“Changed My Life Forever” by Esther Jeon

Submitted to Contest #201

Blackpink in your area! We all sang in an uproar. I was with my dance team at my local dance studio. We are a group of mostly East Asians. I've been dancing and singing with them for a few years now. I've always been a fan of K-pop as I've grown up in South Korea with my family. I soon came to California because my parents wanted a better life for me and my younger siblings, Esme and Elaine. I have always had a passion for singing and dancing. My dream was to become an idol. Of course, that's just a silly dream. I can't help but wonder...

“THE TALENT'S THE BOSS” by Charles Corkery

Submitted to Contest #201

THE TALENT’S THE BOSS Bobby-Lee sat alone in the dressing room, the show long over, the crowds that had screamed for the Pussycat Imps long since dispersed, the other Imps departed having barely wished her farewell or good luck. As she stared around her at the incredible amount of mess left behind, it was difficult to come to terms with the fact that never again would all four of them perform in front of their fanatical fans. This backstage area was really such a small room, yet the Imps had left such a shambles of clutter for somebody else ...

“Solitude never left” by Hanniyah Canty

Submitted to Contest #201

The tour bus would always feel like a home away from home for Mikey. Although he hated making anywhere feel comfortable enough to settle down in, he couldn’t help but turn the rectangular space into a half assed man cave on wheels. It was a bond he cultivated overtime, giving him the comfort to lean in further than he had expected. The space's interior was naturally dark, so his first instinct was to string a series of LED lights across the velveted ceiling. They would light up the whole space giving his eyes something pretty to gloss over. ...

“A love letter ” by Sofia Albertini

Submitted to Contest #201

Paris, 3rd of June, 2023 This is a love letter. A love letter that you’ll never read. It’s a letter meant for you, that I’m really writing for me, for someone else to read about us. Yes, we’re complicated that way. Where does one even start with love letters? It can’t be from the first time I met you; I simply have no recollection of it. Maybe from the last time I saw you - standing by the veranda when time left a trail of soft wrinkles beneath your eyes. I hate those days, the days when time feels heavy, like an impending storm waitin...

“Solo con Tutti” by Meg Taylor

Submitted to Contest #201

‘Tony, pick up the music,’ said George with an exasperated sigh, ‘Stop behaving like a two year old, and get over yourself. Sheesh! Anyone would think the world revolved around you.’ Luciano, Pietro and Simon ushered George from the rehearsal space knocking stands and chairs over in their rush to remove him from Tony’s line of sight. There had been more than one incident recently when George had pushed Tony’s buttons and the response had become physical. ‘I don’t understand you two,’ said Pietro, ‘You’re both wonderful tenors, but you fi...
