“Odesa's Demise” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #62

Sometimes when you’ve sat still, steeped in moment after moment of ringing silence, you can hear the broken screaming of fragments of themselves people have left behind. It’s quite unexpected and they never seem to look how you would imagine, considering whom they’ve fallen from. Fragments don’t always match their homes. I’ve learned that from a young and fragile age, the first and last time I spoke to one by mistake. I learned even better, that it was best to pretend they didn’t exist at all if it could be helped, since their sorrow easily ...

“A Masquerade” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #61

“Don’t run from me, Mura,” he frowned at her from across the lounge. Anger flashed in her eyes as he slowly approached her, coming to a stop a few feet away. His hands were raised in front of him, pleading silently to let him explain. He flinched at the burst of accusation that flitted across her face. She was always good at hiding her more explosive emotions, but never from him. Shaun knew her too well, and too long for her to really hide from him.She stood poised on the other side of the velvet couch, clutching a cushion in her fist, silen...

“Hope's Halo” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #60

This world had always been a prison of solitude splattered with blues, purples, reds and grays. Bruises and pain. You were the last brilliant streak of gold. So warm. Like how I imagined the sun would have felt like once upon a time as my brothers have told me. I reached towards the reflection sitting atop the Silver River. The poison tapped water rippled out of a point at my chest where my heart would be if I had one. Well, I didn’t know that mine was absent…but there had also never been anyone to tell me that it was not. “Tell me Ayla,” I ...

“Crescent Twins” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #59

Haaaaa… A clouded mist curled out of my breath and stood afloat just a disconcerting moment. It swirled and caved on itself again and again, falling and rising as though possessed by the fragment of an ancient restless dragon’s desire to protect its trove. It spiraled upwards and upwards slowly dissipating one gasp at a time.My core spazzed and buckled, forcing itself to stop trembling, commanding my body to hold itself still. Why would anyone come to a place like this, in a t-shirt and paint-tattered sweat pants with a growing hole in the l...

“A Blank Canvas” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #58

Click. Next slide. Click. Instagram. Click. Damage control. I glanced at the teenager slouching at the edge of the room, wielding a presence that says “look at me.” He demands to be noticed, but acts like he can’t be seen. The very epitome of spoiled but bored. He managed to slander yet another highly regarded social media influencer. Well, as highly as a teenager can regard with that all too familiar absent look glazing over his eyes. This wasn’t the client I anticipated when my boss called me in to take on younger talent. Agent or not, you...

“The Green Door” by Suhi Rohin

Submitted to Contest #30

“Val…Hey, Val,” “What, Ro” I glared blearily at my younger brother, who interrupted my nap. “We’re here!” he grins at me, fully aware of how much I despised feigned excitement. I scowled at him, then at the direction of the house looming over the family sedan. It seemed to be just large enough, and just square enough, to be perfectly pretentious. Pretentious is a good word for this event tonight. Dad’s new boss invited the whole family over for dinner, just weeks after joining the company. As I trudged behind Dad and Ro to the front door,...

Author bio

Have you seen the moon tonight? It looks like a faraway dream Conjured by a wistful romantic Like a whisper of hope Beyond the reflection of reality. The haze in between the clouds Embrace the light with a Silver Silence. Hopeless romantic. Caffeine fiend. Pretty sure the laugh-crying cat emoji is my spirit animal. Recent "grown up" trying to find my author's voice one sentence, one chapter, one story at a time. P.S. If you've read something I've written, I'd love to hear what you thought about it. Likes, dislikes, vague memories, feelings it might have invoked. Stories tend to call for more stories, I've learned. That's part of why we love to read so much isn't it? Anyways, It would help me understand the strengths and weaknesses of a story to consider for the next one. And I would be happy to help do the same!
