“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...

“First Day” by Ashley Olson

Submitted to Contest #40

Kara I walked through the door and searched for a familiar face. I recognized the back of Heather’s head and slipped into the seat next to her. The bell rang as the whole class turned to face the teacher. He introduced himself to everyone in his monotone professor voice and began the first lecture in this same voice, as if he did not care if we remembered the lecture or not. Heather let out a sigh and turned to see who sat on either side of her. She turned to me next, and a smile lit up her face. &nbsp...

“Trouble At Home” by Elsa Zhou

Submitted to Contest #40

Poe"Commander, Commander! We've got the building surrounded. Give us the signal and we'll begin entry," I reported, leaning my head sideways and raising my shoulder to talk better into the walkie-talkie. I felt a rush of adrenaline as I did so. All throughout my childhood, I had wanted to be like this, an officer, a hero defending innocent civilians. Nothing felt better than knowing that a hardened criminal was in the cross-hairs of the BCPD. "You're a go," my walkie-talkie spat. I motioned silently towards the unit, pointing inwards. Moving...

“A naturally messy person” by Amy Birch

Submitted to Contest #40

Ed hears the sound of another bloody bottle saying hello to the bathroom floor. “Not another one?” He calls as he passes the door, which is actually ajar. Stevie’s voice comes back sounding lethargic. “No I reused used the same stuff”.Ed grunts at him. He bumps his feet down the stairs. He’s in a good-ish mood. Keira squeezes by in the hallway. “Alright?” she nods. Norfolk kid, Ed thinks.“Not bad, not bad. How‘bout you?”.…Scottish twat, Keira thinks, amicably. “Yeah, fair, thanks. Something up?”Ed rolls his head back and forth. He’...

“A Short Story #1” by Bryan William Myers

Submitted to Contest #40

A SHORT STORY #1byBRYAN WILLIAM MYERSShe drove with a daggered tooth in her hand. No, it was jagged. Ra, ra, ra. She had that mantra going on in her brain. She wanted to begin again at something real. And she was very tired of the all-too-common novel way of internalizing everything. In other words, she wanted to be free. Freedom for her meant really letting go. Why had she pulled out her own tooth? It was loose, of course. And what were you supposed to do with teeth that were loose? YOU PULLED THEM OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. THAT'S WHAT. AH...

“The Different Sides of Heartbreak” by Kaylar Fullington

Submitted to Contest #40

“I don’t want to be together anymore.” Her stomach dropped to her feet. This was what she had feared for months now. Her first boyfriend, her first love, was rejecting her. Tears streamed down her face. She just couldn’t understand WHY. She had done everything to make him happy. He tried to explain, but there was nothing he said that made sense. She crawled off the piano bench in the private practice room on their college campus, trying to get away from him, to run from the tear that was opening in her heart. Simultaneously she...

“The Cold, Dirty High School Floor” by Hope Palmer

Submitted to Contest #40

"Hi." I looked up to see someone standing right above me. I say someone because I honestly couldn't tell you whether it was a boy or a girl. "Hi," I responded, my voice guttural, "What's your name?"I didn't know why he or she was standing above me, or why they wouldn't back off, but I figured names were an okay way to start a conversation. "Malik," he said, "Well, it's not technically - uh, never mind then.""Oh," I said, "Okay.""Yea," he said, "Er, so I guess you want me to back off.""That would be great," I said, "I'm Christina.""Hi," he sa...

“The Fate of John” by Ted Villamarzo

Submitted to Contest #40

Maya hurried towards the school canteen to meet her gang. Gang wouldn’t be the proper word. It’s true that they usually are together, but that’s because they grew up in the same neighborhood together and went to school together and they spend time together because they had no other choices, the other boys and girls were a bit more obnoxious. Frenemies would be a good term, as ...

“Homecoming Day!” by Jherico Casabay

Submitted to Contest #40

Jherico:It’s homecoming day! I can not wait for this week to end. Do not get me wrong, I had a blast being a part of it, but it’s one of those fun things where you love it after the fact it is over, and right now, I’m not lovin it. I woke up extra early today for the homecoming rally, which happens to be early in the morning. I’m not too worried about winning and what not because the thing is: I don’t care. Popularity is so gross in high school. I’m all for the good real relationships. My act comes next and I decide to bust out the clarinet ...

“The Ouija Board” by Koi KOAH

Submitted to Contest #40

It was strange, unnatural. I felt like I was already watched and the board was yet to be set up. We really had decided to do this, ha?"No, put it in the middle.""Right it will be easier for all of us to reach it.""Well... yeah."I didn't think I would be nervous but that thing was a bit dangerous and Jace with Bernadett just casually slid the board around the table as if it was nothing. And they took forever to finally find the perfect place on the table for the board because of their arguing. I didn't listen that much on who said what, but c...

“Taken Without Virtue” by Sara B.

Submitted to Contest #40

The taste of it was metallic, almost. He trembled from a loud banging in his ear as the sound echoed violently, his eardrum creating a thrumming sensation within his brain. His friends outside were lifeless, with barely a twitch to signify they were still alive. With the press of a button, the man outside the little window sent the thrumming back through his body, and he crawled into the corner of the room, shaking. Afraid, and consumed by pain, the foam dripping from his mouth. He could see out of the corner of his eye the glass that ...

“Who's the Friend? ” by Emory Nik

Submitted to Contest #40

Jack----------------------------------- “Geez, Karen, when you said your party was going to be killer, I didn’t think you meant it literally.” “Well, Jack, I’m sorry I didn’t warn you that an actual dead body would make an appearance tonight.” “What are we going to do?” the Witch shrieked. Lisa’s voice was as grating as the first day I heard it back in high school; befitting her Halloween costume choice... and personality. At that moment I decided to rename her as such: the Witch. “You found him,” the Wi...

“Lawn Party” by Namwima Buluma

Submitted to Contest #40

1It was just a small gathering at JJ’s - not a gathering per se, but a gradual agglutination of individuals in the vicinity. No deliberate attempt to exclude you, I promise. I was passing by on my way to a great rendition of Sarafina (my sister is in the cast, playing one of those insignificant roles she repeatedly stumbles into; she has such immense vitality and stage presence, you wouldn’t even notice she lacks professional polish) but I spotted the trollop on the lawn, so I had to march over there and confront her abou...

“Their Last, My First. ” by Jose Alvarado Espinoza

Submitted to Contest #40

It’s my first year of high school, but all anyone seems to talk about is what happened last year. I’ve tried asking people what happened, but nobody seems to know what actually happened. The thing that I know for sure is that only the seniors were involved, and no one, absolutely no one aside from the seniors knew what really happened. “Why do you care?” Bern asked. “I don’t care, I’m just curious.” “What a nerd.” “Shut up, do you know anything about it?” “Not really. I’ve heard that they took one of their parents' police cars, and the...
