Wandering Mind

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...

Fly to the Underworld

Submitted to Contest #94

Trigger warning: Death Nick was very Immature. He was in high school but still did childish things like trying to learn how to fly or watching nursery rhymes. His mom had mentioned something… Otislem? Autism? Nick didn't remember, but he didn't care either. At school people always teasing him saying things such as “You can't fly!” and “Go to a mental institution!”Today he was happy, though. It was the last day of school until spring break! He was outside of the school getting ready to walk home when two bullies walked up to him - David and J...

John Frost - Part 1

Part One It wasn't the first time this week that John was outside shoveling snow. There was a blizzard and now he had to spend the first hour of every day making it so that his family could get out of the house. "Take a break. 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. I'll tell Ava she can have it if you don't want it, so do you want it or should I let our 8-year-old daughter have it?" John hesitated. On one hand, he needed to c...

The Dove

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...

There's Murderer in the House

Prolog: 4: 22 PM, Saturday, Oak wood middle school exit “Lets go to John’s house. Trenton said that he’s having pizza.” Aaron said hastily. “I was going to get ice cream…” Alexi replied, “London Stella and I were going to meet at Cone Palace.” “John has ice cream.” Aaron said convincingly, “You should come with us. I’ll tell Stella and London to come there instead.” “I guess I could come. What's the address?” said Alexi. “1801 murder street.” Said Aaron. Alexi hesitated, “1801 what now?” Aaron had just realized how creepy the w...

Out of time

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. I can predict everything that will happen. There are only four others like me. Moor O seer, Min D Reader, Fortun E Teller, and Actio N Prophet. As our full names state, we predict everything. 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...
