“Trine Family Origin Story (Jet)” by Joseph Robinson

This Tuesday morning started out no different than any of the others did for Jethro Hernandez. The smell of his mother’s black coffee had woken him up as it did so many times before. He could hear his parents talking about their days as they did every morning. Jet leaped out of his bed, washed his face, brushed his teeth and hair, and put on his uniform before going down stairs for breakfast. “Morning, Jet.” His mother says before Jet can even enter the kitchen. “Morning, mom.

“Never Bright (Epilogue)” by Joseph Robinson

Submitted to Contest #76

Epilogue “You just died!” I roared at Rick who smiled at me carelessly. “If it wasn’t for a miracle, you’d still be dead!” Rick’s room threw me off with how normal it was for a prince. The walls were painted blue and the carpet was eggshell white. He had posters of rock bands and movie stars plaster on every wall. “I’m alright, Naveen. I told you already, I’m not throwing in the towel until you and I tie the knot,” Rick chuckled his hair matted on his forehead and his checks flushed red. “Damn it, Rick!” I grabbed the collar of his black...
