“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...

“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...

“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...

“Trio Tales” by Alexis Klein

Submitted to Contest #40

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...

“Accident” by Hannah Smith

Submitted to Contest #40

"Can you tell us what happened, that day?"Alice frowned in thought, humming nervously to give herself time.She needed time to collect her thoughts, to remember the events prior and form a coherent tale. Despite it being only her and the officer, alone in the room, she felt like it was full of so many more; she felt each person staring down at her, invisible eyes boring into her soul, adding more pressure to her anxious mind.But it wasn't her fault, it can't have been...It shouldn't have ended like this.Matt frowned. This wasn't an ideal situ...

“Shot Up” by Lola Davidson

Submitted to Contest #40

AdalinaAs I hear the screams, feel the heat, taste the metallic blood in my mouth, smell the perspiration of so many bodies fallen on the floor, see Matthew standing above me ready to shoot... I remember. I remember how close Matthew and I had been when we were younger. How our mothers were close, how we were born in the same hospital, how we grew up together. Then, after all of the good comes flooding back, all of the bad crashes down on me. I remember the first day of sixth grade, where your status began to matter. I remember teasing Matth...

“Keep Your Eyes on Me” by Alexa Dahl

Submitted to Contest #40

DinnaI pick up the music in the tent and watch people walk in the giant tent in the middle of the carnival. As more and more people enter the more I don’t want to go in, you listen to the ooh’s and ahh’s but I’ve seen enough movies to know that won’t last long. A cold rough hand rests on my shoulder and I jump in fear again turn around to look at the people standing there wearing hoods so I couldn’t recognize their faces and become frozen in fear and get a growl come from one of them as another pulls out a bloody knife then&nb...

“Inner Circle” by Michael Wills

Submitted to Contest #40

The killer whales had arrived without a noise and surprised the activist who had fallen from the electric boat circling the off shore oil rig. Typically Orca’s do not attack humans, there are very few attacks in the wild reported. This was one of the reasons that Jeff did act in fear upon seeing these magnificent animals appear around him, the boat, and the rig. Captain Ron, Commander Steve, and biologist Sarah all felt the same but what transpired baffled each of them and changed potentially the inter-mammal relationship. The Sherman o...

“The Protest” by Mark Kodama

Submitted to Contest #40

I. It was the greatest non-violent student protest since the early 1970s. All the newspapers and television stations covered the event. Even the Associated Press sent a reporter. It was a national news story. It all began when the Student Union, the governing body of the undergraduates cut funding for all the minority groups on campus. The Student Union proposed slashing the budget for the Black Students Ass...

Lidel: Dear Diary. Abe: June 7, 2020. Ika: You'll never guess what happened today!Lidel: Diary, I don't think I've ever been as embarrassed in my life!Abe: I suppose to most people this wouldn't be an ordinary Saturday, but with my friends everything abnormal seems normal. Ika: So, so so! I was with my friends Abe and Lidel, like always, and we were hanging out at the park. I'm never growing too old for the park. I love the swings. I managed to convince Lidel to push me. Lidel: Ika convinced me to push her on the swings, which does seem a li...

“Underneath the Light” by Isabel Sutherland

Submitted to Contest #40

It was dim and murky in the police headquarters. The entrance was filled with smoke and many walked around with stacks of papers and yellow folders. There was not much noise other than the occasional rings of phones and the throbbing panic that filled your mind; and only grew more and more as you continued walking forward into the building. Only those who worked there and the insane were calm in such a place. For many who might walk through the doors, for them the experienced would be described as a silent chaos. This definitely is not a sui...

“Death of a Life” by Audrey Luanne Adarga

Submitted to Contest #40

*****There were no stars that night.A phantom maestro pulled his fisted hands to the sides and the constant chirping of the crickets and hoots of the big-eyed owls ceased – the death of a rhythm.We only heard the dry crackle of the leaves we massacred along the way to the deepest part of the woods.Only the faintest light of the moon shone through the thick, grey clouds that also ate up the once-luminescent stars. That light was the only witness to the deed we were going to do tonight.George and I huffed up every breath we could draw. You ask...

“Moving Day” by Laura Elliott-Blood

Submitted to Contest #40

SaraI cannot believe today is actually here – It’s MOVING DAY! Saving since college, my dream of owning my own home is finally a reality! I cannot believe I did this! It’s the perfect condo with a great balcony that I am going to decorate perfectly. Mom and Dad will be so impressed, if they ever get around to visiting. The last time I saw them was graduation. The time before that was when I came home for Christmas. Mom would love the natural light that streams in from these bay windows. If I make...

“The Disaster Day” by Wissal El Aagueb

Submitted to Contest #40

Before the disasterEllenAbout six am, I automatically went to Sabrina's bed to wake her up like always but she wasn't there. Silly me, of course, she won't be. She already went to her hometown. I sat there thinking how the morning felt weird without her yelling at me for waking her up. My best friend wasn't a morning person. I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly I remembered why I woke up this early. I run to Helen's room, knocking on the door, I heard a few huffed sounds before the door opens revealing my third roommate-best friend. ...

“A Different Point of View” by Blane Britt

Submitted to Contest #40

Me, Bona Fided, Can’t Quite Hear Ray Ray, Dora the Explorer and Man Root are sitting in the wooden bleacher stands, drinking out of a big brown paper bag from a 2 gallon jug of 100 proof moonshine. Bona Fided who got his name from being sincerely; without intention to deceive and who it is said to be someone who is a mad and insane cartoon watching truth speaker. Incapable of telling a bold face lie and is trusted by all. Even when he personally vouched for that Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen from Cartoon Network's Advent...
