Sacrifices

The quest for life. That’s what this had been named by the Statistical Intergalactic Exploration Data Association or SIEDA. I’d spent years in this spaceship. I floated between zero gravity and artificial gravity. I floated between hope and despair. I could not stop. I walked along the halls of the ship to the “party room” as the crewmembers had started to call it. I grabbed a “smoothie” from the “fridge” and started slurping. It tasted awful but I was used to that. I hated everything about this place. I hated the peo...

Good Things Come to Those who Wait

“Excited for tomorrow?” “Ha,” I answered. Excited for Valentine’s Day? I don’t think so. “I’ll take that as a no,” my best friend Emersyn replied. She turned towards her boyfriend and they shared a secret smile. The three of us were standing at my locker while I pulled out not one, or two but three books and shoved them into my bulging backpack. “Come on Cora,” Josh (her boyfriend) said. “You should ask someone out and we can all go on a double date. There’s no better day than Valentine’s Day.” I gave him a sarcastic grin...

Just a Dream

Submitted to Contest #94

“They’re here for you.” My chest tightened. I looked at my mother for guidance. “You need to come with me.” She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door. I could see her hands shaking as she slowly undid the lock. We ran outside and jumped into the gray minivan. The sky above our house was dark and ominous. The heavy clouds promised rain while the wind began to slowly speed up. Not a single star could be seen. We pulled out of the driveway and began driving. I looked out of the window but saw nothing. I was uns...

The Song of my Heart

Submitted to Contest #94

Author’s Note: Song titles, band names and lyrics belong only to the creator. I'm just using them for the sake of the story. I looked into her deep golden brown eyes. I was sinking and I didn’t even care. Her hand was warm and comforting in my own. Her indescribably beautiful silky golden hair brushed against my face. My heart slowly began to pound as I watched her for longer and longer. I could tell she was nervous. Her eyes kept darting around and her cheeks looked flushed. I wanted to comfort her but I knew she wouldn’t want tha...

The Queen's Gala

Submitted to Contest #93

I pulled the dress over my head and slid my arms through. It settled onto my shoulders comfortably and flowed outward. The gown was made of fine silk. The sleeves went just below my elbows. It was tight around my waist and then fell down to my feet. The dress was a deep shade of magenta that contrasted my blonde hair beautifully. My hair was done in beautiful curls. My bangs were pulled backwards by a majestic silver headband decorated with sparkling crystals. I slid my ring over my right third-finger. The band of silver reflected ...

Story in the Dark

Submitted to Contest #92

It was an average day for the Conner family. Mother, Father and Daughter sitting eating supper at the dinner table. The smell of meat loaf circled throughout the kitchen and the dog lay drooling at their feet. It could have been taken out of a book. The perfect scene of the perfect family. Emmaline, the mother, was about to begin washing the dishes when the light flickered. “Looks like we need a new bulb,” the father, James, remarked. He picked up his novel and opened to the beginning. Valorie, the girl, slipped some food to the ba...
