Submitted to Contest #86

He used to be an auctioneer so his loud and fast paced voice is perfect for this role. “But I’ll go over it for a couple of the new faces we got here today.” I look around to spot my roommate and friends from college, my niece, a few of my cousins I haven’t seen for a while and other faces who seem familiar but I can’t quite identify. “First, you’ve all been given an envelope with a clue to the items you’ll have to find.” His loud voice wakes me up from my pondering o...

Misty thrust her spear as hard as she could but whiffed on the small manta ray she was currently focused on. “Ooof!” was the sound that went out of her mouth as water went in. She quickly swam her way to the surface, coughed out the water and grabbed her shoulder. Missing with her spear wasn’t something she did very often but any time it happened it never felt good.Disappointed, she gingerly swam back to the shore.

Author bio

I'm a weirdo in a world full of normals. I'm an Accountant by day but athlete, gamer and sports enthusiast by night. I mostly write as a hobby and something to keep my mind occupied but found it's a great way of expressing my thoughts through characters. Yes I always like my stories, but why write if you don't like what you've written?
