“Why me!? ” by Laura S

Submitted to Contest #59

A big city, my entire family, yet still alone. A job, an education, part way through a degree, yet still alone. Some friends, parties, messages all the time, yet still...alone. I need to understand this, I don't want to be alone anymore, alone sucks. Let's back track... Ten years ago, I was a shy 11 year old, with some friends, just letting life go on, and enjoying school. I can't say I was the happiest child, but I wasn't depressed or anything, well, not yet anyways. Growing up in the city was fun, all the noise and busy streets, so many sh...

“The SuperHealer” by Laura S

Submitted to Contest #48

Craig Miller was walking home from work one day, when he heard someone cough from across the road. Now, Craig had heard many people cough before, though this time it made him feel different. He did not feel uneasy because of the cough, or have any worries of himself getting sick, it was more of an inspired feeling. He felt tingles up his back that kind of tickled, his ears perked up, and his hands began to shake, but not in a bad way. Initially, Craig had no idea what was going on, and could not figure out why his body was acting this way. E...

You roll your eyes and wait for him to do his worst. You're a fully trained investigator, lead chief poli...

“The Purple Coat” by Laura S

Submitted to Contest #18

"Hello, may I help you?" the little old woman asked me as I wondered slowly around the shop of second hand clothes, accessories and other interestingly dated things. I didn't notice her initially since her slacks and blouse matched the items in what seemed to be well, the entire store, so she kinda camouflaged for a moment there. Old and shabby, used and reused, hand-me-downs that looked to have gone through about nine siblings before ending up here, at Seccy, the shop where things go for another life when someone doesn't want them anymore. ...

“7 Petals” by Laura S

Submitted to Contest #9

I was that typical little girl, the one they talk about in romance movies. I was the one who, as a child, dreamed of finding that one person, my true love, thought the first one would be my forever, my other half, and we would get married and live happily ever after.But it turns out it is just not that easy. Life does not work that way. Love does not happen that way, as I dreamed and hoped it would. Life is hard, love is hard, finding love is hard. Not too hard, but, hard. I wish it wasn't hard. I used to imagine finding love as, one moment ...
