This one doesn't relate to the prompt though. Hope you guys like it! Enjoy!The Plan All AlongBy: Meera LakshmiMatthew:God these people are stupid. Did they really think I was that dumb? I knew all about their plan. Send someone in, take me captive, the usual. I didn’t think they would send in an android, but one look from them and I knew. So, I clicked her power button.

“First Kiss” by Meera Lakshmi

Quick note: This story is quite short, and has nothing to do with the prompt. I haven't really written many things with romance in them so, I hope you like it! Feel free to leave feedback in the comments below! Thanks!My name is April. April June. Yes, I am named after two months. Don’t hate me because of that. I’m also a sucker for romance. I’m 14 and waiting to have my first kiss. But, I don’t think anyone would actually like me.

“Mission Not Accomplished” by Meera Lakshmi

Submitted to Contest #82

Please tell Rivshner that the android needs to be deployed. Please help him with transportation. I expect everything to be in position by tomorrow at noon. We are on a tight schedule. There is no room for error.” The sound of her stern voice bounced off the walls of the echoing hall. “Yes, ma’am,” I said as I quickly turned away to follow her instructions. “Wait, Zira. Be car...

“The Graveyard” by Meera Lakshmi

“Fail or Do a Dare” by Meera Lakshmi

Submitted to Contest #67

I’m poor. Go ahead laugh. Go ahead and shame me, you obnoxious rich people. My family has just enough money to pay for food. We live on the streets because my mom is out of a job and my dad is a janitor who scraps the gunk of school pillars in our town and mops city hall’s floors. I have a sister who was just born. She is my life and I love her. I’d do anything for her like I'd anything for my best friend Fiona. She is the one person I know who doesn’t shame me or my family for our situation at hand. She also teaches me school. She is like m...

“The Secret” by Meera Lakshmi

Submitted to Contest #64

I have a secret. Doesn’t everyone? Stop gawking at me! It’s just a secret. I thought readers weren’t supposed to judge me. But my secret is dangerous. Well, it's not MY secret. It's our secret. A family secret. But it could destroy everything if it got out. No, stop badgering me. I’m not telling you. Well, at least not now. It’s hard, you know. I have a little sister. And she’s 8. But she doesn’t know how to keep secrets. So my parents obviously didn’t tell her. But, she overheard my older sister telling me. So, now we are brainstorming how ...
