“Rob the Stage” by Tyler H

Rob the Stage The crowd was in an uproar, standing high, clapping so hard their hands could get stuck together. The Lights turned off, and the curtains closed. For a few minutes, the actors got to dissolve in the sounds of the crowd.  “I can’t believe they’re still clapping,” a sweet voice said.  “We outdid ourselves this time, my love,” another voice said, less sweet, but it complimented the softer voice with such prowess. These voices came from the top deck where the light technicians work their magic, and the crowd can’t see. Af...

“Corrupt Sun” by Tyler H

Submitted to Contest #90

Temperatures were rising, Arizona weather was normal in every state around this time. Sweat would drip down foreheads just for going outside. Winter and snow were becoming a myth for adolescents. Heat waves were a common occurrence, if snow came it would melt before touching the ground.  Religions started popping up around the world, worshiping the sun. They prayed the sun would stop its rising heat, every day they stared blankly at the sun. You’d think humans would go blind, but with a purpose beyond their eyes, they could stare for ...

“Soul Flower II” by Tyler H

Submitted to Contest #89

The wonderfully odd and unique world of Blueberry. A place where beauty lies within the soul, creating everlasting love. The population sign said 888. Many lived here for over 1000 years. Knowledge and growth are limitless in their eyes, they haven’t scratched the surface for knowing everything. I used to believe once I graduate college I’ll have learned everything I needed to know in life, that is until I failed out.  Loss of ego is exactly what I needed to start my growth after my college experience. My name is Bradley Jonesiere, I’ve...

“April Tiger Pack” by Tyler H

Submitted to Contest #88

March 31st was the last peaceful day for the wealthy. The entire month of April felt like nightmares coming to life. For the past 60 years, right as time passed from march 31st to April 1st, the attacks began. Attacks on politicians, generals, and all the higher ups in the castle. The castle of Brim, where everyone who dreamed big wanted to live. So much money and power. Everyone seemed happy there.  However, in April the air filled with worry, the castle became eerie. No one wanted to leave their houses, all jobs were closed for the ...

“Soul Flower” by Tyler H

Submitted to Contest #86

“I can’t believe you left without our permission, I hope you realize how hard this is on us. Be safe.” My dad texted me that right as I had to turn in my phone at the neighborhood entrance. I’m glad I didn’t see his text. This normal sized neighborhood was everything but normal, only allowing the exact number of 888 people inside at all times you have to be invited to enter. Around the town many myths and theories spread through my city of what goes on in this neighborhood, but no one knows what happens. That’s why my parents disapproved of ...

“The Restart” by Tyler H

Submitted to Contest #84

The Restart All I knew was darkness. With just a peak of sunlight coming through our bunker underground the only light in my life was the candles we lit every other day. Only one candle every other day because we never knew when we would get out of this place. We weren’t allowed to leave this bunker because there was something blocking the entrance so none of us could ever leave. It's unfortunate that the last time I saw the real world was when I was two weeks old. However, for the first time in my 15 years of life I was excited to say, “WHE...
