“Love Behind the Darkness” by Vince Balisi

Submitted to Contest #63

It was a sunny morning when Trevor came to his favorite hill with an apple tree at the top. When he picked his apple, he realized that someone picked an apple first and when he looked behind the tree, there's a girl named Alicia. Alicia seems to be so beautiful yet there are so many scars on her body, her eyes are covered with darkness. "You know this view is really iconic" Trevor said. "I wish I can see this view like how people appreciate the beauty of this place", Alicia responded. The girl became blind because she don't want to see her F...

“Pink Lady ” by Sophia Sackey

Submitted to Contest #63

It is always so oxymoronic in autumn. Leaves on trees bright green and their brothers and sisters fiery orange, scattered on the cold wet floors.I love autumn; the weather is not too cold and the outfits are so cute and comfy.There isn’t much to do in our little town. I live in a small town just outside London. I live with my parents and my sisters. I love them all dearly but sometimes I just need to get away.My favourite thing to do is go apple picking. It is great at this time of year. They are at their ripest. The bright greens and golde...

“Apple Picking” by Josephine Andersen

Submitted to Contest #63

Apple Picking Annie picked up the phone, “Hello! Annie here.” “Hi there!” It was Ivan’s voice, which in spite of everything, sent a tingle down her spine. “Would you like to go apple picking? It is good weather for a run along the coast and it should only take an hour to get there. We can stop half way somewhere, for a picnic tea. I have a hamper from Farthings which should fill a gap.” He had chosen the one thing above all, that would entice her to accept the invitation. “Alright ,” said Annie, “but expect to carry on with the arg...

“The Regret” by A. Sarkar

Submitted to Contest #63

The sky turned crimson indicating the arrival of fall but for the old man it was all the same. He lived in a secluded house on the skirts of the town. No one knew his name, 'the old man' that's what he was called. He has no one, no family no friends. He grows seasonal fruits and vegetables and sell them in the town's street market and during fall he would help pick apples from the apple field. It was another day for the old man as he grabbed his old ragged jute bag and sauntered to the apple field along with his Wooden cart. His life...

“Robin Goodfellow and the Apples of Inspiration” by Ian Wilson

Submitted to Contest #63

Robin Goodfellow and Bobert sat at their usual table near the fireplace at the pub, as they usually did this time of the evening. The fire crackled softly, the air was filled with the smell of food and pipe-smoke, and the sounds of laughter and singing.The master thief and his apprentice were waiting for a client who, according to Bobert, would pay quite a bit of money. “Where’s this so-called high-profile client, Bobert?” said Robin, lighting his pipe. “He’s coming eventually,” said Robin. “I’m beginning to wonder if he exist...

“The Age of Blood” by Dominik Sorensen

Submitted to Contest #63

“Do you think father will return from the wars anytime soon?” Alice asked. She was young and naïve, only four years younger than Kross. Even so, thirteen and nine were far different in maturity. He was the man of the house and had to take care of his sister and mother while his father was gone. It was his duty. “I don’t know. He’ll do what has to be done to feed us, and will return when the king sees fit and wills it to be so,” he said. “But the king is mean and hurts people just for fun, that’s what mother says. She said he hurt he...

“Just Apple Picking” by Sue Marsh

Just Apple Picking Suzanne Marsh I should have titled this Lucy and Ethel pick apples, it is that sort of a story. My neighbor Sandy, was the type who was always talking about natural and organic vegetables and fruit. How delicious home grown items were. She, was always sending over samples. Tomato sauce that she canned or green beans fresh from the garden. She texted me one morning: “Hey, how would you like to go picking apples? There is an add in paper for Apple Granny's Barn in Middleport. It will be fun. Be ready at ten” I texted back:...

“Orchard of Osiris” by JJ Kirkpatrick

Submitted to Contest #63

It feels like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment. I’m standing on a hill at the most majestic apple orchard you’ve ever seen. The trees rise so high and it seems like there are thousands of them, all in perfect green rows. I haven’t done this since I was a little boy, and twenty some year later it feels very different. Almost important. Who could have guessed something this simple could be so divine? Jess is here with me. She has never looked more beautiful or at peace. The light bouncing through her brown curl...

“Apple Cider” by Sydney Jensen

Submitted to Contest #63

“This is lame,” Emily grumbled, trailing slightly behind Olivia as they walked. She stuffed her hands in the pockets of her yellow sweatshirt. Olivia rolled her eyes. She was trying to be patient with her new step-sister, but she was pushing her buttons today. “Seriously lame.” “Okay, I get it. But homemade apple cider is part of our Halloween tradition.” “But why can’t you just get it at the store?” “Because, one, homemade tastes better, and two, it’s the experience of making it together. All of us.” “You guys have s...

“A Bushel and a Peck” by Nathan Clift

Submitted to Contest #63

Today is the day that Kyle would have to man up and do what men for thousands of generations had to do. He would have to do what men一real, true, manly men一 have gone to war for. He would have to face his fears and slay the beast. It would take all of his courage, but he will do what he has to do to do the impossible: go on a date. To the normal person, this would be fine. This would be an everyday occurrence. Heck, this wouldn’t even be an issue. However, this is Kyle’s FIRST date. Not his first date ever, but his first date since th...

“Resurgence” by Emily Sara

Submitted to Contest #63

“The weather is a bit shitty today” I said, with my forehead gently pressed against the window, listening to each drop of rain as they’re falling. I turn my head to face my boyfriend, Ray, sitting in the driver’s seat, with a smug look on his face. I keep staring while biting my lip trying to think of ways to engage him. “What?” He notices me. “Sorry, I’m driving.” He says. “You text while driving and you’re telling me you’re too focused to have a little small talk?” Bullshit. He has something else on his mind. He has become pretty distant...

Submitted to Contest #63

John and Joan met three years ago while apple picking. Every year they go back to the same orchard in the north Georgia mountains to celebrate their anniversary of meeting. This year would be different. This year John was going to propose to Joan. He rented a cabin in the woods, which overlooked the Blue Ridge Mountains and where they would stay when she said yes. Yes to her marrying him and spending the rest of her life with him as his wife. They had been dating since that first day at the orchard and were deeply in love. John planned the e...

“Forbidden Fruit” by Trish Bell

Submitted to Contest #63

Cold air forcefully cleaned my lungs as I took my first deliberate breaths of the morning. My eyes slowly crept open. It was all there as I had expected. Blue sky. Bright sunshine. Bold coloured leaves. My favourite time of year was here at last. I know many hate autumn. They see it as a time of death. The anticipated fields, forests and gardens of summer alive mere months ago, now withered like the frail and sick always do at the end. Yet, this season also meant warm beds, hearty feasts and cozy times. I stretched deeply and shook myself co...
