“Wandering Mind” by Nati Yohannes

Submitted to Contest #108

Had it been a day? A week? A month? It was impossible to keep track of time. Nothing functions correctly anymore. It was like someone had just taken a neuron out of her brain. A gear out of her system. A piece out of her life. A limb off of her body. Life would never be the same without Laura. It wasn't fair. She was so young. Could she have not been able to stay for just a little bit longer? 7 weeks. That's how long Hanna had gotten with her own child. Why was it so harmful? It was just the flu - why did it have to take poor Laura's l...

“John Frost - Part 1” by Nati Yohannes

Part One   It wasn't the first time this week that John was outside shoveling snow.

I made hot chocolate," called his wife Nicole, almost startling him. "It's 7 am. What are you doing up?" he asked. "I said I made hot chocolate.

“The Dove” by Nati Yohannes

Submitted to Contest #73

The Dove was so beautiful - One of the prettiest things Karen had ever seen. Gracefully flying through the prairie - She needed to catch that bird for her daughter, Eve. Eve was only 4, but she loved birds. This would make the perfect Christmas present. “Just a little closer,” said Karen, as she held the box just a foot away from the dove. “Got you!” she said. She had finally got the dove in the box. Trying for so long, she had almost given up. She laughed as she walked out of the field and to her car. She started driving to the pet store to...

Prolog: 4: 22 PM, Saturday, Oak wood middle school exit “Lets go to John’s house.

Alexi hesitated, “1801 what now?” Aaron had just realized how creepy the w...

Usa, 2024 Chapter 1: Surprise does not exist Hi. My name is Tim. Tim E Traveler. Say it fast, and you get time traveler. I’m called time traveler because to me, surprise does not exist.

Know everything. Foresee everything. We know all. For example, I’m going to take a step to the left because someone has a gun locked on me. But he only has one bul...
