Family (Part 4 of 4)

(This is part 4 of a story written under a different category) Kingston and I were watching a weird cartoon from the 80s. It was my mom’s idea for us to spend a little more time together and apparently I’d had no time to spend with Kingston because I’d been hanging out with Isabella every day. Someone rang the doorbell.  “Who could be here this late?” I wondered aloud, “It’s almost eleven.” “I’ll get it,” Kingston said quickly and jumped up from his chair to answer the front door. “Kathleen, it’s your friend.” I went to join Kingston at...

Family (Part 3 of 4)

(This is part 3 of a story written under a different category)When I was young I realized how cruel the world could be. My father didn’t love my mother and that led to all kinds of problems. Worse yet, they didn’t love me or my sister, Amelia. One day, when I was six, my mother pushed my father in the way of a speeding train. She got thrown in jail, he got buried in the ground. Amelia and I were put into foster care. The first lady who housed us didn’t feed us every day, and she certainly didn’t care where we were, as long as it wasn’t ...

More than Jimonrat I hate Eric, and I hate having to pretend I like him and this town. Yesterday I was talking to the new dog, Lucas, about everything I hate when I was rudely interrupted.“We’re going to the store,” Eric declared.“I don’t like the store, I don’t want to go.”“Fine, give me attitude, but you will listen,” he said.“You don’t sound like a boy who loves his sister and wants th...

Family (Part 1 of 4)

Nobody moves to Jimonrat, it’s unheard of. So is Jimonrat, nobody’s heard of it. To visit this wreck you have to have an important reason, even the importance of seeing family isn’t as strong as the hatred of stepping foot in this place. First of all, there are no flights here, you have to travel by boat. It’s a long, humid boat trip from Rhode Island in a tiny, old, and stuffy sailboat that feels like it’s going to break any minute. But that’s all we’ve got because you have to be court-approved before you can operate a sailing institute her...

Simulated Sympathy

Submitted to Contest #95

My head is aching as the blazing sun beats heavily on me. I’m sweating buckets and my legs are strained. Standing out here in the sun is one of the many sacrifices my brother and I must overcome in order to fulfil our duty. But, what is our duty exactly? No one told us before we left, so maybe I should think about what would make Master happy. Either that or we wait for him, I don't really know. I glance over at Michael and he’s seated on the pavement, I wonder what made him do that. I’ll just wait for Master, because I can't possibly think ...
