“The Picking” by Nat S

Submitted to Contest #52

Every year one person was sent to the moon. No one knew why this tradition had lasted so long, the story was lost in history, but they continued to do so every year. The person was chosen randomly, so no one fought that it was not fair. The Picking took place every tenth month of the year of the first day. The person was shipped off on a rocket exactly one week from then. The Picking was always a very stressful time for everyone. Not much work was completed during that time, but that was okay.

“Snowstorm” by Nat S

I counted ten of these small treasures. There we...

My Dragon, My Tower, My Home I stay in this tower so I do not hurt the others. This tower is my home. It has been for as long as I can remember. Countless princes, knights, and peasants have come by searching for a supposed dragon and the beautiful girl in the tower. I tell them I do not want to leave when they promise me riches beyond compare or a nice life as a housewife. No is always my answer, but not everyone listens. Many have died trying to forcefully take me. That is al...

“Tears” by Nat S

Submitted to Contest #42

Tears No one ever really knows when they are going to die. With the new technological advancements, it is easier to predict and prevent, but there was one group of people whom the machines could not Read. Many inventors have pored over books and tinkered with them, but no one could come up with anything. Mae was one of the Accidents, as they were called, an unrelated group of people whom the machines could not Read. Engineers, doctors, inventors, and many more were called in to...
