“A Messy Thing” by Robert Cramer

Submitted to Contest #105

Statement of Stewart Forsyth. Male. 34. Insurance Adjuster. She fell. No, I didn't follow her. I was there because she invited me. I'd actually made a point to avoid her that night, until she approached me. This wedding had been postponed so many times. First by the bride, then the groom, then COVID. I thought we’d be giving eulogies before wedding toasts, so when it finally happened all the groomsmen made a pact to focus on celebrating the bride and groom. No distractions. No chasing women. And in walks the maid of honor. She has ...

“What makes a villain?” by Elizabeth Greenwoods

Submitted to Contest #105

What makes a villain? First there is perspective. Humans are unable to see things from the same point of view, we are doomed to live a life where everything is relative. Ambiguous. Then how is it possible that we still figure out a way of communicating, of understanding each other, even if it is in the most shallow way possible? We are not perfect, not even close, so why is it that we still end up loving each other, more than we should be able to? Caring is something strange, because there is nothing more selfish than caring, but we see...

“Sometimes, I still long for those days. Anything is better than this life.” by Bella Cole

Submitted to Contest #105

Ophelia’s POV *** Every time, my mother and father come home their covered in blood. Exhausted, sweaty, the blood coming either from their body or off their hands. They wouldn’t look at me or speak to me. They’d walk right past me, sometimes the blood from their hands would drop to the ground just missing my feet. They’d walk to the bathroom and disappear for the night, no bedtime story, or nighttime shower. I would make myself dinner on those days, and make sure to feed the dog. I would work out my nightly routine by myself, ...

“The Curtain Call” by Remy Zheng

Submitted to Contest #105

Denial (Stage 1) Alyssa is sweating. Heart pounding, she clears her throat, smiling thinly at the camera. She pushes her glasses back to the bridge of her nose, clutching her microphone, and she inhales slowly, chewing on the inside of her cheek. She has interviewed war-lords. She has interviewed war-lords, she has interrogated dictators, and she has travelled hundreds of miles away from her home to speak with the dredges of society. She can handle this. She needs to handle this. “It’s a hoax.” Her voice is quiet —&...

“Giovanna's First Decision” by Kay Martin

Submitted to Contest #105

Mr. Carbone The florist’s daughter wore faded baggy clothing and slouched in a way that allowed her to effortlessly disappear if an anxiety-inducing event were to catch her by surprise. Indeed, she evidently worked hard to make herself unknown to any casual passersby, but clumsiness often found a way to ruin her efforts. Such was the case as she slipped through the frost-coated bakery doors and collapsed near Cairo Carbone’s table with a yelp. ...

“Fade” by Caroline Smith

Submitted to Contest #105

Every year, the three women traveled to the Coney Island boardwalk on the first Saturday of the summer season to watch the fireworks. She didn’t know how to tell them that this year may be her last. That morning, Abigail had received an envelope in the mail. The envelope, the one that congratulated her and told her the admissions department at Stanford would be honored to accept her into its class of 2025. She’d torn open the letter right there at the mailbox and shrieked and her mother had run out the front door, knowing from eighteen yea...

“Did You See It?” by Heather Ann Martinez

Submitted to Contest #105

Did You See It? By Heather Ann Martinez 6 AM Ryan realized his alarm never went off because he forgot to set it. He scrambled to get dressed and ready for work. He brushed his teeth while attempting to shave. He slapped aftershave and cologne and decided to skip breakfast as his face was burning. He ran down the nineteen steps of his apartment building and threw the door open towards the bus stop. His mouth was dry. He smelled fresh ground coffee and periodically turned his head to see if he could pinpoint where the intoxicating arom...

“Anniversary” by Mitchell Awisus

Submitted to Contest #105

Blue and red lights lit the shadowed street of an otherwise peaceful neighborhood. Murmured conversations could be heard among the family members gathered on their front lawns craning their necks to get a better view of the scene in front of them. The sound of a car door closing echoed through the heat of the summer night, a young detective in his freshly pressed suit stepped forward, notepad in hand. “Homicide,” explained the middle aged officer, “coroner said he’s been dead...

“In the Shadows” by Deni Bee

Submitted to Contest #105

In the Shadows (Genevieve) Little did I know as I lay sweating in my bed, too ill to get on with my duties, that the mistress of the house was working on a remedy for me in her still-room. Normally an apothecary would have been sent for, but he was away and his apprentice didn’t know when he would be back. One of the handmaids, Anne, interceded on my behalf and the good lady of the house took her ladies to the household distillery to concoct a remedy for me. According to Anne, they mixed various herbs, which were ground to a fine powder and...

“Triality War” by Adam Applebaum

Submitted to Contest #105

Good, Evil, and Neutral are all very different alignments of morality. I never perfectly identified with any of them. I am neither the type of person to go out of my way to be mean to people nor am I one to let people walk all over me either. I think in a way Neko feels similarly, but Isaac unfortunately is too young to understand such Nuance. Before I get too ahead of myself, I suppose an Introduction is in order. You can call me Adam the Forsaken. I am a two-tailed cat boy who found a book of death and inadvertently played a part in starti...
