Submitted to Contest #69

"NO! You idiot, you were supposed to copy the paper, not fax it to all of our customers!! You-you-" Cassy's face turned red as she yelled at Hearty. She took a deep breath, made an odd motion with her hands, and said quietly "Can I not trust you to do a simple task, Hearty? Now all of our customers know about our offer. They weren't supposed to unless they looked at the website. Now it's guaranteed that they'll...

“The Russian Spy” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #68

It had been twenty-four years since she'd last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. Nataliya Romanova stared up at the towering skyscraper, covered in shining glass, reflecting on the clear blue sky above. She turned to the two men behind her, her shoulder-length red waves swinging behind her. The first man was stout and carried a yellow briefcase. The second was tall and dressed sharply, with a long bl...

“The Holder of The Forresst Wand” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #65

The moon hung high in the sky, giving off a pale, waxy glow. Dark clouds moved swiftly across the ink black sky, all avoiding the same thing. A meeting was being held in the black forest of Hallows Creek, and evils from all around had gathered for the night to meet for the annual meeting on All Hallows Eve. Gringeta, a witch from overseas living in the abandoned castles of Ireland, flew across the sky, flipping up...

“Fall Fires (and Other Things That I Deal With on a Daily Basis)” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #63

By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire. Now, how they got that way is rather complicated, so I'd prefer not to tell you. But alas, when I introduce a story like that, it's hard to not tell you. So I'll start from the beginning. 30 minutes Earlier I stepped outside onto my front porch, and was greeted by a chilly gust of autumn wind. I tightened my scarf and smil...

"No," Jennifer Stik said the moment she laid eyes on it. "No, no, no."The envelope was small and white, with dainty little birds decorating the edges. It was addressed to Jennafer Style, from 'The Meeting RHS Corporation.'Jennifer knew exactly what it was. And she'd been trying for 10 years to avoid it."Of course they spelled my name wrong. OF COURSE!!" Jennifer yelled, throwing her hands up into the air in frustration. Her fiancé, Dellard Buchots, poked his head into the kitchen."Honey, are you okay?" He asked...

“Rumors, Murders, and Me” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #57

Karron had always known Angelica as the smart type. She would never do anything stupid- she was the kind of girl who would do some adventurous stuff that wasn't dangerous. Like white water rafting. Okay, that was a little dangerous, but it was beside the point. She wouldn't jump off a building. She wouldn't drink alcohol. Angelica was a sneaky good girl- she was a bad girl who never got caught.Everything began a few months ago. The Gang was strolling through Pawling High School, preparing for a big history test about foreign wars. ...

“Hosted by Kendra Derkins” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #54

"Olyvia, I swear--" Sally Derkins said through clenched teeth. Olyvia gave her a sheepish smile."Sorry, miss, it happened again, I know, but I can fix it, just hold still-"Olyvia's thick Welsh accent rang through Sally's ears like a train whistle- high and annoying. Although, Sally only found her voice annoying when she was annoyed with her."This company's a real jerk, I need to bring this to the attention of the studio-""You know what, that will be fine, thank you," Sally said, irritated, standing up and rippi...

It all started on Wednesday.I was just scrolling through my phone, when I noticed this app that I had never seen before- Real Romance. My first thought was 'what the heck is this?', since I had basically never downloaded any app besides 'Candy Crush'. So this was a bit of a shocker.So, I started to wonder why this app had just appeared on my phone. And then I realized, maybe it didn't just appear- maybe it had been there the whole time and I just never saw it. Because, you know how some phones come with apps already...

"Are you kidding me?!"Cara, Katie, and Angelica were bumping along a pebble road in a green rental car, wobbling through a flourishing forest. Angelica was at the wheel, with Cara in the passengers seat."When you said we were going on vacation, I thought of the Bahamas!" Cara protested."Look," Angelica started, not taking her eyes off the uneven road. "I figured that you realized we weren't going to the Bahamas when we landed in Norway.""Agreed," Katie said, climbing over the backseat to join her companions ove...

“The Hallowed Walls of a House of the Past” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #51

The car rolls down the rocky road, bumping up and down with each rock hit. The road is made of pebbles and loose rock- someone could easily get into an accident if they weren't careful. I look out the car window and watch the trees wiz by me. They're dead as door nails.I turn my attention back into the inside of the car. I feel dead inside. Just like the trees. I don't know why I agreed to this. It sounded so- so...I don't know what it sounded like. I guess I just thought that it would be amusing. Visiting the place where I was bor...

“Origin of Invisible Woman and Human Torch” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #48

Frost Green was a normal middle-school student. She was the average height, had blue eyes, freckles, and brown hair. She had friends (but not a lot) and enemies. She was normal. That is, until a year ago. Frost was suntanning out on her driveway, with sunglasses on and a hot, blue-fringe bikini. She was laying on her towel and winking at the cute boys that passed by, when she saw someone walking across the street-...
