Take One

Danika ɹǝƃɹǝquǝnǝ˥

1999 October 31st, Halloween In most towns, beggars’ night is the night before Halloween, but we are not like other towns. I watch as the kids wander down the dimly lit streets. Pirates, fairies, dragons, queens, cops, and real cops. I laugh. They slowly patrol the streets, it’s pathetic. The houses on this street all have their porch lights on, some have the candy bowl on the front step. “Take One” Laughable. Those are my favorite; when you see them sitting on the couch through their windows, watching those shit TV shows, too lazy t...

The Past

Danika ɹǝƃɹǝquǝnǝ˥

Vivian's POV She pulled the door open, grabbed her purse, and walked out into the hallway. He silently followed her out of the apartment. Her sneakers squeaked against the marble floor as she walked towards the elevator and called it. When the elevator arrived she glanced over her shoulder and stepped in. He stood next to her in the elevator as it descended. She fidgeted nervously with her hands, latching and unlatching her purse. When they arrived at the lobby she held her head high and strided out. He watched as she walked out onto the st...

Goodbye for the Last Time

A knock at the door made Margret jump up from the couch and run for the door. The lock shifted and the door handle turned. She pulled the door open. There he was, on her porch. She stood in the doorway, heart pounding in her chest. She watched him, waiting for him to disappear, for the illusion to end.“Adam?” He smiled at her, his eyes shining. “Hey, Madge.” He opened his arms for her and she barreled into them. She buried her face into his camo shirt breathing in his scent. He still smelled of fire and smoke but underneath, lavend...

I checked my ticket again, flight 2771 east gate. I was surprised I even got a ticket, I bought one last minute with a coupon I had. An all-expenses-paid trip. I was surprised to see the package had such a low price. I was just happy to get out of the house. When I got to the gate I waited in line to board the plane. I grabbed my passport out for my bag and got it ready for the flight attendant. The line moved quickly and I soon reached the front. I handed the flight attendant my passport and ticket. She glanced at it and handed it back to...

The Towers Came Tumbling Down

Submitted to Contest #80

The plane flew at the towers. People screamed. I watched as the plane made contact with the tall buildings. The blast made me flinch. More people screamed. I stared at the place of impact. People on the streets were either running from or to the tower. Some people just stood in place and watched, like me. I looked around to see hundreds of phones out and recording. Some people were walking out onto the street, asking what happened. Within a couple of minutes, news teams were on the scene. Their cameras pointed at the towers. Then eve...

Their Lies

Submitted to Contest #79

My sister was all I had after our parents had died, I was too young to remember them. My sister tells me that someone had killed them, broken into the house, and shot them. The police never found the killer. We were left orphaned. My sister took care of me, and I took care of her. We were all we had together in this world. So why did she do it? I should have suspected something when she woke me up late in the night, or when she led me away from the orphanage and into the forest. The way she walked in front of me, not talking or answering any...

Sinking

“What’s our depth?” “25,000 feet ma’am.” “Anything on the radar?” “No, ma’am, we seem to be alone down here,” the captain’s brow creased in confusion. “Is that a good or bad thing, Arthur?” “I’m not sure, ma’am.” Arthur stayed facing the monitor, watching the green line of the radar go round and round. The captain watched him a bit longer than turned to her brother, the second in command. He always wore such a serious face, it wasn’t his fault it was just the way he was. He had a strong build and he liked to keep his body in shape, for his g...

Going Up?

The hallway was full of footsteps, the clicking of high heels, and the stomping of dress shoes. Men in suits, women in dresses, all dressed to impress. The Indy Law Firm was a well renounced, and prestigious law firms, it’s considered one of the best in the world. If you worked there you were somebody, if you got a lawyer form there you were somebody; after all their motto is “You are somebody!” The law firm’s building was huge about 30 stories, it was a magnificent building! The easiest way to the top is the elevator altho people on the low...
