“Screen Out of Time” by Tee Farewell

Submitted to Contest #243

As it descended through the swirling vortex of time, the time machine trembled and groaned, its steel frame ripping apart one screw at a time. Inside the cramped cockpit, Benjamin and Nora held onto each other. "We're almost there," Benjamin said over the cacophony of sound. Nora nodded, her knuckles white as she gripped the edges of her seat. The maelstrom outside the window seemed to stretch on for eternity, a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes that danced and twisted with dizzying speed. And then, with a sudden lurch, the chaos ceased, rep...

His words slither from his lips like venomous serpents, their hiss carrying an underlying threat coiling around my ...

With its views of a serene lake beneath the setting sun, the park carried a narrative of a father and daughter's story, filled with laughter, joyous picnics, and lively banter. The grooves in the wood told tales of their bond. With the crisp autumn breeze came the fragrance of fallen leaves as it brushed against his skin. The breeze reminded him of the changing seasons and the passage of time since the unimaginable loss. Th...

“This Old Attic” by Tee Farewell

Submitted to Contest #236

As I tackled the never-ending chore of cleaning our home, my gaze wandered towards the door on the ceiling. It leads to the attic. The sight of it caused me to shiver, stirring up memories long buried beneath the weight of time. A single rope dangled off of a lever. It swayed as if trying to call me to it. Pulling the rope would release the stairs, granting access to a space I hoped never to visit. I hesitated, though I ...

Author bio

I’m a simple man Who has a complicated brain I like different things As long as they stay the same I lead a horse to water and I made it drink I gave it everything and the kitchen sink I had a piece of cake. and I ate it too I can do anything Twice in a blue moon I’m a square peg that fits in a round hole I act without all my ducks in a row I make mole hills out of mountains I toss pennies out of fountains A penny for your thoughts But mine are worth a dime If I fall from grace I’ll Land on cloud nine I will Save face And beat Father Time I got it right after I made two wrongs Not the same old dance and song Not changing my tune Even if I can't sing I ate at noon and it didn't cost a thing Its an eye for an eye as long as both eyes are yours I’ll kick it down to get my foot out the door If it’s not broke I still fix it If there’s no reward I’ll still risk it A little bit about me you’ll learn in the long run At the end of the day Once and for all When push comes to shove I’ll answer the call I play the short game But I’m in for the long hall Like shooting fish in a barrel But with a hook line and sinker And I don't use A.I. I’m an independent thinker
