“The Spirit Board” by Jessica Tomaselli

Submitted to Contest #40

The normalcy of school was a relief after the chaos of the weekend. Joanna had homeroom with Father Neiman, a kindly if somewhat self-effacing priest. Joanna had tried to talk through what had happened Saturday night with her parents, but they had just scolded her for not calling them to pick her up. But she needed to know what had really happened, so after Father had finished taking attendance, she had approached his desk and quietly told him about that night. He was comforting, but didn’t answer her fundamental question, leaving her ...

Mt. Tai, Shandong Province, PRCWeChat Group Chat: Beijinger PalsTia@All: I have seen many things while studying abroad here in China this summer. A Mormon guy gulping down a giant fried scorpion on a stick, claiming it tasted like fried chicken skin afterwards. The view of a downwards sloping mountain from the vantage point ofa seat on a rickety golf cart speeding along its highest road on the peak. I swear I even heard the ghost of a eunuch inside the walls of the Forbidden City, but what I have NEVER seen before was when we were all just h...

“The disappearance ” by Dileth Duarte

Submitted to Contest #40

Marie, Candy, Luna and Katy were best friends since elementary school. They were like sisters. They did everything together. They spent almost every weekend either at each other's house or at the stores. Marie was the shy and more responsible one. Candy was the party animal of the group. Luna was the fashionable one out of the group. Katy was the athletic one in the group. The summer before Freshman year, Candy had gone to spend the summer at her family's summer club. Unfortunately, Candy had gotten into home trouble at the summer club...

“Here” by Anisah H

Submitted to Contest #40

ASHLEY Shadows danced on the table around my hands as the yellow car light glow shone through the gaps between the vinyl window stickers. Waitresses wiped crumbs off the counter tops and packed away leftover pastries as the day merged into night. I basked in the calm glow of the café, soaking up the atmosphere. My sanctuary, my home. Would I miss it? How could I not? This angelic town where bad things did not happen. I’d built a name for myself here, my medals a springboard into a mountain of opportunity. But would I miss it enough it to ret...

“Trust Fall” by April Lectrice

Submitted to Contest #40

My bow had been taken along with my quiver of arrows. I tried to pull away from my captures, but it was in vain. They pulled me into the helicopter. I caught one last glance at my friends. The fighting was still going strong, but I was able to find some of my comrades amid the fighting. One of them looked up at me and I saw the horror on their face as the helicopter rose into the air. I lost sight of them. I couldn’t see the battle. The door was open and I dared to sneak closer to the edge, trying to see what would happen to my friends. My f...

“All For Geronimo” by Alex Santana

Submitted to Contest #40

Adri: It was not my fault the alarm went off. Hannah, Brady, Ben, Jayde, Tainan, Declan, Lily: It was totally Adri’s fault the alarm went off. Adri: It wasn’t even a big deal, I don’t know why they’re acting like I’m the main cause of this! Hannah gave me the faulty code, and Tainan didn’t even pick the lock correctly! They were in charge of making sure the operation went well! Declan: Yeah, in Adri’s defense, Lily’s car wouldn’t start. We had no getaway, so we all were gonna get busted regardless. Jayde: If only Brady had remembered to get ...

“Far Away from Home” by Brianna Solis

Submitted to Contest #40

Their was no one their, I was all alone. The sky never seemed so blue, as the grass was a bright yellow and green. People were dying, while arms were being fired. "One down, two to go!" yelled the enemy. I didn't know if I was the one, you know the one to go. Paralyzed, I could barely move. This happened once when I was little, I was so afraid that I literally became paralyzed. I told my self going into this gig, that I had to be brave, and I had to be strong. I vowed, I was the the one who vowed to the US, to my family and to God that I was...

