“Pigeons make great Wingmen” by Spruce Popsicle

Sometimes, bad days can turn out to be the starts of amazing weeks. Riley learned this the hard way. Her day started off with the worst tragedy of all: sleeping through her alarm. Although she worked from home, she still had meetings to attend. So there she was. With bed-head, un-showered, coffeless, and making very important business decisions. As one can imagine, there was no way she had her video on during t...

“A journey to Satisfaction” by Spruce Popsicle

Alex’s grandmother was an interesting character to say the least. Her house was furnished with strangely patterned furniture. She would always wear gigantic jewelry: large hoop earrings, chunky rings, low hanging necklaces, and wide bracelets. It wasn’t a surprise, then, when she found a bracelet with strange writings on it. Alex, over the years, had gained a respect and love for her grandma, and as such began to like h...

“Projects within Projects” by Spruce Popsicle

When a teacher tells me that we’re doing a group project, I don’t immediately groan in disgust. However, when Mr. Howard told the science class the groups, I wanted to transfer Mrs. Else’s class, which is infamous for being very boring. Mr. Howard, that sick, sick man made me in a group with Jamie Lovegreen, Alivia Mirror, and Jacob Taylor. That was the worst news I’d heard since Grant Imahara died. Like any good 2010’s movie, there were the stereotypes of the jock, the nerd, the popular one, and the shy one. Mr. Ho...

“Creatures and Kidnappings” by Spruce Popsicle

“Come on, Elli! We need to go check the fairy village! We need to go!” Darlina tugged on my arm, pulling me towards the back door and out into our backyard. Even though I didn’t want to go outside- there was a storm on the horizon- I was no match for her puppy eyes.“Okay, okay. Let me go. I’m coming.” I pulled on my shoes and followed my little sister outside, calling to my parents: “Mom! Darli and I are going outside for the Fairy garden.”I heard a muffled agreement and stood in the cold fall air. On our small wo...

But when Alex was selected to be the Sower, he didn’t know what to think. He has never heard of such a thing.On the day of the ceremony, he was expecting to be assigned something like chef, or perhaps a teacher. But no, when he w...

“Light Chasing” by Spruce Popsicle

Submitted to Contest #138

“Write about light returning to a place that has been deprived of it for a long time” Light Chasing I can still remember the day the light left. I was four years old. I was in the small oak tree in my back yard, holding onto my children’s book, flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures. I was too young to read yet, but I remember loving the pictures a...
