“Harper's Ruin” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #154

September 28th, 1982The world wouldn’t have blinked if Tommy hadn’t broken his leg...They’d been out fuckin’ around in the woods near their neighborhood, he and his friends, pretending to be shipwrecked pirates exploring the dangerous island. His friend, Harper, who was the Pirate Queen (mostly because she came up with the game and partly because she was kinda mean when she needed to be) had agreed to let him and Marcus climb a nearby tree to scout the area. Marcus had successfully argued that the Pirate Queen would order her minions to do s...

“Pretending To Be Myself” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #107

I have been waking up everyday pretending to be me for nearly four decades.It was an evening in August of 1984 that the world blinked. I was standing at the screen door, an oldies song was playing on the radio, the setting sun making a silhouette of the houses and woods across the street. The scent of late summer barbecue drifting by mixing with that hint on the breeze that it would soon be autumn. My family was sitting out on the front porch talking with neighbors and listening to the schools marching band practice as the custodians made ce...

“Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fonder” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #103

“Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder” I’d never tried the drink before. After the shit week I’d had an Iberian style bar in the middle of a bombed out downtown Tokyo seemed the perfect opportunity. “Coming right up.” The bartender was pretty in that generically androgynous j-pop way that had become globally popular towards the end of the last decade. In fact most of the crowd in the small bar were all of the same type. A few people stood out here and there. Being marginally more pretty or handsome than whatever clichéd cluster they were sta...

“Southern Hospitality” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #77

"What the frilly fuck?" Edwina Walker, known to friends and family as Neddie, mumbled to herself as she gazed out the dining room window of the Smithson's Forest Hills B&B where she lived and worked. Snow was coming down pretty thick. Which did happen on occasion in North Georgia though usually not in summer, three days before the 4th of July. "Hey y'all come looka this." She called out to those back in the kitchen getting breakfast ready."Hang on." Macon, the adopted son of the owners, called out. Neddie thought he was a sweet kid, thou...

“Knight Moves” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #75

"Alright, I'm never time traveling on internal reserves again!" Jake was staring at themselves in the mirror. The last time Jake had travelled back in time was five years ago after the murder of their brother Devlin. The price for that had been 15 years off of their life.Around that time Jake had been going through a transition process in an attempt to make themselves more androgynous. Unfortunately, for them, the mana in their system had been accelerating the testosterone causing Jake to take on a more masculine look than they were aiming f...

“Knight Shift” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #74

9:59 am Dec. 31, 2020Auld Opifex, usually called Aul’ifex by it’s current inhabitants, was the creative heart of the bustling metropolis of New Modorsberg. Once the district for the Craftsman Guilds it was now home for the cities Artist’s Guild. Though there were still legacies from the former in place names such as Weaver Street Tavern and Mason’s Row Cafe. Recently suffering a bout of gentrification the main thoroughfares in Aul’ifex had become relatively safer for most travelers. Though the byways could still be perilous to the unwary, de...

“Winter Knights” by ErikAnne Davis

Submitted to Contest #73

 “Heyla Queerdo, where the hell have you been? We missed you.” Jake Rollins turned to see their friend Kris a beaming smile on his still youthful looking and handsome face, though he was now pushing towards 50 much like Jake. “Heyla Vampiro, taken over the World of Darkness yet?” Kris just laughed “Next Tuesday. Seriously man, missed you, plus there was a pretty sweet gig we could’ve used your mad drummer skillz on.” Jake sighed “Yeah, sorry about that man, there was a bunch of family issues a few months ago. I just needed to get away a...