“Russian Roulette” by E James

Submitted to Contest #40

COOPER CARSON: “Give me… two,” Amanda said as she placed two cards face down on the basement floor in front of her and drew two cards from the stack between us.“Alright, it’s time to lay ‘em down!” Brent called as he started a drumroll on his bare thighs. He was already down to his boxer shorts and folded early in an effort to keep them on. Shelly was curled up under a blanket beside him, nursing a can of beer from my parents’ fridge. I looked hard at Amanda as she sat cross-legged across from me in her t-shirt and shorts, but she stare...

“MATTERS OF PERSPECTIVE” by Mike Williams

Submitted to Contest #40

Each spring, the community picnic occurred in April at the Meadows Recreation Area. People of the neighboring towns of Bellerose and Queens Village would come together to spend the afternoon catching up on the previous year’s activities and events. Hot dogs and hamburgers were a guarantee. Corn-on-the-cob was the big drawing card for the children. No knife or fork. Just hold on to it. Watermelon would follow later. The beginning of a warm time. The beginning of real fun. School about to be done, and the sensations of summer wer...

“The Loveletter” by Hope Everlasting

Submitted to Contest #40

YayaAfter my birthday, Valentine’s day is a close second. Blessed with beauty from birth it comes to no surprise that I easily become the center of attention, receiving 1 dollar roses from 8th graders to 15 dollar bouquets with teddy bears from seniors. You may be thinking Beauty fades away with time. That's exactly why I am not about to spend my prime years worried about how vain people think I am. I’m going to enjoy my moments without reserve. “Yaya Bande” the prefect called out, my heart raced. “ Five single red roses, Two bou...

“You will never guess what happened” Said Clara“Oh yes I forgot about that” Said Mark“Wait no can I please tell him” Said Jemimah“No Jemimah, you told Old Roger. I want to tell him” Said PollyThe children sat together around the table, Polly’s little blue shoes clunking against the wooden bench as she shuffled around, unable to contain herself. A silver spoon flaked with porridge waved startlingly through the air as Jemimah flung herself in front of her little sister, clasping her hand over Polly’s mouth. A tongue fought its way through Jeme...

“Friendly Competition” by Sam Pollak

Submitted to Contest #40

Steph “It’s Friday girls night in game night on zoom with friends,” Paige sang. That’s a bit of a mouthful, I thought. I’m not a big fan of Friday girls night in game night on zoom with friends, but I had nothing better to do, so I might as well get some much needed socialization, since staring at yourself and three other people on a computer screen while you try to play charades counts as socialization these days. “Does everyone have a pen and paper?” Paige asked. Melissa and Jenna nodded. “Do you have it, Steph?” I nodded. “Yeah...

“A Girl Forgotten” by Jane Doe

Submitted to Contest #40

1954 The greenery of the beryl hills lined with cold streams of beauty was under the feet of a girl forgotten. She was alone in the world and existed to prove everything wrong. “You’ll be pretty someday, Essie, I know you will.” Said Sine, the beautiful sister. Saoirse despised the nickname Essie. Yet, she bared it today. She was standing in front of the mirror, her willowy body hiding under a hated pink bridesmaid dress. This was Sine’s weddi...

“Trio Tales” by Alexis Klein

Part INoelle As I wait for my turn to present at the school Science Fair, I browse the other projects, looking for another of the same style. Yes! I thought, specifically looking for and not seeing any other projects about bacteria growth and gravity, or one or the other. As I walked back to my project, I noticed a man in a black trench coat that appeared to be judging a boy I knew by the name of Elisha, who had done a project on gravitational pull impacting migration patterns in fish. I realized I was staring and hurried back t...

“The Robbery” by Michael Brown

Submitted to Contest #40

Jack: So, the other day I went to hang out with my friends. We went to our usual hangout spot and we were in the unfortunate position of witnessing a robbery, but before I explain any further I should probably explain a little about my friend group. First up we have Ronnie, Ronnie is the “jokester” of the group. He is always clowning on someone for something, it’s hard to take him seriously sometimes because of that, it's also hard to not get mad at him sometimes for it. It does get a little annoying. Next up, we have Nate. Nate is, well, so...
