“Rumours” by Valarie Yong

Submitted to Contest #70

The rumours started slow but steady, until it came to the point where it blew up. These days as one walks through the hallways, all you could hear were the condescending whispers. By the school's lockers, there was a girl standing together with her friend “It was definitely her,” she muttered to the other, “no one else is capable of bullying someone to that point!” In one corner, a hushed but surprised voice sounded “She, she....... she was the cause of Alice's suicide?!” If you were to strain your ears, you would...

He was a person who was grumpy because he was confined to a wheelchair, but he's nice.

“Behind The Door” by Valarie Yong

Submitted to Contest #12

I wonder...... What mysteries does this door contained? I hummed as I paced in front of the door. I've never thought that there would be a hidden door like this in my house. Well, it never hurt to investigate it a bit right? I opened the door and immediately, I heard chain clinking against each other. Is the door locked? It wasn't, the door creaked open easily, nothing obstructing it. Then what was that chain? Immediately, my doubts were cleared. The light creeped into the room through the door, I could barely see a small figure, probably ...
