“CREATURE OF THE NIGHT” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #206

I hate the night especially when there's no light. Bad things happen at this time. Midnight is the witching hour, I need to get to my car as fast as possible or else. Shit! What is that? Growling, low menacing growling. Oh God! something is out here with me, watching me. Keep it together Kat. Keep walking don't look back. There's that growling again. It's behind me. Don't you dare look back Kat. I take out my car keys and run to my car. I hear it behind me. Run Kat, run fast. I see my car. I made it to my car. I press the turn on button....

“SALVATION” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #204

I always wonder what that blue dot in the night sky is. The blue dot shines brighter than all the stars. I look through my telescope every night seeing the blue dot and thinking why are you up there? One night I asked my parents about the blue dot and they always dismiss me. Then late in the middle of the night I overheard my parents talking. They were talking about what I asked them. Is the blue dot that important that they have talk in secret? I did research on my own and discovered that Salvation is the second home to humanity. I was ...

“ROCKET VS TANK” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #203

Hit, punch, kick. Hit, punch, kick, headlock. Rocket and Tank are going head-to-head. Rocket lands another hit. Tank lands a hit. Rocket lands another hit. Tank misses a hit to the head. Rocket lands another hit. Tank lands a kick to the leg. Rocket lands a kick to the leg. Tank misses again. He's getting pissed. Tank lunges at Rocket. Rocket ducks and lands a kick to the stomach.

“FORERVER FRIENDS” by Melinda Madrigal

EVERLY Friendship is when two people meet, share secrets, have sleepovers, go to the movies, go to school, do homework and laugh together.

When I was sad Ace was always there to make me laugh...

“LONELY” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #201

Nobody ever said being at the top was the loneliness job in the world. Nobody ever said being famous was cutthroat and ruthless. Fame kicked me in the butt. It used to be fun and glamorous but not anymore. I use to have fun but that time is no more. I worked hard to get to where I am. I poured all my heart into my work. Blood, sweat and tears, I gave it all. Now I question if everything I gave is worth it. I lost so much time making it to the top. All I want to do now is return to a normal life. My friends and family are gone. No, they a...

“SECRETS OF A SMALL TOWN” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #200

My lips are sealed, that's all I can say. I was sworn to secrecy by the mayor and the town council. I couldn't tell nobody not even my family. If I told anybody what I saw I would disappear that was a promise the mayor made to me. What the mayor and the council didn't understand is that in a small town, rumors spread very quickly. The mayor nor the council could not have stopped the rumors. People talked and they talked a lot. The rumors spread like wildfire. I heard it all. The mayor and the council are stealing the town's money. The m...

“I SAW HIM HE SAW ME THE REST IS HISTORY” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #199

MELANIE History, epic, that's what I call my love story. It was epic from the first moment my eyes landed on Matt. History was our love story and it all began on a sunny spring day. Three years ago, I was walling in the park when my eyes landed on a stranger. I walked passed him but I had this urge to look back so I did. He looked up and saw me. Our eyes met. I couldn't move. I was frozen in place. This perfect stranger started to walk towards me. He was tall with deep green eyes. I couldn't take my eyes away from him. He came up to me a...

“JOURNEY TO ANOTHER TIME” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #196

Maybe in another life I can go to the past or to a different reality and see what life is like for those people. For generations I wondered about the past, about all those people who came before me, the good and the bad. I also wonder about the people who could possible live in a world that is identical to mine own. Are the people the same as the people in my world or are they different? Do we live in the same time period? The past comes alive in my head, the images of the people sit within me ready to be rediscovered. The events of the p...

“A SIDEKICK STORY” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #195

It all began on my first day at hero school. I was nervous, scared and down right petrified. The school was bigger than any other building I ever saw. I was a gawky teenager, nothing to be impressed about. I didn't know what I was doing here. This place was all about the heroes, the sidekicks were an after-thought. No one paid any attention to us. Then one day everything changed. My name is Winifred. This is my story. Everyone talks about heroes. Heroes are brave and strong, unyielding in power and strength. They are the ones children and ...

“FOR YOU” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #193

It's the thought that counts. I always say. You do something nice for people and they don't appreciate what you did for them. The last time I did something for my special someone he was ungrateful. I did away with him. I don't like to be around negative people. I'm a happy person. I like to be around happy people. I smile all the time. I like to make people smile that's who I am. When people say negative things about me it makes me sad. Why would anyone want to be sad? After I did away with that ungrateful man and all the negative people...

“ANGEL'S RING” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #192

A ring symbolizes eternal love from my heart to your heart. My dearest Angel, my love since forever, this ring I found among your belongings was the first sign of my love for you. The first time I put this ring on your finger is the first time I told you I love you. I look at this ring and I still see the seventeen year old girl I fell in love with. The beautiful brown hair, hazel eyes and amazing smile. Angel was and still is the only one for me. In the years me and Angel have been together I gave her other forms of jewelry that symboli...
