Twenty Thousand Leagues In The Dark

Submitted to Contest #58

[Title is inspired by the title of Jules Verne's, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.

Captain Lora, the captain of the submarine dubbed the name Beluga, due to its whale-like resemblance, nodded. “Very good. Let me just get us settled and then we can begin making records.” &...

Pie Face

Submitted to Contest #57

What is one meant to expect when they arrive at the town of their late grandparents? Wary looks and apprehension? Fond looks and embraces? Stories of your grandparents and condolences? Or perhaps, a mix of them all. What one would definitely not expect is to hear a veritable stranger call, “You look like pie face.” You turn around to look at the person and wonder if they are speaking to you. But why would they say ‘you look like ...

The Ill Will

Submitted to Contest #57

Lynwood allowed his lawyer entry into his study. “Lock the door behind you. I wouldn’t want the vultures to swoop down on us.” Vultures was the term he used to describe his family. It was not the most endearing title for one’s relatives, but neither would any of his family members, besides his dear daughter, could be called endearing. In fact, his ‘family’ was a bunch of distant relatives, all coming out of their hidey-holes when they heard tell that he was dying. &n...

The Fame I Didn't Even Want

Submitted to Contest #57

Most people wanted to be famous for their life-changing invention, or beautiful singing abilities. Or even for their popular book series. But I happened to be famous for none of these things. No, the kind of fame I had was one that made people crossed the street to avoid me or hold their children closer when I walked past. You may be wondering, why is that? What could you do to make people uncomfortable or even afraid of you? Well, to answer the question, I did absolutely nothing to deser...

Oops, Wrong Person

Submitted to Contest #56

Cassidy: Thank you for the bread recipe you sent me. I will definitely try it. Jacob glanced at his phone and squinted at the text. Bread recipe? He was certain that he did not recognize the number, and even more certain that he had never sent a bread recipe to anyone. He couldn’t cook worth a lick. He was one of those people who could be said to burn water, so he definitely was not making any bread. Still, he wanted to see where this conversation would go. Jacob: For sure. Bread is my specialty. He snorted at his own words. Specialty indeed...

The Day In My Life Vlog

Submitted to Contest #56

Leola awoke from her sleep after only managing a few hours. In another half hour, her newborn son would need to be feed. But first, she slipped out of bed and grabbed her vlog camera. Making sure not to wake her husband or her baby, she tiptoed out of the room and walked into her living room. She set up the camera on her tripod and set it to recording. She smiled. “Hey guys, It’s Sierra. It’s currently,” she checked the time on her watch...

If I Never See You Again, It Will Be Too Soon

Submitted to Contest #56

Alexis woke up for the day optimistic. She showered, brushed her teeth, made a coffee, and got dressed all while singing a made-up song about happiness. She always got excited on the first day of a new job. She did not know what it was, but something about going to a new place and meeting new people, and new tasks, excited her. She checked her reflection in the bathroom mirror at her apartment and smiled. Perfect. She looked professional, but still cheerful. She wore a simple white blouse...

Reality Is Not Always What We Expect it To Be

Submitted to Contest #56

Arielle watched her mother pull away from the building where she would take her writing classes and waved. Turning towards the building, she took a deep breath to prepare herself. She knew what would happen next. It was what happened in movies, books, tv shows, and real life. First, she would walk in and she would probably be greeted by the front desk person. They would say something like, “We are so happy...

Two Sides To Every Story

Submitted to Contest #56

Derek approached the quaint café where he was set to meet his blind date. He felt nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous for the awkward interaction that would surely come about, but excited for the chance to meet someone new. He knew so few people and was very far from having a girlfriend, due both to his shyer nature and bookishness, but also because no one really enjoyed his company. Which made him wonder why he was now going on a blind date. His friend Edmund, a man quite Derek’s opposite, had arranged the date and had assured him...

Blurry Vision

Submitted to Contest #55

The sitting room was very well furnished. From the perfectly placed baby blue wallpaper, to the lacy dolly on the dark oak center table. There was not a spec of dust in the room, the maids had been sure to make it that way. A beautiful artwork of some kind graced the papered wall. On the far side of the room was a chest game, started but never finished and the opposite side of the room held a small shelf. The windows were long and opened to reveal the sun’s golden rays. This was what anyone would have seen walking into this room, but it was ...
