Never Did She Break Her Promises

It had been quite a cold morning, and Mackenzie had been out on a morning walk. She was strolling around the pond in her neighborhood when a man in a wheelchair had come out to enjoy the beautiful morning. Mackenzie went up to the man and asked if he wanted her to push him around the pond. The man reluctantly agreed. As they set off on their stroll Mackenzie noticed that there seemed to be something poking out of the dirt. She left the man in the wheelchair and she went to go investigate. As she did, a boy came out of a bush and threw a bric...

A Sister's Love Never Dies

Submitted to Contest #65

I had died last year on November 29, 2019. This would be my first year as a ghost, and everyone else wanted to haunt everyone they hated when they were alive. All I wanted to do was make sure that my little sister, Ally got as much candy as she wanted. She loved candy, and I knew that if she got at least two jack o-lantern buckets of candy she would be less sad about me dying. I also wanted her to kind of forget that my birthday is on Halloween because she would be really sad and not want to go trick-or-treating. I had died of leukemia, and...

Graveyard Romance

Submitted to Contest #65

It was October 30th 2020, and I had been talking with a friend about what we should do for Halloween. We were fourteen years old so we thought we were too old to trick- or- treat, but really we just wanted to impress some of the girls at school. They said they were going to go spend the night in the town’s graveyard, so of course we had to come too. I mean what were we going to do anyway, ‘protect them’? Anyway, I guess we wanted to come out as cool. They probably suggested we came because they liked us already, but hey, that didn’t com...

The Flame of Love

I went into work this morning like no other. It was a super normal day, driving in,sitting down and doing work. I expected nothing of this day. Even though it was the day I nearly died, and met my soulmate. Oh, maybe I should tell you a little bit more about what happened. So basically I work as an account manager at a big tech company. I get paid quite a bit, but I am not rich. You know, kind of like the in between. Well, I am in between everything. I just go with the flow, pretty low key. I’m sure there are many ot...

Elemental Powers

Submitted to Contest #62

The trolls told me I was a lightning when I was younger, but I did not believe them and then I forgot two minutes later. Although I do remember them telling me I would be a Queen. It was funny to me because I was little, and I didn’t even know what Lightning was. I thought it was the little bugs that fly around at night and they look like little night lights all over the sky. Oh, you're probably really confused, aren’t you? Let me explain. The Earth is divided among powers: Water, Ice, Fire, Air, Earth, and Lightning. They used to thi...

Betrayed

Submitted to Contest #62

We were about to be launched into space. The NASA Space Station wanted us to build a NASA Space Colony. It was a colony in space where we would live to move away from Earth. It is just in case the Earth explodes or something, you know. The things that usually happen nowadays. Oh, by the way it is the year 2374. These things can be expected now. The NASA Space Station had gotten to Neptune and they found an alternative life source and now they hate us for coming to their home planet. Hold on, let me backup a little bit. My guy be...

Little Secrets

Submitted to Contest #62

I opened the empty metal tube. I put things that were special to me in it. I also put a secret in it. I buried it in the front yard. I never spoke of it again, until now. I am leaving this diary for my beloved daughter, Lana. This is the exact location of the time capsule and the story of the year after I buried it. The day is October 27, 2018. I just buried the time capsule. Inside are my valuables. Just things that helped me that might help you too. I have also hidden inside a secret that I don’t want you to know of until I am gone. I...

Unlikely Friends

Submitted to Contest #56

There was one other person in the elevator when I had stepped in. I was on the top floor of my seventy-eight floor work office. I was heading down to go back home. The elevator stopped quite abruptly. It was unusual but it was not a problem. We suddenly began to go again. This time it was faster and I could feel it. We locked eyes before we came to a sudden stop once again. We both fell to the ground. A screeching noise haunted me before we started to descend again. Much quicker this time; and what felt like in slow motion we were crushed by...
