“An Open and Shut Case” by Zomo Bean

Submitted to Contest #72

I live in Sliver Springs, a sleepy hamlet town in the English countryside. Nothing really exciting happens here, and the most excited thing to be featured in the Silver Springs Gazette is that a sheep trampled into someone's yard and destroyed their prized voilets. I used to work for Scotland Yard, but I got reassigned to the small town. The town only had less than a thousand people, trufully I think there is more sheep than people. I get the usual run of the mill cases- property disbutes or disorderly contuct. My job isn't that glamerous...

“The Pool Story” by Zomo Bean

Submitted to Contest #72

I loved reading fairy tales when I was younger, the dashing prince saves the damsel in distress. They most often begin with "Once Upon a Time", and ends with "They lived happily ever after". Of course, sandwiched between those two things would be challenges, tribulations, and eventually a happy ever after. The "happy ever after" might not come at all at first, but everything does get resolved. I do love romantic fairy tales, but it is even better when it is a real story. I always ask my mom the story of how she met my dad. She has told ...

“Fried Green Tomatoes.. I think.” by Zomo Bean

Submitted to Contest #71

I love baking and cooking, I am always making muffins or cookies for friends, family. I have a freezer stocked full of scrumptious muffins, cookies, or fritters. When anybody comes to my very tiny cramped apartment, they always leave with a goody bag stuffed to the gills with pastries, or pies. I am a self-taught baker and cook, I never went to a fancy cooking school. I have a binder stuffed full of recipes that I have collected from books, cooking magazines, or from family friends. Through a lot of trial and error.. lots of errors I became ...

“My Son's First Halloween” by Zomo Bean

Submitted to Contest #65

Ah Halloween that magical time of year, streets lined with pumpkins and kids in colorful costumes. It was my first Halloween, actually my son's first Halloween. I had married my high school sweetheart, and a few years later we had a son. My high school sweetheart was the foreign exchange student from Russia. Most Russians tend to be quite conservative and do not celebrate Halloween. However, since our son Alexei was also American and old enough I thought it would be perfect to let him experience the joy and wonders of Halloween. I love Hal...

“The Haunted Bridge” by Zomo Bean

Submitted to Contest #65

Graveyards. I hate graveyards they are so spooky, even more at night. Me and my friend Alick were in Mr. Jones's sophmore history class and we were taking a trip to the local cementary. Why not somewhere less creepy like the morge or possibly an underground chamber lined with bones. Most of the graves are pioneer graves. You know traveled by covered wagon, forged raging rivers, foraged for roots and grubs and wore bonnets. We were asked to make grave rubbings. I found a well worn grave, covered with ivy. Legend has it that this is the grave ...

Author bio

Hello I am Zomobean (some call me "Zomo") I love writing, and reading historical fiction. In my spare time, I love to write. I guess you could say I have a unique style of writing. I write stories that I would read. Relatable characters, lots of twists and turns. Stories full of adventure, no gushy romances, or super scary horror. I am an avid reader. As soon as I learned to read, I couldn't stop. I would often read books that were targeted towards to boys. (Mostly because I was and still am a tomboy) I also love to read comic books and manga. I have taken American and Asian history courses. I majored in geography, and I make maps as a living. I love telling stories, some are based on things that happened to me, or are about people that I know. Each of my stories has an element of truth, but I also have a rampant imagination so who knows?! I love writing what I call "realistic fantasy", my stories are grounded in reality or the real world but has a fantasy or magical element to it. I also love writing historical fiction, or mystery. I kind of write horror. (a non-scary horror)
