“3 In one” by Monica D

I held my breath, I heard the sound of hair being chopped off and smelled the stinky perfume in the building. “Hello, may I help you?” a worker said to me surprisingly enthusiastic. “Yes, I made an appointment here for a haircut,” I said sounding dead and emotionless as I talked. “Oh ok, Name?” The worker said sounding a bit disappointed by my emotionless approach. “Alexandra,” I said in the same emotionless way. “Ahhh yes, come right here,” The worker said back in her enthusiastic way again. Her enthusiasm was suffocating and ann...

“Playtime’s Over” by Monica D

Submitted to Contest #84

The same four walls. The same roof that covers them. The same creaky hardwood floors, so thin they could break. The same cuffs on the benches that their parents had broken out of so many years ago, leaving them wondering what they did to deserve this.The room is frozen and small. The same small room isolates two kids in the dark, as there is no light switch in sight. And if there were a little switch to light a spark in the bulbs over them, they could escape this tiny room and blend into the regular human population. They’ve tried to leave u...

“Odd Bot Out” by Monica D

Submitted to Contest #76

When you aren’t real, you tend to be more secretive around people, even when they think you’re real. The biggest question I ask myself is: am I real or fake? Mason made me, sometimes I forget. And sometimes, I don’t even want to know. Mason just named me 13. I don’t know how to read, write, eat, or drink. I know how to speak. My language, it’s set to English. Sometimes it can be a pain. Sometimes it can be very useful. “13, I have some very exciting news for you!” Mason said. Normally when he’s excited about something, I dislike it. “Yo...

“Tropical To Some, Prison To Others” by Monica D

Submitted to Contest #68

“Isn’t that beautiful? Isn’t this place beautiful?” Daneille says in awe. “You could say that, but it’s just a sunrise…” I say trying to sound bored, but that sunrise was extraordinarily beautiful, even through the hotel’s window. “I have a question...Who am I? Who are we?” I ask? “You should know who you are Ivory...Like you know I'm Daneille,” Daneille says quirky and curious why I asked. “Yeah but...that’s our names not who we are…” I say again. Why doesn’t she get my question?“Oh Ivory, chill out we don’t need to know...

“The Soccer Tryout: Cara And Dan” by Monica D

“Cara and Dan were the best couple in their high school,” Dill says as he starts the next chapter. “Dan? I’m not sure if you’ll agree to this but...I am going to do soccer tryouts…” Cara says with a shrill voice. Cara doesn’t know if Dan would like this because Cara is the most exuberant girl in school.  “Is that why you were acting differently? Ya know. It’s fine…” Dan says, unsure of his choice to say that. What could happen to her if she gets hurt? What if she gets hurt!? “Thank you so much for understanding! I’m so relieved an...

“Carlos, what are you doing? Come here,” Our mom beckons to him. Carlos is my older brother... let’s just say we are very different people. “Your teacher called and said you broke the rules and when you were told to come back to school you refused.” Mom looks like she would explode Carlos never listens to her and does it anyway, but I don’t get how he always gets away with it. “Mom, Dan dared me to do it and said he would never be my friend if I didn’t.

A bell rattled calling all their men to kill me, their trader and murderer but I didn't kill on purpose I was forced, and I’m now running for my life. The only way out is the woods. But this isn’t any other type of woods. It has zombies that come out of the ground, trolls that can crush me with one finger and Wolfs that rule the night. I have no other choice. It’s die now or die later. I ran in knowing that they would stop chasing me here. I need to survive this forest, I need to find the stone of doom to break it. I heard that it is found o...
