She was now a grown-up woman and could get over their sibling fights. Lux never cared much for the fights once they were over and now that his sister was speaking to him again, he hoped to reunite with the sibling banter and talk about her time at university. Still, Lux hoped that his university stories would be funnier than Lianna’s. He was glad she was on the right track to finish her degree in...

Submitted to Contest #93

The Sleepy Snail was quite the reluctant party-goer. Parties were not their cup of tea by a landslide. They weren’t a fan of landslides either. But the promise to their best friend, the Snuggly Slug, was made under the oath of the Big Mollusc Tree – and so the Sleepy Snail had to party-go. The party that the Snuggly Slug invited them to was the greatest feast of the year. It was the annual Gastropod Gala. All the gentlegastropods of the forest and beyond were invited and the Snuggly Slug just didn’t want to miss their chance to shine. All ki...

Submitted to Contest #93

The big ag had long devastated the country. No taint had even been so inescapable, or so despicable. The lunacy and horror of monoculture was its seal. There were clear cuttings, and swift harvests, and then depletion of the nutrients, causing soil decline. The pesticide stains upon the Earth were the pest ban which shut any injured area out from the aid of her fellow-life forms. And the whole attack, advancement, and termination of the human domination, were incidents of two centuries. But Trierarch Arbor was merry and intrepid and shrewd. ...

She just finishing her shift as a nurse. Apparently it was very busy day and I am here to take her home. Stuart was nervously clutching his fists. He knew this would happen.

What an amazing life awaits him!

Maruš Čechová

Submitted to Contest #26

William stepped through the front door into his parent’s house. The decorations were all messed up, but he could feel the presence of his father in the living room, just as he always was, sitting in the middle of the sofa reading yesterday’s newspapers. He was a man who always said that you have to give news a little bit of time to settle in before you give them the permission to fuck up your life.There was a new wall calendar in the corridor since he last came in and as William walked past, his gaze was stuck on it.
