“Stranger” by Evi K

Submitted to Contest #249

He turned his waist clockwise, bent slightly backwards, and drew curves on the air with his fingers. Time slowed down; he was moving in slow motion, and everyone around him blended together into a blur. The speakers were playing Sinéad O'Connor. And I fell in love.I didn't believe in love at first sight. He was a proper lesson in irony. The music drowned everyone, and he was the only one who managed to swim. He opened his arms gracefully and slowly. He rotated his body twice, lowered his hands on his chest, and rocked his hips twice, from on...

“See you at six!” by Evi K

The sound my footsteps made had started drowning me. The steady fast-paced "tap-tap-tap", the unending gravel path in front of me, the scorching sun - which had just created a droplet of sweat on my temple. It was all asphyxiating.I unlocked my phone and squinted my eyes to see the screen, which served me with a "06:23" in a bold letters. Or, well, bold numbers. Beneath that, two notifications floated. One was a text from my sister, just a simple "Don't screw it up tomorrow", lovely stuff, made my heart flourish. The other notification, was ...

"Are we really doing this?" Hieu asked, his voice barely audible over the music."Of course!" shouted back the girl.She grabbed his hand and headed outside. Her dark olive skin glowed as it reflected the lights of the club. It probably looks as if I'm being kidnapped, he thought to himself. A tall and beautiful girl walking confidently, dragging a wimpy looking guy behind her.They got outside, the girl wished the doorman a lovely night and quickened her pace towards the parking lot.She looked around excitedly. "Where's your car?" she asked."I...

“Allergy.” by Evi K

Submitted to Contest #92

Work was hard today. Not that it's been much better any other day these past few years. Every day seems to be getting worse and worse. I don't think I could ever move on form her death. I don't think I will ever be able to forget her sweet smile or her warm touch. She gave me life once, only to take it with her when she was gone. Jolene was the only real reason I had some self worth. The only thing in my life I was proud of. And she died. She was killed off, like she didn't matter to the universe. She was killed off, like some sort of side c...

“Strawberry.” by Evi K

Submitted to Contest #81

I looked down at my sneakers and waved my skirt around. "This is so dumb", I kept telling myself. I'd been waiting for Jo for at least 20 minutes now. She wasn't late, I just wanted to make sure I'd be really early. The time was 11:59 am. We'd arranged to meet at 12:00 pm, exactly outside the St James park. She'd be here any moment now, and that really made me nervous. I could feel my heartbeat get faster and my palms getting slightly sweatier. As my mind kept pondering on the fact that I would finally meet the person I'd been chatting w...

“The vampire costume” by Evi K

Submitted to Contest #65

I'd never seen Kelly so restless. Chocolate bars and jelly beans sat comfortably in a bowl right under the light of the little jack o'lantern we carved together. She looked beautiful under its light as well. That's why I loved looking at her while she stood outside. She smiled just like an angel. Her white hand softly picked a chocolate and slipped it in every kid's bag. She then asked, with the most enchanting voice, "What's your favorite color?". She would then proceed to take a jelly bean of the color they said and hand it to them. She wo...
