“One Last Chance” by Jasper Hutchings

We only had one last chance. The odds were not in our favor. “Are you almost done?” Rune pestered anxiously, hovering over the alchemist concentrating hard on their concoction. “Are you almost done?” the alchemist responded mockingly. “I’ll be done, when I’m done,” they grumbled annoyed at the frequency of this question. Rune glared at them and kept pacing around the cramped, dimly lit room. Both of them had been cramped in the hideaway for weeks. They were waiting on the last hope their entire world might have. It was just a small hole in t...

“The Fallen Ravens” by Jasper Hutchings

Submitted to Contest #56

Their eyes fell over me. It was like they were staring deep into my soul. They either looked at me with disgust or looks of death.  I could barely see their faces. It was midnight, and everyone besides me were all wearing all black. They were all wearing black cloaks as well, some with hoods-up, others hoods down. I knew I was unwelcome with them. I gazed desperately around them looking for a friendly face or friendly pair of eyes. As I looked around I saw a boy looking away, down at his feet. His hood was down, he had extremely pale sk...

“Some Kind Of Hero” by Jasper Hutchings

Submitted to Contest #55

“She asked me to do something for her. She said she couldn’t. That she would get in trouble if she got caught.  That is I was there!” I yelled at the men as they tied me up. They scoffed. . I had a blindfold on and couldn’t see. The air smelled like salt and puke “I don’t work with anyone! I am a civilian!” I yelled. “Silence!” One of the men yelled at me, he had  a thick Italian accent. “If you are innocent, then why do you have these with you?” the other man said, this man had a thick Russian accent. One of them ripped my blindfo...

“What If I Told You I Was A Cat?” by Jasper Hutchings

Submitted to Contest #44

"Okay, fine I choose truth." I said. Me and my closest friend Lillian were playing Truth Or Dare. She had coaxed me into it. "Tell me something that you've never told anyone." Lillian said."Okay, you can't tell me but I am really a cat. That is so nice to get off my chest." I said with a sigh of relief. Lillian looked at me aghast."Yeah right," she scoffed. "You are just as human as me." Lillian rolled her eyes. "Do you want me to show you?" I asked with a smirk. "Yeah sure." Lillian said, turning her attention back to her boo...

“One Last Goodbye” by Jasper Hutchings

Submitted to Contest #44

It couldn't be. It was too soon. I felt tears roll down my face. "Goodbye," I said, my voice cracking. I stared at Jamie's peaceful face, he had just passed away from an accident. A car crash. It looked like he was only asleep in the rosewood coffin. It didn't seem real until today. Today was his funeral. I wiped the tears away. I hated crying in public but I couldn't seem to hold the tears back. I felt my mom squeeze my shoulders. We walked slowly over to our seats. I felt unsteady. The seat was hard but few things felt soft since...

“Wishing Candle” by Jasper Hutchings

Submitted to Contest #43

Sadie wandered around the meadow surrounding the little stone cottage she called home. She walked along a small brook. Dropping rocks into the brook as she walked along it. Sadie felt a wide grin spread across. The sun was setting, a beautiful sunset was emerging. The meadows were her favorite places to explore. The wildflowers grow freely there. It felt as though they melted all her worries away. She slowly walked on the dirt path back to the cottage. Her knee-high paint-stained black shorts brushed against the hanging grass. Sadie wal...
