“And You Know That I-” by Briana Turner

Submitted to Contest #10

The sun was setting. Sundaze blaze oranges, lilac purples, and cherry blossom pinks with streaks of rosy reds flourished in the sky. The colors were so vibrant that even the moon wasn’t bright enough to shine through. Fireworks could never illuminate the sky like this, now could they? They’re transient. A short-lived burst of ferocious blazes into the calm of navies, blacks and white sparkles was what they were. At least the sky could stay in an artistic attire of colors for more than a mere few seconds. Reinhart took his gaze off the ...

“Delilah” by Arib Khan

Submitted to Contest #10

The screens glimmer in the sunlight. It shines past the tall buildings of glass like light through diamonds, refracted in all its scintillating glory.We stand side by side.“Beautiful, isn’t it?” I ask Delilah. I turn to look at her. She is smiling. I smile too. Her and I have very similar tastes.She wears her favorite dress of black polka-dots and her hair, as always, is cut shoulder length and hanging loose. Behind pairs of long and dark eyelashes, she regards the world with twinkling eyes of ice. And that ever-smile of hers, soft and subtl...

“Cindy and Louis” by Kayla Kaye

Submitted to Contest #10

Two friends, Cindy and Louis, have always got along since they met. The pair met in Kindergarten. Every weekend of Elementary school they would spend together. It was amazing that their parents were best friends now, too. When Cindy was sick you already knew that Louis was going to be sick a few days after. In Junior High School, Cindy and Louis spent every night after school and every weekend together, doing homework and talking about their social lives and other friends. Everyone thought they were dating when they went to the Barn warming ...

“Brenda and Me” by Wendy Spall

Submitted to Contest #10

“Oh you poor little puppy” I exclaimed as I saw the little dog who was being carried by her owner. “What happened” I asked her. Her little dog had it's tiny leg in plaster and she looked so forlorn. I was at my local general store which is the only shop in our little hamlet checking my mail. I only do this once a week as we don't get much mail anymore, not since you've been able to pay all your bills by email. We began talking about her poor little dog and I must have said something clever and she said to me “What a ...

“For God's Sake.” by Leah Pryor

Submitted to Contest #10

Janiece gave Claire a look. The look. The one that said, "Mayday! Mayday! I'm going down! SOS! SEND HELP!"Claire gave her a nod from the barstool she had positioned herself in to be a fly on the wall, a wing man, or an escape plan. Whatever J needed on her blind date. She went to the ladies room. Waited for 45 seconds, then tapped the contacts button on her phone. Of course J's number was the first one to come up in her recent list. Janiece was after all her best friend. Had been since the 5th grade. Would be when Claire was too old and ceni...

“My Best Friend Went To Hell” by Aster Alhossain

Submitted to Contest #10

Jumping over the broken, weathered wooden fence, shovel in hand, I stopped momentarily to catch my breath — the text Sonora sent me three weeks before her funeral was enough to make me search for her in a rage. It was beyond suspicious when everyone in her house survived the fire but her, and it was even more suspicious when no one found evidence of her body. She'd messaged me a week before, saying how there was something she needed to resolve. Even her classmates found her acting somewhat shady during class, and I did too. S...

“Harnie artful Carny and Dinnie, whose doth winnie with horse sense...” by Matthew Harris

Submitted to Contest #10

Accorded beatific cachet regarding best boyhood buddies appellation, while their surrogate anonymous scrivener trails behind. Though figments (i.e. modestly unassumingly wise extensions) dwelling solely within imaginary realm, they actually never shied away coming to the rescue of yours truly. Series of unfortunate events (with Lemony Snicket at the helm ) on the other hand... finds me... ha... invariably tangled within the whirled wide web of illimitable, imponderable, incomprehensible... stream of consciousness reedy bulrushes. Thus on...

“WHO KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN ME?” by Kay Cook

Submitted to Contest #10

It started out as a funny thing. I mean, it really was a funny thing because we were laughing, uproariously laughing. It wasn’t a drunk laughing because I’ve been a drunk laughing one time and that wasn’t it. The remark, or maybe it was a story, I can’t remember right now, but something made us laugh because it tickled our joint sense of humor to the point neither of us could control our sense of decorum and we both let go with loud hoots and snorts of laughter. It was almost a cleansing kind of reaction in that it was a knowing and a realiz...

“Friend over Family” by Pallavi Nerella

Submitted to Contest #10

Friend over FamilyHave you ever wondered why people say " Oh ! My family is the most important thing in the world " ? That's because family loves, supports and understands us unconditionally. They only wish us the best. But what if the same family conspires against you? Who do you go to? A friend. That's right. They say "Friends are the family we choose." There's no formality in friendship. There are no expectations. You can be who you are, behave shamelessly and be silly and they'll still be around. Every other relationship in life expects ...

“Mister Night” by So Jones

Submitted to Contest #10

Another job that requires me to serve snobby rich people only to make my life miserable. I heard the "young master" was an ass hat but I guess that is none of my business. "Charlie what are you doing get to work." said the most ugliest woman I have ever seen no offense. I don't even remember meeting her proves to show how horrible I am at keeping a job. "Yes, ma'am" I said trying to restrain an eye role. Through the next half and hour all I have is the shrimp platter to comfort me which feels absolutely great. The marble floors, red carpet e...
