The Oracle & The Knight

Rachel Zabrina Zammit

Submitted to Contest #303

Seeing the future was not the gift that people thought it was. In fact, oftentimes, people would straight up reject the fortunes that they were told - even when that was forced. My name is Cassandra, and I am an initiate at the Delphi Temple. I am considered “touched by the sun god Apollo” and potentially sacred. Potentially being the key word.Cassandra looked back at what she wrote in the intricate leather journal that she was meant to write her everyday musing within.

The Hometown Reconnection Flight

Rachel Zabrina Zammit

Submitted to Contest #229

Angela gazed out of the window in the plane, looking through the misty clouds at the city lights that were starting to appear. Removing the neck pillow from behind her, she wryfully noted that she barely slept at all on the flight even though she was running on zero hours of sleep from the night before worrying about this very flight. It wasn’t really the flight that was causing her stomach to twist, no - it was her return to the hometown that she fled over a decade ago. Every year, when December first would come around, her father w...
