TO ABSENT FRIENDSBy Andrew Paul Grell“Ya know, it isn’t easy getting sticks seven feet long.”“We know, Stretch. That’s why you’re the chairman of the firewood and floriate utensil committee,” Alice reminded her old grade school friend. “You’re tall enough to just snap ‘em off if ya can’t find ‘em on the ground. Good job. We can all have toasted marshmallows and weenies and be confident that we’re maintaining social distancing.”“She said ‘weenie’ heh heh heh”“Shut up, Stu. You haven’t changed one bit since 6th grade. How did you get to be a S...

“The Survivalist, the Photographer, and the Prankster” by Kate Peterson

Submitted to Contest #40

Mckayla My friends and I are going on an amazing trip together. We’re gonna go camping in the woods. I drove them there, but not everyone was as excited as I was. Toby kept asking if we were there yet, Brenda kept making up excuses to try and go back home, Gabby was staring out the window, searching for some sign of wildlife. Bryce was briefing us on survival tips for every situation, even though I kept telling him there was no way a blizzard could hit us in the middle of April. It was getting dark when we got to the campsite, and Toby...

“Guidance” by Joan Kearney

Submitted to Contest #40

“What’s the plan?” Ms. Beder asked rushing into the main office to speak with the principle Mrs. Kennedy.She appeared overwhelmed, “I guess we’ll make an announcement, um well, yea come over to my desk.” Ms. Beder followed Principle Kennedy over to her desk.“Alright, well as head of guidance, I’ll definitely need your input on this,” Mrs. Kennedy said as she sat down and opened a file folder.“I don’t think we’ve ever had something like this happen, but the kids must already know, it was all over social media last night.“This girl’s parents m...

“Wedding Blessings And Burdens” by Sze-Ning Chuah

Submitted to Contest #40

Evita - The Bride Today’s our wedding day. I was struggling with my veil. It’s far too long. And the front’s making my nose itch. Thank heavens for my bridesmaids helping me manoeuvre the fabric, plus a sneaky antihistamine courtesy of Danielle, my maid of honour. Papa held my hand and squeezed it three times when we stood at the entrance of the church. He kept doing that repeatedly as we walked towards the altar, where the priest, the rest of the bridal party and my groom, Song assembled. Darn it, the old man was trying...

“Who broke Marjorie Levinsky?” by Dobby's Sock

Submitted to Contest #40

The walls were starch blue and appeared as bored as Jai. As the door swung open, his gaze broke. "Good evening junior," Kent, the senior of the two said out loud. Without waiting for a response, he continued, "report?"Jai waved it at him while sipping coffee. Kent did not take it, but pushed his coat lapels apart and sliding his thumb under the waist of his brown pants, he waited. He was a man with a curly beard and almost no hair. Jai pulled back the report to himself. It was titled: "Marjorie Levinsky, Case File"Shifting his gaze from...

“Camping Trip” by Robyn Jipp

Submitted to Contest #40

Becca:Yeah, I can tell you exactly what happened that night, but I don't know if you'll believe me.The day started out with Nicole, Debbie, Alyssa and me picking Lena up from the airport. She'd spent most of the summer in Europe, and since there were still a couple more weeks before school started up again the five of us decided to go camping together at my patents' vacation cabin in the woods. So we piled into my mom's minivan, which I had to beg her to let me borrow, and after scooping Lena up from the airport we headed off. I don't know i...

“A Blossom Saturday” by Philip Baker

Submitted to Contest #40

MarkI couldn't believe it. I was rubbing my eyes and looking at them again and again. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe the drink I had earlier was mixed with chemicals that made me hallucinate. I would prefer it if I was to be the crazy one. Maybe everything was a figment of my imagination. Stories out of the mind of a psychotic person. But I can see them clearly. They are standing together in the middle of the street. They are close to each other and gentle. In an improper way. He even hugged her by the arm for a bit. Intimate with each other an...

“Routine Stop” by Lauren Oertel

Submitted to Contest #40

They’re on their way to a party when Caitlin gets a text that it has already been broken up. Devon is the designated driver, as usual. The girls are always happy to take him up on free rides and they never give too much thought as to why he doesn’t drink like the rest of them do. April suggests they get some food at Denny’s so the night isn’t a total waste. In this winter chill a hot burger and fries sound perfect and a few minutes later Devon turns into the parking lot. As soon as he parks behind the building the four of them notice red and...

“Alex Bunting” by Isabel Curtis

Submitted to Contest #40

The night was pitch black in the small Wellington city. People were sound asleep in their beds whilst others lit up the streets to have a joyous time on that hot summer’s night. However, one building was not having as a happy and joyous time. Deep inside, in the interrogation’s cells, sat five people that rotated seats as if it were musical chairs to share their stories on what had happened earlier that year. A singular light hung its warm light above each person who either sweat, cried or stone faced through the interrogations. One pol...

“The Music” by Katy Pepper

Submitted to Contest #40

The Bow The darkness is suffocating, closing the entire world in around me. Velvet against my skin, making me warm, almost comfortable. Yet still, I am frozen inside. I watch the barometer, glowing in the dark, warning me of the pressure changing in time to my heat. The only time I am ever truly warm is when I am with the Rosin, my closest partner-in-crime.Suddenly, hands begin to lift the lid of my enclosure, blinding me to the light outside. Unable to see, I am taken by the person I like the least. My owner. Someone like me doesn’t want t...

“Three's Company ” by D J

-L-There’s a man sitting across me, his left hand wrapped in a green striped dishcloth, soaked with blood. I gag. Next to him, his wife, presumably, seems unconcerned by his injury. She roughly flips through a faded copy of People magazine. The man glances up at her from time to time looking sheepish, but she’s determinedly avoiding eye contact.I look away from the happy couple and turn to my friend, D, next to me.“Hey, do you think we should ask them for an update?” I ask worriedly.D also has an old copy of People magazine open in front of ...

“the call of the wild” by Jim Murray

Submitted to Contest #40

v The Call of the Wild In the morning they came with the medicines. The pills were pink and blue and yellow, variegated, and sometimes the capsules were multicolored. These were doled out by the lab-coated charge nurse, who extracted the tablets from white, plastic bottles or from cards of silver foil. The patients were clad in pajamas, and were bleary-eyed from too much sleep, too much of hell and sleeping pills, as they queued around the dispensing nurse for their morning dose.Breakfast consisted of tea and t...
