“Sad (or something like that)” by Sophie Liu

Submitted to Contest #38

The first time he found it, he was three and Mommy was trying to teach him words. He hid in Daddy’s closet because then he wouldn’t be able to see Mommy, which meant that she couldn’t see him, either. He wanted to cry a bit because his stomach was growling and he didn’t know why, but because he knew that if he cried Mommy would find him, he decided against it in the end (though not in so many words.

“Countdown” by Sophie Liu

Submitted to Contest #22

… 60! Time is honestly such a superficial concept. They’re outside counting down to midnight, only a minute away—but what is midnight? Twelve PM, which in itself is utterly abstract. So some call it the “darkest hour,” or say that midnight is the moment halfway between two consecutive moments when the sun is at its highest—which is an utter mouthful, anyway. But then the question is, what is a minute? What is a second? A minute is 1/1440th of the time between one midnight and the next, and a second is 1/60th of that. What sort of numbers are...
