“To Tell a Tale” by Megan Meyerson

Submitted to Contest #42

She could barely button up the back of her dress, her hands shook so badly, and she made sure to wear slippers, as she did not trust her unsteady feet to carry her safely on heels. She did not fully register anything on her way to the banquet: the carriage ride, the walk into the theater, the sounds of the other performers; Breacon’s last, encouraging pat on her shoulder, or the climb up the steps onto the stage.Her eyes took in the audience, clearly visible in the sun’s rays slanting through the colored windows above, and felt the panic she...

“The River” by Megan Meyerson

Submitted to Contest #41

“We almost there, K?” Samuel’s voice was so weak I could barely make out his words. “Not yet, Sam.” I replied, though I had no idea where he was talking about. We weren’t escaping to anywhere, just escaping. I lowered him onto the sand, and he lay there quietly, pale as death. After a few moments, he let out a low moan and then lay still. His breaths came low and ragged, as though each gasp had to fight to get out. I didn’t need to be a medical expert to know that Samuel would draw his last breath this very night if he didn’t see a doc...

Standing at the entrance to the Tunnels, Mira took the map from her pocket and examined it. It seemed to indicate straight ahead, but steep rock walls rose four hundred feet high on all sides.

Her resolve quailed at the wall before her, but she thought of soaring through the sky in the clear, fresh air of the Above, and her determination strengthened. She put the map back into her pocket, stepped up to the wall in front of...

Kathryn swished the skirts of her favorite lilac dress, Sonny firmly perched on her shoulder, his small, scaly wings outstretched to keep him balanced, his front claws clutching his single gold coin protectively. She paused briefly next to the dark marble wall to admire her reflection. “I’m telling you, he tried to kill me!” Squeaked the tiny dragon from her shoulder. “Oh, rubbish,” Kathryn replied. “Why would he ...

“The Three Terrors” by Megan Meyerson

Submitted to Contest #41

Long ago, in a time so forgotten that now only the stars themselves remember, there lived a great wizard. This wizard, although he was great, was foolish, and tampered with things that would have been better left alone. One day, while he was watering his garden, the wizard looked up and found himself face-to-face with a Galeria, one of the darkest creatures known to the magical world. The wizard swallowed his fear, took a step back, and said as calmly as he cou...

“A Star Reborn” by Megan Meyerson

Submitted to Contest #39

The sky shone with a blackness that made Jeanie feel small and easily crushable. A faint breeze brought a chill, and her already aching left knee grumbled quietly. But the breeze seemed to shift a cloud, and the tiniest cluster of stars peeped down at her as she steadied herself on her cane and breathed in the clear, cold Wyoming air. This sky had brought her out here, away from the starless New York City, to teach, explore, and master the intricacies of space by day, and gaze with an unquenchable wonder at the heavens, so far away and unkno...
