“Reflection” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #102

I tightly held my mum’s hand and lead her to my room. The lights had gone off and the dark always scared me. Every tick of the clock would make my heartbeat even faster. It felt like every second it got darker and darker. The bedroom was just tidy enough to show that I cared about the space and just messy enough to show that I was able to let her creativity roam free. My mum gently tucked me into bed and kissed me on the forehead.“Mumma, can you sing a lullaby for me?”“A lullaby? Aren’t you a bit too old for those?”“N...

“Temor” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #96

As I glanced back one last time at the empty room, tears flooded my eyes. The room that once used to be used when my parents had childish arguments was now empty. The guest bedroom was probably the one we used the least, but probably the closest to our hearts. The deep red suitcases distracted from the once pastel blue walls which looked like a gloomy sky. We had to move houses after my dad left us… It’s been tough but I think I’m getting the hang of this.“¿Listo para ir?” My mum said.“Io penso di essere”We...

“A sense of mystery” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Can you keep a secret?1903 May 26thToday was the first day I met him. He seemed nice. There was always a sense of mystery about him. As if he was keeping a secret. Something that kept me from fully understanding him. But I’ll get there. My favourite thing about him was that he appeared dangerous. Not the threatening dangerous but the adventurous dangerous.1913 March 6th (Pr...

“Message to Reedsy” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Copy and paste to spread the message (with signature.)Dear Reedsy,I've emailed you endless and endless times, however, you ignored it. I NEED you to reply, please. It's all about downvoting. "Oh, this is just a thing about downvoting, B-O-R-I-N-G!" And skip.I know many people believe that only the downvote button shouldn't exist.

“Redemption” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

I look up to the sky,It’s a clear night,Except for my rock of sins,different shades, never to fade insight.they say our sins washed away,I say mine never will as my sins are plenty,or else I wouldn’t feel this void,A void in my stomach that makes me feel empty.I wouldn’t feel this guilt,This guilt that’s piled up in that void.If sins really do wash away,Mine would as well along with the fluid.Every time I gaze up at the end...

“Free” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #89

I took the leap. Leap of faith. I landed safely. I realized I really was in the middle of nowhere. The only thing I saw was an old railway track and a tiny train station in the distance. I knew exactly what to do. I ran. I ran wild. I was finally free. Hours before… In those dark days after the ambush, after our children were abducted, the grief was enough to sink the strong. Our hearts we...

“Counting Stars” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #61

The sky is beautiful today evening. When the last sun rays of the day kiss the heathland, when the oranges and purples melt into grey under the moonlight. They move slowly, lolloping in their ungainly way, modifying as they go. They go so slow yet so fast. I can’t even get started on how short the beauty of the sunset lasts. Sometimes I watch them for a while, but today I have to go to the forest so that my dad could teach me rabbit hunting. I know, I live in a city and yet do this. Why? I guess it’s because we used to live in the country...

“Amara” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

The world is as silent as if it ended in the night. The sun is still resolutely below the horizon and the street is as dark as some old-school black and white movie. As I close my eyes, I feel the heady pull of my dreams, beckoning me back to play. Like a little kid at the swings who's been told it's home-time, I turn begrudgingly to the light switch and flick it, immediately the room is bathed in that unnatural electric...

“Dear Emmeline” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #59

𝙳𝚎𝚌𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝟸𝟹𝚛𝚍 𝟸𝟶𝟷𝟿Dear Emmeline I don’t even know why I’m writing this as letters can’t be delivered to heaven. But I guess my daughter is the person I love the most. So, even if this isn’t going to send to you, I’ll be contented that the name after ‘Dear’ in this letter was yours. After moving here for work, I just haven’t felt the same. I guess you could call me lonely, but over time I have learned how to lessen the pain. For example, the cafe is my refuge, this place I can make belie...

“Murder convolution” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

I sat down on the scarlet red couch and laid my legs on top of the circular table in front. As the front window was left open, I could feel the unsettling breeze come in. picking up my coffee, I decided to inspect today’s newspaper as well. The steaming coffee rushed a warm sensation throughout my whole body. “no new crimes going on… That’s surprising!” I mumbled under my breath.I tend to talk to myself a lot, I wish I didn’t actually. Another lackluster day had passed, and I had no hope to find a case. Zzzzz-zzzzzz. My phone start...

“Zamora Part 2: Sinking Submarine” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Author's Note: This story won't really make a ton of sense on its own so I recommend reading Part 1 before! Enjoy (Sorry this took a long time)The egg yolk sun poured through the cracks in the blind and awaited entrance into my eyes. The sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, I hesitantly rub the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with little success.Then I realize what’s today.I jump off my bed as if sl...

“Zamora Part 1: Lunar Mission” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Submitted to Contest #57

I yawned deeply and turned to my side. I spotted my giant calendar hanging on two pins. My clothes from yesterday were lying on the floor looking rather forlorn. My markers were scattered on my study desk and I little piece of paper with my name written in different fonts. That must be from the day before yesterday when I was bored so I wrote my name to see which fonts it looked best in. I slowly got up and cu...

“Lord of the gazelles.” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

The cruel sun beat down, it's one malevolent eye unblinking, with not even a thread of cloud to soften the harsh rays. The lizards took shelter in the shadows of the rocks where the sand was not hot enough to roast them, but there was no shade large enough for us. Each step sunk into the burning sand, the air was thick and hazy, each breath like drowning in the larva. The desert is the scorching version of the vast sea.My eyes were burning as I rested on my camel. There was nothing else than sand to be seen except for th...

“Reality show” by 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙞 ☾

Author's Note: Hey! This is my first story, please give me any the feedback and critiques.I woke up to the bright rays of sunlight penetrating through the window rubbing my eyes and squinting. I admired the blush pink and canary, merge in the sky creating a breathtaking scenic view from my window. A sense of excitement swept over me as I headed straight towards the window to be welcomed by fresh icy breeze. The steep ice coated mountains, their tips covered in a layer of pure white snow rest underneath the iride...
