“My Name's Nikki” by Joey Snell

Submitted to Contest #80

“What I saw made me realise that things need to change. Not for me, I’m out now, I managed to escape the system, but for everyone whose still there, who will be there.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my long blonde hair. When I got out of there, I almost danced towards you, but then I looked back and saw Jill watching me and waving and I knew, she wasn’t getting out anytime soon. Ellie sipped her co...

“For Jo” by Joey Snell

Submitted to Contest #79

For Jo If I hadn’t been honest then I never would’ve ended up here. People say honesty is the best policy, me, I say honesty is over-rated. “Be real about how you feel and we can decide how best to help you,” they tried to convince me. Only (true to form) I was snarky with the psychiatrist and then they locked me up. Not my finest hour. However, when someone asks you,

She wore it with a black cardigan that reached nearly to her ankles and was laug...

"Jacqui? Jacqui?" A gentle shake to my shoulder. "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned." "Jacqui?" more insistent this time. The rosary beads threaded between my fingers and ...

“Spatula Gate” by Joey Snell

Submitted to Contest #69

Spatula Gate Okay, so I threw a spatula at him. In fairness, he deserved it. A wooden spoon probably would have done less damage, but that was at the bottom of the washing up bowl; a knife probably more (too far away) - although maybe not with the accuracy level of my javelin style rage. The spatula happened to be the thing I was washing up at the time, the ...

“Not me” by Joey Snell

Submitted to Contest #68

"I didn't know what else to do," I admitted, not able to hold my sister's gaze. I twirled a strand of my long blonde hair around my finger. "I never should have gone along with it.""Why?" I could imagine the colour draining from her already pale face, a face that would be marred with confusion and her eyes welling up with tears. That's what I was sure I'd have seen, if I'd been brave enough to look at her face. Which I wasn't."I promised," even I could hear the pleading justification in my voice. Back then, I'd felt pushed i...
