“Charles' New World” by Laurie King

Submitted to Contest #105

Ever since he had fallen off that horse and injured his eyes a few years ago, he hadn’t been able to see. His Doctor had put him on the transplant list for new corneas, but so far, none had arrived; until today.

Lianna was a quiet girl, who most people thought wasn’t very smart and was very shy. But, in reality, she was one of the smartest kids in her class of the 7th grade.

One beautiful, crisp, fall day, when Adam was out walking his dog, Captain, and he came across an old barn with quite a few windows broken in it. He would’ve kept going, had he not heard tiny little sounds coming from inside.

They were meowing softly, and rolling around. There was a calico, a black kitten, a tiger striped and an orange kitten. They were so adorable, that Adam was instan...

“Bella's Life In Maldivia” by Laurie King

Submitted to Contest #96

Bella got off the bus and, wiping the dust off her boots, looked around her at the quaint small town of Maldivia, and sighed. She had just traveled 10 hours by bus and she had no idea where she was going to sleep, let alone what she was going to eat! She picked up her suitcase and trudged along the main street, towards the Captain’s Bed and Breakfast, and hoped she would find some friendly people there, who would be willing to help her out. She opened the door and a bell jingled, and pleasant women, wi...
