“Viburnum's charm” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #61

The enchanting appearance of the pretty little things hit her with a wave of nostalgia, infiltrating her mind. She remembered them lovingly, with a sense of acknowledgement. Yes, these were the ones. These were the flowers that shaped her into who she was today. Her wealth, husband, children, and reputation, she owed everything to them. The Viburnum flowers. The light and refreshing flowers that gave her a sense of security. The ones that helped establish her position in the upper-class. Iris was sitting in her lavish backyard, recalling h...

“Unusual friendship” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #56

When she looks at Myra with her amber gold eyes, she furrows her brow, creating a frown. Glistening sweat is clearly dripping from her face, causing the shirt to become transparent. Myra looks away, the redness creeping up to her cheeks. The garments beneath Kat’s clothes are easily visible and she can't help but give her some privacy.“The hell you standing there for? Ain’t you gonna arrest them?” She exclaims, sarcasm dripping from her tone. Myra turns her head, her instant focus on that gangster’s words which are harsh yet true. Kat glance...

“Mask of Grace” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #54

Her captivatingly elegant movements are a magnificent sight to behold. The girl’s silky long hair cascade down her slim shoulders, as she alluringly wraps her slender and pale fingers around the wisps of her perfectly-trimmed strands. She gently pushes them back, towards her slightly rounded ears with light delicacy. Her each and every action is extraordinarily fascinating with no dynamism. She is attentively reading the current page in the enormous classroom laid out as a structure of a giant rectangle. The silent gust of wind goes past h...

“Bizarre feelings towards Him” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #53

When the warm wind blew as a whistle on my fair skin, that’s when it all changed. In that brief moment and time, I felt the most fascinating feeling in my heart. It was beating rapidly and my heart rate kept increasing as he continued approaching me. I blushed a crimson red shuffling my feet lightly, anxiousness clearly visible on my face. I tucked a strand of my chocolate hazel hair shyly and quietly fiddled with my fingers under the clouded late-afternoon sky. But, I was immediately disappointed. I turn around, looking at the slightly narr...

“His return” by Fatima Faisal

“Don’t go….. don’t go, please!” That’s all it takes for her to jerk back to reality. In a state of panic and anxiety, she pants quickly, gulping down the water next to her bedside. Then, she slowly starts wiping down the rest that are gradually trickling down her slim neckline. Droplets of water form in her crystal clear eyes, ones which are sparkling like a gem, in the shimmering light of the sun. He isn’t alive and that’s it, period. She has had enough of these horrible nightmares. After all, today is going to be her very first day at the ...

“My name is Lara” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #51

"Move out immediately! Get to the former location that child was at and restrict any by passers who seem 'curious' about the situation!" I quicken my graceful pace with my team right behind me. "If I'm right, then that child should still be in his home," a subordinate officer from behind me commented in a light whisper making me instantly snap my head towards his fleeting direction. "Contact the city's borders and make sure to tell them to inspect every car passing," I glare at him intensely with a murderous look, "You never know WHERE he mi...

“That one special summer afternoon” by Fatima Faisal

Submitted to Contest #50

Happiness coursed through my veins as I closely looked over the glazing mountains, the old memories suddenly hitting me like a loud bang. The cold breeze whistled past me as I cast a fleeting glance towards the outside world from the tiny window. I unconsciously smiled, putting the strands of chocolate brown hair behind my ear. The day felt beautiful, with no one to disturb me in regards to worldly matters. Gazing at the adorable creatures of the wild, I felt extremely glad that I made this decision. I stretched my long arms and made a sharp...
