“The Fourth Christmas Ticket” by Emilie D

Submitted to Contest #178

2:32 pm Jonathan heard a horn on the quiet street and knew it was meant for him. He quickly snapped a photo of the package he’d dropped on the welcome mat and grabbed the railing to steady himself on the iced over carpeted stairs. (Who carpeted outside an apartment building?) He jogged as safely as he could back to his idling van which was blocking a quarter of a driveway next to the building.  “Sorry!” He shouted to the stone faced driver waiting to pull onto the street.

“Gilded” by Emilie D

Submitted to Contest #122

Alexi The alarm went off and I quickly silenced it. It had been set as a precaution but I had never actually gone to sleep. For weeks I had been watching, waiting. We all had. 96.5 million followers on Jayma’s account meant the whole world was watching.  This morning was a 5am release for me because Jayma lives in London, so the announced time was really 10am GMT. I had kept myself up rewatching her most recent tour documentary and making photo edits for the fan account I ran. Now I opened my instagram and navigated to her page. Sh...
