“Clowning Around” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #246

(The vice versa option)I cover my ears as I rush out the school doors at the end of the day. There’s kids talking on the phone. Other kids yelling. Playing music. It’s chaos.I’m reaching for my bicycle when someone grabs my shoulder.“Hey Trent, guess what?!”I turn around fast, a stiff frown forming on my lips. “What?”It’s Jacob. He’s always screwing around so much that he’ll never get a grade higher than a c. And he has a really messy, goofy afro.“I was gonna tell you a time traveling joke, but you didn’t like it.” He’s smiling so hard that ...

“Picture Imperfect ” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #242

Jordan was one of the most successful young artists of her time. She’d always been an artist. Always making random pieces to express herself. Whether they were paintings or sculptures, or collages. Her art teacher in high school had said that she’d never make it. Her friends said that her portraits were ugly and her sculptures misshapen. Her mother said her art was good. But she’d also said her brother’s soccer skills were good, and he lost every game. But none of it kept Jordan down. She didn’t care what they thought.But here, where the sto...

“HUNTER'S ELIXIR ” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #241

(THIS STORY CONTAINS MILD VAMPIRE AND BLOOD SCENES) I throw my clothes into my backpack and sigh. What do I even pack? How would I know what to pack as a vampire?! I dump my clothes back into my drawer. “Knock, knock!” My dad says, from the doorway of my room. “You’re so weird Dad.” “Well I figured you wouldn’t wanna be late for your last real meal of human food before you turn.” “You’re right.” I think about pizza and mac and cheese and ice cream. How much I’m gonna miss eating. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I don’t ...

“Lost My Mind” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

This is my first story after taking my break for the summer. I just wrote this one quick and it might not make the most sense. But still, I hope you enjoy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~IT WAS STILL DARK WHEN I WOKE up, so I never even noticed the difference. But still, I felt like something was off. That’s when I heard it. It was such a haunting noise, considering what it was. Children’s music, muffled through the walls of my bedroom and droned on for hours. I ripped the blanket’s off of my legs and stood up quickly. I had to figure it out. I had to figur...

“A Visit To Bunratty Ireland” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #96

I grasp the handle of my luggage firmly and manage to squeeze through the crowded airport terminal. Once I'm outside I take a deep breath of fresh air, allowing my lungs to fully expand in my chest. It's so wonderful to be on solid ground again, breathing real air. I mentally squeal. Irish air! I scan the parking lot, looking for a place to sit and call a taxi. In the taxi I peer out the window and think. I'm out of my mind excited! I'm half Irish and have wanted to travel to Ireland forever. But now that I'm older, 18, I have be...

“Just A Girl And An Alien” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #95

DARA: “I can’t believe they fired me!” I mutter under my breath as I drive onto the street where my apartment building is. I’ve been working as a waitress at Jenny’s—a small diner—for seven months now. And they just fired me today. And just because I was ten minutes late nineteen times this month! Like, the world is getting so strict these days. That’s why I didn’t go to college. Too many rules. Instead of going to college, I decided to get my own apartment and just get a job. And I’m not against college or anything, it’s jus...

“The Boy From The Book (Part 1)” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Note: This story is not related to the prompt. This is part one. If you want me to write part two comment below. It all started as a normal Tuesday.I was sitting at my desk in world history class, doodling in my notebook dedicated to history notes. When I heard the door swing open. I heard the clickety-clackety sound of Ms. Hayward’s shoes as she walked to the chalkboard.“We have a new student.” Ms. Hayward said in her usual voice that always reminded me of a songbird.I look up out of a vague sense of curiosity.I could feel my jaw drop. Stan...

“When You Have A Slice Of Cake” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #93

It’s the little things. We all focus on the big things in life. But it’s the little things that matter the most. And it’s the little things that bother me significantly. How I can't go anywhere by myself. How everyone looks at me with sad eyes. How I can’t play any sports, like all the other boys. How my mother cries silently when she thinks no one's watching. How I spend so much time looking out my window, wishing I could do SOMETHING. Yes the big things are Important too, I guess. Anyways, you’re probably wondering what in the wor...

“The Day I Discovered I Was A Vampire” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

I sit up. What a weird dream I had. I was walking in the park looking for my purse. I accidentally left it under a tree when I was picnicking with Leah. It started raining and then a cloaked figure attacked me. I can’t remember the rest. Then I woke up. Wow, I’m really cold! Wait, where am I? It takes a moment for my vision to clear up. I feel around. Why am I sitting on wet grass? I look up. It's so bright! I use my arm to shield my eyes. Since when did the sun get so blinding? I hear birds tweeting and see trees in the distance. I am in th...

“Cadence's Worst/Best Day” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Today quite possibly could have been the worst day of my life. I know I probably just seem like I'm being extreme, but I'm not. Everything that could have gone wrong did. What was it my Uncle John used say? Ah, yes. Murphy’s law: “Anything that can go wrong will.” Well Uncle John was right, well, at least for today anyway. Now you’re probably wondering why today was so unbelievably dreadful. Well it started this morning when I went to take a shower and the hot water heater broke. I felt like an ice cube. Then I decided to try o...

“Goodbye Earth” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #89

My mother is going to be the first woman on mars. I know you probably think that I’m lying, but it’s true. I know it’s crazy that my mother is going to be the first woman on mars, but that’s not even the crazy part. The crazy part is, I am going to be the first girl on mars! It was always my mother’s dream that we go to mars together. See my mother’s father—my grandfather—was an astronaut, but he died before he had the chance to get to mars. It was a car accident. Funny how that’s what killed him when everyone said that he’d probably ...

“A Witch's Guide To Being Human” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

Submitted to Contest #88

STEP ONE: Understand and wear the common human fashion of that time. I shut my note book where I wrote all my notes down in. It’s a simple checkered spiral notebook, similar to the ones in the human world I suppose. I hear footsteps hit the cold stone floor of our cave. It must be Mom, she’s a witch like me. She must be returning home from one of her trips. My mother always goes on trips when she’s feeling uninspired. Mom is a writer she writes thick novels about magic and witchy adventures and sells them to the human world, I’ve r...

“Time And Money” by Elizabeth Cat🌟

“Declan Moore! What are you doing?” My little sister—Caitlyn—scolds. “Nothing.” I say, trying to block Caitlyn’s view of the wall with my body. Earlier today when I ran into the house I tripped over my dog—Maple—and my head broke through the drywall. Don’t worry my head’s fine, but the wall isn’t, now there’s a hole in the wall about the size of my head. And I can’t let Caitlyn know, she’ll tell our parents, who aren’t happy that I'm even here in the first place, I just graduated college and I'm supposed to have my own job and apart...
