“I Should've Known Better!” by Sarah Adewolu

Submitted to Contest #284

Well, I really messed up this time. Dominic found out the truth, and he was angry to the point of kicking me out, which I totally deserved. All my worst nightmares had finally come true. I should have known better, realizing this was all going to end in disaster. I’d been such an idiot from the beginning… Giving him a fake name, “Kara Muller”, and leading him on in this never-ending game of lies. This was exactly what Melinda had warned me about all along. I hated to think that she was right and she’d rub it in my face in an “I-told-you-so” ...

“A Day to Remember” by Sarah Adewolu

Submitted to Contest #283

Francina Tuttiliogi sat up in bed, holding onto dear life the photo of the man who melted her heart: Troy Edwards. It was the night before the big day, the biggest day in her life, where she was going to walk down that aisle and say, “I do”, officially becoming Mrs. Troy Edwards. It was the moment her family had been awaiting, including all her cousins–distant and close–from all over the town. As she glanced at the photo of the striking young man–his golden hair that was slicked back, and ocean blue eyes that possessed serenity in them–with...

“Be Careful What You Wish For” by Sarah Adewolu

Submitted to Contest #281

The next day was a clear, blue Wednesday morning, and when I woke up, I still felt the same as I did yesterday morning… Only this time, I realized I had magical superpowers; yesterday, I had no idea. Assuming that my powers were gone after I flushed that piece of paper down the toilet, my life was going to return to normal after all this. This was just a temporary thing, even if I’d already written in the diary with a pen. No more wishes for the time being. For now, whatever I wished for, I’d type it onto my Google Docs. So far, nothing unu...

“One Crazy, Wicked, Violent Night” by Sarah Adewolu

Submitted to Contest #277

Maegann wanted nothing more than to curl up on the couch, watch some Netflix while snacking on popcorn, and let loose for the evening after a long day. She was a paralegal, but sometimes law work could be a little exhausting, studying one case after another. But for her, it was worth it; she had a lifelong passion for law and order. Law and Order… That sounded like a good show to watch. Except Netflix didn’t have it available, though it had similar shows, such as Suits for one. Why not? Nothing could beat Suits after all. She was practicall...

“Dark Impulses” by Sarah Adewolu

He was a modern-day Ted Bundy, but he couldn’t help it. It’s just who he was. He was obsessed with sex, and there’s nothing more that he liked than objectifying every single woman or young girl he saw. A young girl could innocently walk past him on the street, and in an instant, he’d visualize himself in an erotic position with her, hoping she didn’t resist him. And once that was done… He’d kill her. Because that’s just who he was. He was waiting outside in a room to be called for an interview at the office. The office had an opening for the...
