“In Death” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #52

I closed my shop and clutched my bag tightly. It was raining cats and dogs and I'd forgotten to bring an umbrella, though I didn't mind. It was late and a few drops of water couldn't hurt. I took the usual short-cut through the alley to get to my house and saw someone leaning against a wall, head down.  I walked faster, I knew all about the kind that hung in alleys at night, looking for innocent women to prey on. ...

“worth the wait” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #49

I stared at my watch. She was already an hour late and I was sitting in a fancy restaurant like an idiot who'd been ditched by his date. I hadnt even orderd in the hopes that she would come eventually. She was always running late, because she ran a big-ass billionaire company.  As the time passed by, I got madder and madder. After the waiter asked me the third time if I was expecting somebody, I snapped and...

“"Goodbye to the dead"” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #44

I sat on the beach as the waves lapped at my feet, it felt good. This was so good, I almost didn’t want to leave it, but I had to. I couldn’t live in this place, not just because of college, but her memory would probably haunt me for life. And I couldn’t stay in the same place that I’d met her, where I’d spent those moments that I had so enjoyed.I looked down. Someone clapped me on the shoulder, I didn’t need to look up to tell who it was. I had arranged the meeting after all. James plopped down beside me.

“What did I do?” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #42

It was that night of the school year that I had asked myself that for the first time. Kayden and I were best friends. Every freaking body knew that. We were always together, in school, in lunch, heck we even had dinner in each other’s houses.Some people in the school thought that it was weird that a guy and a girl who weren’t dating hung out with each other so much. Kayden was kind of popular and I was kind of not. But I wasn’t one of those people who liked to keep to themselves. I did weird stuff and I went to parties,...

“" For The First Time" - Navya Jain ” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #41

I locked my apartment and headed out, my guitar slung over my shoulder. As usual, I looked awful, there were bags under my eyes and I slumped as I walked.I was in some serious shit, you could say. I was a struggling actor whose last gig was like two years ago, and the only source of income that I had was coming from the singing I did at the night clubs and some small roles that I did in movies, like a stunt double or something like that. I was in serious depression, my mother had just passed away like a year ago but I still missed ...

“Til death does us part - Navya jain ” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #40

I still remember that day when Addison and I made that stupid oath. Or I may have forgotten it if I hadn’t run into her at that wedding.“ Laura Black!”I turned as soon as I heard my name. It’s a natural instinct, someone says your name you immediately turn to see who it is. And then I saw her. Her bright red hair was impossible to miss, and so was her cheery disposition. If you saw her you were most likely to smile yourself.“ Addison Smith! It’s been so long.” I smiled at her not knowing what to say.

“The Survivors - Navya Jain ” by Navya Jain

Submitted to Contest #39

Marie didn’t know how long she had been trapped. She’d been screaming for hours but her cries of help were drowned in the noise of all the others.It had all started on a beautiful day, the sun shining brightly, birds in the forest. She had been heading to school and then they came. They were not aliens, she knew that. They were humans gone rogue. Within minutes the world disrupted into chaos. In the second period, she and her classmates were ushered out of the schools and into their houses. but Marie had been left behin...
