Submitted to Contest #51

In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition.Something Nancy wanted me to be oblivious of.Something that made Allen carry a handgun around, though he knew I hated it.Something everyone already knew about — everyone but me.Something I sensed was coming soon, anyways.Something I knew would get me, no matter the lengths I took towards obscurity.Something I feared … something that haunted me each night…I can never escape this nightmare, can I?***The dream started out the same as always, but the e...

“Memory Box” by Kelechi Nwokoma

Submitted to Contest #43

She reaches under her king size bed and lets her hand search for it. She doesn’t need a flashlight to locate her hidden treasure among the loads of rubbish under her bed. Occasionally, her hands brush some junk away, like the cool metal of empty soda cans she finished some days back and promised herself she’d throw away, but didn’t; the soft fabric of the leg of a woolly sock she’ll go on a rampage in a week or two looking for to no avail; and some pieces of crumpled up paper containing failed writing attempts on an essay whose deadline was ...

I sigh in frustration and I’m about to leave her where Dog and I found her when I notice a teardrop making its path down her cheek, stopping on her chin, and ...

Four things on Earth are small, yet they are extremely wise…“Nanina, it’s time to go to forage.” the older female ant says to the younger ant. Nanina wakes up from her sleep and sees the rows of worker ants walking in a single file towards the exit hole. She’s so excited! This is the first time of her entire ant life that she’s leaving the dark, underground confines of her colony’s nest.“I’m ready, Marissa!” she squeals, running around her sister happily on her six feet. Though small, Marissa was an extremely good runner, which is a great as...

Many of our comrades died and all of our possessions are lost, save the ones we had on us during the shipwreck. We are the only survivors.I was the first out of my comrades to awaken. At first, I thought Dr. Clover was dead because he was so pale and that Raphael had a concussion because his head was bleeding....

“FIREWORKS” by Kelechi Nwokoma

Submitted to Contest #40

KateI’m in Jake’s car, which is parked in front of Lisa’s house. Jake was so reluctant to come to her party because he and Lisa broke up about a month ago. He hasn’t quite gotten over it, though but I needed a ride to Lisa’s and he’s the only friend I have that can drive…“I’ll wait for you here.” he tells me for like the hundredth time this evening. He’s going through that awkward post-breakup phase where he doesn’t want to be anywhere where Lisa Waterman is seen.“No. You have to stay with me through this. You owe me one.” I recite back to h...
