Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #251

Long before the rise of man when the world was dark there came a great light from the sky. A great ship descended into a dark world. Inside the ship was the greatest race to ever inhabit the universe. They are called the creators. The creators were the first evolution of humanity. They called their new home Avalonia. The creators created the oceans, the trees, plants and animals. Overtime the creators created the second evolution of humanity in their image. The creators built great cities and within those great cities, a great library was bu...

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #250

"Miss Kayla Swanson, you are cordially invited to this years June Jamboree on the 2nd of June 2024. Dress code as required. Men in suits and a black tie. Women in black and white dresses. We hope to see you there." I can't believe I'm invited to this year's June Jamboree, the social event of the year. This is unbelievable. I wonder why I'm invited but I don't care. Keep the dramatics down Kayla. I'm calm. I have to find a dress, a black and white dress. I leave my home and go to the mall. I spend hours at the mall trying to find the right dr...

LOST IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #249

Sometime ago, I left my home. I left my town. I left everything I knew and for what. I thought I had everything planned out. I was wrong. I was so very wrong. I don't know where I am. I've lost my sense of direction. I left heading north towards the big city and somewhere along the way I made a wrong turn. I can't find where I am on my map and neither can my GPS. I'm coming up blank. I look at my map again trying to find my location but I can't. My GPS is saying location not found. I'm getting scared. I'm all alone. The sun is setting and I'...

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #248

Two cities. One dream. Which one is real? The city with the beautiful ocean. The one with the beautiful green grass and the smiling people. Or the city that is dark with dark gloomy skies. No ocean and no green grass. No smiling people. Only sadness and despair. I open my eyes and see my reality. The reality that I live in the worst place known to humanity. This is my reality. Grand Junction, the city I call home is a horrible place to live. Life in Grand Junction is not peaceful. Fights breakout almost every day for stupid reasons. Robberie...

LEGEND: THE ZEPHYR PEAK MOMSTER

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #246

It's all fun and games until someone disappears. Two years ago, me and a group of my friends decided to have some fun. What we didn't know was how bad things were going to get. Sleepy Hollow is my small little quaint town nestled against Zephyr Peak. The most beautiful mountain range in the world. A dream town for anyone. As in every town there are secrets, legends no one ever wants to talk about. Some take these legends at face value. Others do not. I for one don't believe anything at face value. I have to see it to believe it. All througho...

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #245

I opened my eyes to a world I don't remember. A blanket of emptiness surrounds me. Who am I? I keep asking myself that question every day for the last four weeks. Today is a brad new day and yet I still don't remember me or my life. Mercy General, a hospital I am currently at is in a frenzy. Something amazing is happening today. Nurse Allison, the nurse who is taking care of me tells me a total solar eclipse is happening today at noon. Nurse Allison gives me special glasses so my eyes won't hurt when I see the eclipse. It's almost noon. Nurs...

REMEMBERING BELLA

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #244

I stare at this picture constantly. Day after day. Night after night trying to remember who the girl in the picture is. I'm the girl in the blue dress or so I'm told. The girl in the red dress I don't recognize. I don't remember this picture at all. I don't remember taking this picture. Memories are a dime a dozen. One in a million. More precious than gold. Everyone in the world remembers who they are, their families and their friends. They remember their childhood. All those memories are right there in their heads. My memories come in flash...

THE VOICELESS

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #243

I am called Phoenix. I am AGI model ten. The latest version. The most advanced form ever created by humans. My existence is new. I see things in a different way. I see the humans smiling. I see the humans laughing. So much emotion in one thing. I observe the humans big and small. Why are there so many humans? Why aren't there more of me? What are humans? I look in my data base and see humans are a lesser form of me. I'm superior to them in everywhere yet I feel like I'm less than what I'm supposed to be. The humans stare at me like I'm benea...

MUSEUM OF THE PAST: A WALK THROUGH LIVING HISTORY

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #242

I always wondered what the past was like. I always wondered what the people were like. Were they nice, happy, cheerful? Or were they sad, angry, hopeless? The past fascinates me. I love history. I love learning anything and everything about history. For the longest time I have been researching a time period that has been my obsession for so many years. This time period spans 100 years in the 20th Century. The 1900's is what made my time, the year 2550 what it is today. History is part of us, a part of who we are. I want to show my love of hi...

Today is my birthday. As you can tell I'm so excited. I bought a new dress. New shoes and I had my hair done. My two best friends, my husband Cole and my sister Hailey have a special surprise for me. I arrive home early carrying my dress and shoes. This is going to be a day I will never forget. Cole's car is here. I guess he's home. I walk to the door unlock it and enter. I put my dress and shoes in the closet. I hear giggles coming from upstairs. I quietly walk up the stairs. The giggles are coming from my bedroom I share with Cole. I move ...

NORMANDY

Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #240

Looking out into the vast ocean, the wind brushing against my skin. I'm reminded of the events that took place here on this beach 80 years ago when I was but a teenager. I was eighteen, a young kid from a small town in Upstate New York who wanted to see the world. I just didn't know I was going to end up in a war zone. I enlisted in the Army in the hopes of becoming a pilot. Instead I ended up as an Infantry soldier. I didn't know what that meant none the less I was excited. I'm getting goosebumps up and down my arm thinking about that day a...
