“Our Town” by S U

Submitted to Contest #96

The day she arrived the town had an unusual gloom ligenring within it’s horizon. The town was veiled with dark clouds; as if the weather was reflecting people’s emotions itself. We had not been able to grow much crops. The misfits huddled together along the small roads, the misfits moving ever so slowly along the roads as equally gloomy vendors sold goods. She wore a rather extravagant cavalier hat with black eagle feather sticking out, way too blinding of an attire for the townspeople. Eyes started to leave their places to fixate at the str...

“Tuxiang Market” by S U

Submitted to Contest #67

The moment my nose got the whiff of the Tuxiang Market, it couldn’t decide what it smelled like. It was a blend of sweet, sour and pungent. I could smell the sea, ones back on earth, the fresh saltiness but I could also smell something I couldn’t put my finger on.

He, too, had taken off his space helmet. Luckily the whole market was indoors and supplied its own blend of oxygen rich...

“So, what are you here for?”The lady looks up from her magazine towards the source of the voice. “Oh, me? I am just here with my Aunt.” She smiles at the man, closing her magazine; sensing a conversation.“For which doctor?” The man closes his own reading prop, the daily newspaper.“Dr Rita, I have heard how accomplished she is in her career and how good she is with her patients. She, if I heard correctly, has won many awards in psychiatry.”“Waiting for your turn is so bloody annoying, isn’t it?” the man says as his eyes glances at the closed ...

“Unlearning and Learning ” by S U

Submitted to Contest #48

There was once a boy whose eyes glittered when they scanned past hundreds and hundreds of glazed pages filled with his favorite heroes. His eyes glossed with boredom and dislike when he looked at his fellow humans. He was cynical would be a dire understatement; to be put exact, he didn’t just distrust them, he believed trusting them was a fool’s errand. Jacob would pass his idle time rearranging his comics or flipping through them. He stopped hanging out with his only friends when his closest friend cheated off him on a test. Even though it ...
