“All the Time in the World” by Noir P.

Submitted to Contest #243

Letting the fresh air fill her lungs and cleanse her nerves, Lydia exited the train with a spring in her step. She felt invigorated, like every second of her life had led up to this point. The swarms of people crowding around her couldn’t do a thing to make her good mood plummet. Everything was so much better than she’d hoped; the sky was a gorgeous baby blue, and the rustle of soft leaves soothed her tired mind. Lydia wasn’t used to such warm weather, but she chose to ignore her discomfort. The cold was behind her now; this was her home. Se...

“The library” by Noir P.

Submitted to Contest #91

The library was a wonderful place. In fact, this certain library was quite exceptional. It was the type of library that could quiet even the loudest trouble makers. An unsaid hush fell in the air like a weightless blanket and dust hung in the light seemingly unmoving. It was as if you could frame this library in a photo frame and no one would notice any movement. Not only that, but the windows that stretc...

“The Hero” by Noir P.

Placed somewhere far away from all other ci...

“Freedom” by Noir P.

How long had it been? She could not tell. She itched at the numbers tattooed on her neck, matted hair tangling in front of her face as the realization hit her. Yes, it was time to leave. As she brushed her fingers over her face, spitting blood to the side. She was covered in the crimson substance, her white gown splotted disgustingly with guts and fluid, but she didn't mind. Foolish for them to think th...

“A normal day on the job with Mrs. Anderson” by Noir P.

Submitted to Contest #75

"Alright, Miss Anna was it? How can I help you today?" A woman sat with her legs crossed, her blouse barely fitting over her bosom, tight slacks hanging just above her ankles. Her crocodile print sandals were ugly enough to gag at, but her client paid no mind. This time things would be different. This time she would turn her life around. Mrs. Anderson adjusted her cross shoulder bag, pulling out a lip g...

“Please come back to me.” by Noir P.

Today was like no other. Christmas Eve! She could feel a tingling in her fingertips, giving her a chill as her smile grew wider. She gave no thought to the quiet snowfall dappling her clothing as the lights around the city sparkled and glowed, casting reds and blues and white all over the snow covered cobblestone, the evergreens seeming to dance and sway in the silent breeze. The sight was truly magical, but it was miss...
