Submitted to Contest #211

“I know it’s here somewhere,” said Linda the Librarian, and yes, she is aware that is an example of alliteration, which if you are under thirteen, she will find very impressive, but if you are over thirteen, she would really prefer if you’d just keep your trap shut. Anyways, Linda continued hurrying through the castle library’s long, dark, and frankly musty rows filled with a voluminous number of ancient texts unt...

“The Navajo” by Gregg Punger

Submitted to Contest #204

Ithel was carefully guiding his brown horse threw a dry creek bed when a light breeze drifted across the sandy plains and for a brief moment sucked some of the heat from his red, sun scorched face.

“The Man” by Gregg Punger

Submitted to Contest #187

“Never Trust a Magician” by Gregg Punger

Submitted to Contest #176

A tall mysterious stranger wearing a slightly, worn multicolored coat and a tall purple top hat strode into the middle of the town square with a box under his arm catching a few of the townspeople’s eyes, but not stopping them from going about their business. He put the box down right in the middle of the square, hopped surprisingly nimbly on top, and exclaimed, “Gather round, gather round, for I have a story to...

“The Complicated Morality of Application Fees” by Gregg Punger

Submitted to Contest #159

Julianna always thought of herself as a kind, generous person, and she never intended to own and run an apartment complex. But, when she inherited the place from her father, who she knew was a horrible miserly man, she just didn’t have the heart to sell the place.

“The Future of Gun Safety” by Gregg Punger

Submitted to Contest #150

“Please don’t do it.” “What was that?” thought Travis. “Please don’t do it.” Travis glanced frantically around him, but no one was there. “Please don’t do it.” “Who’s saying that?” yelled Travis as he raised his AR-15 to his shoulder. “I am,” chirped his rifle. “What?” “You have entered this school’s safety zone. According to U.S.C. § 5874, if you carry me five more...
