“My Roomate from Space” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #41

I remember it was a Tuesday morning. I was getting ready for school, my window open to let the breeze cool my apartment down from the humidity. I heard a couple clanking and from the kitchen, but assumed it was my cat, Star.Even though it was summer I felt cold air on my back. I shivered. Was there a breeze? I looked at the trees. They were still. I looked behind me and froze. Figuratively.A girl was sitting on my table. But she looked so weird and almost...angelic. Her hair was blue. Like an icy bright blue. Her eyes were a fleshy pink, the...

“Pho's Scythe” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #40

Pho's eyes glistened with tears, her irises like frozen wheat pressed by glass."Mother, please!" she begged, her chiton swishing around her knees, the blush color the perfect match to her cheeks and the blossoms messily placed in her hair. " I wish to go have a walk in the flower fields, wouldn't that be nice?"Her mother gave her a cold stare in return, her basket overflowing with freshly harvested wheat." No, Pho. I don't want you going who knows where walking into danger!" she said shortly, placing her basket down, her scythe ready to chop...

“evermore” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #40

My name is Evernora, and I am a witch. It doesn't sound important right now, but it will. Right now, I'm sitting on the road, cradling my sister, who can't seem to sleep. The stars are like bright grains of salt spewed over coals, yet tonight they provide no comfort. Adair whines again, and I am helpless, I have no food to feed her, let alone myself. My home is gone.And my friend, who I have not seen many moons. My long fingers tuck the cloth under her chin, the tears falling down my face tracing the grime on my face. I place her in the bas...

“elle's orange bandana” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #40

I couldn't understand where it went wrong.My whole life just collapsed with one sentence no one should ever have to hear.Noelle" My hair is impossible!" I whined, the brunette head of hair I owned becoming a rat's nest. Maddy laughed, grabbing a brush." Girl, do you even brush your hair?" she teased her own glossy curtain of hair.My name is Noelle, but I go by Elle. My best friend is Maddison, but she goes by Maddy. We have been best friends since the third grade, but we are almost polar opposites.Her hair is a blonde, when mine, as you know...

“my angel wears kneesocks” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #40

When people tell the story of meeting their best friend, I find it erratically amusing that their stories are, telling of how they met in the most ridiculous of situations. Though I just might be biased by my own story.When I first met Holly, I was sitting in my usual spot in the coffee shop down the street, my nose in my computer, going over cases. I was a police officer and a detective-in-training. I was around seventeen at the time, and my job was to read over cases the chief gave to me. By then I was the youngest person ever to work in t...

“Goldfinch Calling” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #39

I float, my oxygen running out, but my breath fogs against my helmet. The ship is hiding the view of whatever's on the other side, but I'm too weak to move. I could just end it, take off my helmet. One swift move and I'd crumble like a long dried-out petal, though I'm already as brittle, aren't I?Ten years.How many years I spent studying while cradling my newborn child, having to juggle being an only father, and getting my qualifications to work for NASA. I stayed as strong as I could, never letting her see me cry when I had to ask my parent...

“flower crowns ” by Raven B. Evolet

Submitted to Contest #39

daisiesI clenched the box, the flowers’ leaves sticking out and overflowing with the immature buds. My seatbelt dug into my neck, leaving a pink line. The warm air humid this morning. Sean drove, his eyes darting from my face to the road, and back again. The stars were out. We had woken up earlier than the sun." How are you feeling?” He asked, a worrisome glint in his eyes. I sighed, beads of sweat trailing off my forehead, from the heat or my fear, I wasn’t certain." Ready as I’ll ever be. " I tried reassuring him with a smile, but it came ...
