“The Costume and The Game” by K.E. Thomas

Submitted to Contest #117

The invite intrigued me. It was a standard Halloween party invitation but printed at the bottom was the slightest mention of a game. There wasn’t an explanation of the game, just that a great reward would be involved for those who played. I loved Halloween and couldn’t wait to go to the party. I began to get ready. A zombie bride was sure to make a splash. Besides, I’d wanted to do something with my wedding dress after my husband ran off with some girl. Finally, I was ready. The costume was complete with a tiara and death white skin. I’d tak...

Submitted to Contest #86

“Abigail, look there is a bud on the apple tree.” Jace pointed towards the little flower. Abigail looked up following his gaze. This was the first sign of spring they had seen. The ground itself was still covered with snow, and most of the living things had taken a grey quality to them. It seemed as if the whole world had been painted white and grey. She smiled at the little pink bud. It had been a hard winter with almost a constant snow fall. There had been times when the two of them had been unsure if they would get their next meal. Money ...

It was the most magnificent creature she’d ever seen. He was built like a supermodel with bulging biceps and rock-hard abs. She must’ve been dreaming. His skin was nearly translucent and blueish but that added to the mystique. His hair was...

Submitted to Contest #82

He placed a slice of avocado on the plate next to the poached eggs and toast. He set the plate on the serving table and rang the bell. The waiter came over and picked up the plate. He closed his eyes for just a minute. Being the chef of one of the best five-star restaurants in the country was exhausting. He was working on one of his new recipes when he heard something vibrating against the counter. He thought it was his phone but didn’t see it anywhere. He focused back on the dish adding lemon zest to the mixture. It was several minutes befo...

“Unknown Hero. ” by K.E. Thomas

Submitted to Contest #80

The day started like most days. I sat down to get report on my nursing home patients. After several months, the day was routine, and the faces were more than familiar; they were family. The night shift nurse looked slightly frazzled as she began. She went through everyone as usual. I’d only been off for a day, so things hadn’t changed that much. The major change was that Miss Bambi wasn’t feeling good and wasn’t out of bed yet. Bambi was a creature of extreme habit. I’d even say borderline OCD about it. I started on my med pass, thinking tha...
