinner Guest” by Cody Wright

Submitted to Contest #17

The candlelight danced against the floral wallpaper of the living room as the five members of the Patterson family moved to their chairs, each carrying a platter of food. “Careful with that stuffing,” Robert Patterson said to his only daughter Alice. “We don’t want you to tip over the candle again like last year!” He smiled as he gently teased her. “I’m never going to live that down, am I?” She replied to him smiling. She turned towards her younger brother Mark as she set down the stuffing. “Can you pass me the cranberries?” Mark glanc...
