β€œFleeing Family” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #97

β€”To all the people who've suffered from the Israel-Palestine Conflict. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” I sit in absolute confusion as I watch the night sky turn to day. Are they fireworks? No, they can’t be. I don’t recall any holiday that’s supposed to be today. They do sound like them though. But what are they? Like when the fireworks go off, I can feel the vibration resonate in me. They make everything shake, each faraway boom rattling every window, including mine. I peek outside my bedroom window and watch as another firework shoots up into the sky, on...

β€œAbandoned” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #96

The stars glitter above me as I lie under a tree, its canopy of leaves shrouding parts of the sky. I sigh to myself, clueless about what to do next. Another night alone.The park is void of people, albeit it’s still pretty early into the night. The water on the lake shimmers like the stars, reflecting a circular silhouette of a pretty blue moon. Only the distant hoots of faraway owls and frequent buzzing of nearby mosquitoes are my companions for the night.I slump against the hard bark of the tree, looking at my back every so often if ants or...

β€œThis Is Not A Dream” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #96

Loud banging on my door jerks me awake, almost making me fall from my bed in the process. The glare of the moonlight from my bedside window strikes my eyes as I rub them vigorously as if that would somehow shake away the hold of sleep. I try to ignore it, but after five minutes of nonstop banging, I force myself up. I search for my fluffy bunny slippers on the floor while the banging continues. At this point, it’s really starting to irritate me. But for once, I’m glad that the power is still out. Otherwise, they’d learn how to use a thing ca...

β€œCanine” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #96

I almost stumble as I raise my chin to the sky, too busy admiring the looming skyscrapers of the Manhattan skyline. I almost bang into someone, but my reflexes are quick and trustworthy. They sneer at me, immediately catcalling as I walk away. It doesn’t bother me though. I’m more than accustomed to the streets of New York. I continue strolling, burying my frosted hands in the pockets of my trench coat. My leather pair of Chelsea boots does me well even in the light layer of fresh snow. My gaze traces the buildings until they reach the sky,...

β€œLost in Japan” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #93

Before I knew it, flowers and a roaring wave of people were all that I could see. When the wave passed, it seemed to have washed away my only ride home. My friend Anne was gone. And she was the only one who could speak Japanese. At this point, you may think that panic consumed me like fire. But no. I just stood there, wondering how the hell I got myself into this situation. Trapped in a foreign country, knowing absolutely nobody, with the inability to even speak the damn language. All I can do is sigh, clutching onto my thick, authentic fox...

β€œUseless Promises” by Jay Luuu

So my word count was 994 words so Imma just use this to reach 1,000. HAHA. Ok, I'll leave now. I hope y'all enjoy this one. I kinda like it. ;) Fireworks light the night sky, coloring the black sky canvas with an explosion of color. The booms and crackles of the fireworks are all that I can hear aside from the people celebrating downstairs. They party their ass off, getting drunk and having the time of their lives. No, thank you. I prefer peace rather than that chaos. And I prefer to enjoy it with my best friend. β€œHappy new year, Kiara!”...

β€œJournal 3” by Jay Luuu

Ahh. I can’t believe I got this done. Sorry if this feels kinda rushed and y’all see a lot of grammar mistakes. I’m in my finals week but can’t seem to find it in myself to study. :’) BUT, I hope you find this sorta nostalgic cos of the ending. If not, then I totally recommend you watch that show. Anywayssss, happy reading! –JLUUU––––––––––––––––––––In the darkness, I hide. My black clothes make it easier for me to blend in with the night. My back flat against the wall, I watch as a security guard passes by me, his gun slung across his shoul...

β€œOne Less Sister” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #90

β€œYou should come join us!” my sister says, so full of excitement and joy. I feel hesitant to join her, especially when the people she wants me to join worships something that isn’t real at all. β€œI really think that you should open your eyes, Aliah,” I say. β€œJust think about it. They worship Mother Earth… Is that red flag not enough?” Aliah is my responsibility, especially since I’m the older sister. Our parents bestowed upon me that responsibility. That was the last thing they ever spoke to us before they died. And ever since, I’ve been s...

β€œI Warned Them” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #90

"Death is the solution to all problems. No man – no problems…" –––––––––––––––––––– The wind howls as the storm only grows, expressing its rage and anger for what we did to it. My windows and doors are boarded, of course. I’m no stranger to category seven storms. They’re as frequent now, normal as the rising of the tides. I pace around the living room, in a fit of nervousness. I tried to warn them… I said it over and over and over again. I pleaded dozens of times. But did they listen? Of course, not. Why would they listen to the only ...

β€œWill She?” by Jay Luuu

Submitted to Contest #89

HI people of the world! This is officially my first story here on this platform. I hope ya’ll like it. I certainly had fun writing this. And I hope you also enjoy reading as much as I did. -JLuuu –––––––––––––––––––––– I totally missed the wet floor sign. I slip and fall on my bottom because of it. You clumsy boy, the voice of my mother says in my head as heat rises from the embarrassment. I feel the glances of other passersby, their stares razor-sharp and screaming invisible remarks. I shrug it off as best I can. They’re petty commen...

Author bio

Takin' a smol break! :) Focusing on my novel right now. Also, I don't really have any idea for this week's prompts. But who knows. Maybe I'll write something. ––––––––– HI people of the world! I haven't been much of a reader ever since last year when the lockdown started. That's when I decided to pick up a book for the very first time in a long while and start reading to help pass the time. I mostly write in first-person POV. I love reading fantasy fiction cause it helps me escape from the harsh reality we all live in. I'm also trying to write some stories that are a different POV to challenge myself. β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” I've posted my TENTH story called "Fleeing Family" I certainly hope that you like it. I'd love to hear your feedback. Don't hesitate to leave a comment on any of my stories. It'd much appreciated! Also shoutout to my first TWENTY followers!! Double digits woo!! Read their stories too.
