“Withdrawal Pending” by Domonique Kendrix

Submitted to Contest #32

"Next, right here please," Cora called to the next customer in line. A very tall man came forward and she wondered what he was. She could tell he wasn’t human. "Bank card and ID, please," she said, and he passed her what she asked for through the slot in the spell-proof glass. She asked, "And what will I be helping you with today?" "I would like to withdraw some of my gold," he said, and Cora's heart sank. The teller next to her almost dropped the ID she had just been handed by her customer. The man continued, "Fifty pounds worth. All in coi...

“Family Affair” by Domonique Kendrix

Submitted to Contest #26

Jordan was the only one without the family talent. His father had said that he saw that it wasn’t really going to be a natural skill for Jordan early on, but Jordan’s mother kept trying to find the right instrument for him.

He had trouble reading sheet music and had to look at his hands while he played. He would feel embarrassed whenever anyone watched him. Jordan’s father had let it go long ago and was happy tha...

Rose and Calvin had made their first set of vows and read from the sacred book with the rising of the sun, and they had two more ritual vows to go. That was what a fated couple did when they made a life bond. They now sat at a table in the dining hall, enjoying breakfast with close family and neighbors, before the next ritual got underway.  "Our mothers are talking,” Rose said, leaning her head on Calvin’s shoulder. “I think they’re trying to come up with the best plan to separate us for the purification vows at noon.” "They’ll have to ...

“No Footprints in the Border Woods” by Domonique Kendrix

Submitted to Contest #23

When I stood outside, I could actually say the snow seemed pleasant. I wasn’t really fond of snow, since it didn’t snow where I lived, but a visit to my grandmother’s house in winter usually meant it was unavoidable. The house had been in the family for generations, but I had never lived in it. It was where my family liked to gather for holiday events.  Family gatherings meant heated debates and sibling rivalries and I wanted no part of it, so I decided a short walk in the little patch of woods would be nice.

Author bio

m a Southern California native, raised on fairy tales, fantasy, and anime. I've been imagining up stories that take place far from the desert I live in, for as long as I can remember. No matter the destination of the story, my readers can find something real-world and relatable in them. I enjoy writing fantasy and fairy tale themed stories with various sub-genres and themes. I love creating romantic stories, but I still enjoy stories where the love of family or friends can drive a person to save the day. When I'm not reading or writing, I can be found watching ridiculously bad sci-fi monster movies, or visiting places around California.
