The woods

Stephanie Njoku

The day before the first task is set to begin is spent by everyone else training. It doesn't take long for Yuki, who's been spending time with Sora and Riku on the way, to catch up to the rest of the group. She joins them in their daily routine. “Are we doing that one thing? "yes". we are. replied sora. " This is boring, let's do something different today," said Yiku with a grin as he grabbed his brother's hand and dragged him along. Sora couldn't help but laugh at his little brother's childish behavior and started walkin...

Aaron screamed.He closed his eyes tightly, clenching his hands. He was terrified and nervous as to why Mike intentionally forced him to recall his past.He sighed deeply."it won't change anything." He said"you don't know that." "Besides, maybe if you remember a little bit of what conspired that night. Then you'll come to know why you feel hunted. " Mike insisted.He looked a...

Submitted to Contest #74

Today makes it seven months in loneliness and death. Lost in the shadows of the night. I find myself living like a caveman. I can't exactly remember how I got here, but I have a memory that never left. I was taking a nap in the early evening of April 10th 2022, when I heard voices distinctly. Then the chattering became louder. As if to wake me from my slumber.Being young and naive. I sluggishly got up from the couch, without hesitating or even enquiring who was at the door. I swung the door wide open and found two men dressed in black attire...

The Ha'ari.

My name is niza. I am eighteen years old. I come from a small African tribe known as the khazuma people. I have often thought that with any luck at all I could have been born an elf, because my ears stretched out like one, but I had to be content with what I had. I have no family because they are all dead. But enough of the hullabaloo story. Let's fast forward to the year 1938 were i had to work as a servant not a chauffeur. I sat down at the back of the bakery when someone threw a rock at me. I was knocked out of my fantasy."Hey boy"I ...

That evening, we drove out of bloomville and went further into town. ...

The rain had stopped before 2:30pm. But the moisture from the rain hung in the air making the environment pale. I sat on the couch waiting for Nellie's call that I didn't know when I fell asleep. I woke up 30 minutes later to a knock on the door. I sluggishly dragged myself to the door but when I opened it, I couldn't find anyone. I paused for a while. I was a bit confused so i just went back in.Nellie hadn't called. We had an appointment with a client who wanted to buy a house uptown and it was getting late. So I picked up my phon...

Grimville

Submitted to Contest #12

In a small myopic town of Grimville, the road looked empty with dried up trees and leaves swirling away by the forceful wind; neighbors were indoors with locked houses; as if to mind their business; but not Me, I was outside at 8:45 am mowing my lawn.‘'good morning jay'' said my next-door neighbor who had a very pretentious attitude.‘'morning Nellie taking out your trash?'' I asked.‘'um, good to see you'' she replied as she relocated back in.I knew she wasn't taking out her trash, I was trying to be funny or maybe stupid; I always didn't kno...
