“COLOUR OF LOVE” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #72

In the century after the Covid pandemic died down, things had not yet returned to normal. Everyone was in the state that was called The Eternal lockdown and no government had an idea when things would go back to how they were before. In this state, no one left his or her house and working was primarily from home. New business ideas and ways of doing things had flourished in that condition. Dating sites h...

The competition this year was especially stiff and the two families ...

“INDECISION” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #70

The day that I met Dean and Nick was one of the best days of my life. I had just had my heart broken by Eric a few weeks ago and I was still at the phase where I thought that love wasn't going to happen. I was feeling unlovable and broken; I didn't believe that someone could love me for me. At that moment I felt that my heart was breaking over and over again each day when I remembered what I had shared w...

“A NEW RESOLUTION” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #69

Ever since she was a child all Terry could remember was the endless fights and the loud voices in the house. Whether it was a normal day or a holiday one thing remained constant, the fights in their household. She never got along with her siblings. Or her parents. And it seemed that they too never got along with each other. All the family gatherings and holidays and outings were plagued with raised voice...

“DISAPPEARING ACT” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #68

 This was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives. It was our wedding day. Dean and I had met about two years ago, and it had been love at first sight. We met at a friend's party, and he seemed familiar from the moment our eyes met. I knew I had to talk to him. Something about him kept my attention. The strength in his frame, the confident way he carried himself, the layers to him that I wanted to un...

“WILD SEAS” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #67

It was a Sunday morning like any other, and Michelle woke up early to go for her run. She liked to get out early before the weekend lifestyle families hit the park with their babies and dogs. Michelle wanted the silence, the stillness before the day became busy. She jogged past the road and on to the forest trail. Michelle ran for a few minutes before noticing someone following in her tracks. She took the next turn along...

“PRISONER OF TIME” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #66

Just before Athena got imprisoned by the pantheon, Michael said to her, 'It doesn't count if you are already planning your defeat. You promised to fight for us. Don't give up now.' She still remembered his words on these lonely days and nights, which bled into each other. She never knew what loneliness was until then; these walls trapped her more than steel and stones. Powerless, prisoner to her wants, needs...

“THE DOORWAY” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #65

It was said that every Halloween, the veil between the land of the living and the dead was thin. This meant that things could cross over, and people could reach the other side too. It had been a few months since the gruesome car accident where I died. My husband Robert had survived the crash. All I felt was cold. Deep impenetrable cold in my bones, except I, had no bones. As a ghost, feelings were reduced...

“A FIERY GOODBYE” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #64

The next morning, Steve woke early. There was smoke in the air and I wondered if the cabin was on fire. Once he opened the door, we saw that the forest was on fire. This made our exit hastier. I followed behind him, resigned to our fate. The leaves of the tree closest to the house were on fire, and the flames spread quickly, first to that tree then others surrounding. We raced through the forest, trying to exit before th...

“THE GROTTO” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #63

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire. The flames stretched out, licking the trunk of the tree. Before long, the whole tree was on fire, and the fire leapt to the next and the next. The forest surrounding our love grotto was on fire, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I remembered the words of the legend that you would find true love and face a challenging test. If the test was ...

“Dear Julianne” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Trudy knew that she was not going to make it through the night. In the year 2080, to control population, the World government had made genetic modifications to all women at birth. They could only have one child, and they didn't survive the birth. A life for a life, it was called. As the storm rallied and the wind blew, she cried and screamed in labour. She was pregnant with her daughter. She was saddened to know that her...
