“Accidentally On Purpose ” by Sevan Meguerditchian

The glittering of the shimmery chandelier on the champagne glasses in everyone's hand, the beautiful backless dresses, the flawless makeup, the perfectly pressed three-piece suits, they all add to the glitz and glamour of the prestigious evening. Too bad it's all going down the drain. The human mind is a curious one and one tiny snippet of an even remotely interesting fact is enough to get a person to forget about privacy altogether – and human decency might I add – just to satisfy the hunger of their curiosity. Thus explains tonight's quand...

“We Don't Know” by Sevan Meguerditchian

Submitted to Contest #93

TW: murder, gore The world comes to a stop.   One. Two. Three.   I count as everything moves in slow motion around me.   Four. Five. Six.   I can hear my heart beating in my chest at an unusual speed.   Seven. Eight. Nine.   What have I done?   I can hear my name being called, but it seems to be coming from so far away, like I'm underwater.   "Gabby."   Am I drowning?   "Gabby!"   Ten.   "Come with us right now!"   I don't have time to nod, or agree, or do anything before I'm b...

You would think during the holidays, when crime is usually thriving, he would get a more interesting one but alas he was tasked with solving this one in the near future.

“Ashes To Dust” by Sevan Meguerditchian

Submitted to Contest #68

It had been twenty-four years since she'd last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same. The same dingy walls and sticky floor, except now it was empty. Abandoned. She looked to her left, the supposed dining room area was still covered with the same wallpaper, unfinished, just as she remembered. Of course the ince pretty rose petal design was buried under a thick layer of dust and dirt.
