“MOTHER NATURE'S GIFT” by Gospel Wilson

Submitted to Contest #63

The streets of Lefa were flooded with it’s inhabitants both strangers and citizens as they all hurriedly ran passed each other for safety at the sound of the heavy storm, everyone was terrified. The streets knew no peace, young and old wished the storm was just a nightmare. How cloudy was the atmosphere, darkness covered the city, hearts of men skipped frequently as thunder and lightning frightened all with it’s hilarious sounds as if on a mission to kill someone. Families got...

“SAVOR” by Tyler Miclean

Submitted to Contest #63

SAVOR By Tyler Miclean Tom was waiting for Ruth to sit down at the coffee table before he said anything. She crossed the kitchen to the cupboard and got out a mug. Tom was a statue, but his eyes followed her around the kitchen. Ruth filled her mug and came over to the table to set it down. She pulled her chair back, dragging it loudly on the wood floor, and plopped herself down. She gave a little performance, sighing dramatically, to make light of her creaky, step by step, morning routine Tom took in a deep breath and...

“In Bittersweet Spirits” by M. Montoya

Submitted to Contest #63

At John Wiliker's Orchard, the apples are bitter and sour as the wind. At John Wiliker's Orchard, the hayrides are short and the workers are dreary as the drooping leaves on the trees. At John Wiliker's Orchard, there are two apple cider stands, and neither of them are particularly enjoyable. There are only two reasons why the establishment receives visitors year after year, one, their apple fritters, which seem to completely contradict the taste of the apples themselves, and two, the ghosts in the red delicious orchard. James has never li...

“The Dance of the Great Hornet Queen” by Vincent Charles

Submitted to Contest #63

The Dance of the Great Hornet Queen You can see them with singular focus as they move through the air lilting with the warm September breeze. Each one is returning from a personal mission gathering bounty to bestow at the feet of their glorious summer queen. And for her, they will dance until their heats weaken but for only their their comrades may know the source of such joy. And in those moments they are truly nature’s beauty. A great and constant cacophony of humming emits from their mighty fortress high in a tree amongst a field...

“Fruit From the Source” by Sandy Buxton

Submitted to Contest #63

The ancient AMC Rambler bumped along the rough sod between the rows of apple trees. The warm smell of the orchard, sweet and fruity mixed with the clean grass scent filled the air as Edith and Agnes opened the doors with a creak. The two women stood looking across the field before turning to get their wooden apple boxes out of the car. Their flowered cotton dresses were covered by serviceable aprons with deep pockets. The dresses looked like ones their mother or grandmother wore while working at home...

“Of Death and Apples” by Internet Friend

Submitted to Contest #63

It was nice outside. Cool. Crisp. The night air was a welcome change from the musty apartment building. Leaning against the balcony railing, Rose lit a cigarette from a pack she’d found a while ago. She didn’t smoke, but enjoyed the feeling of something warm in between her chilly fingers. Autumn was in full swing, with the trees shedding brown, orange, red and yellow leaves. It was nice to see on whatever excursions she took during the week, but the cold was quickly settling in. She'd have to get a jacket soon. Turning her attention to the c...

“Autumnal ” by Jacelyn Herondale

Submitted to Contest #63

The court was adorned with a carpet of citrine leaves. Neither the basketball, nor Aranya’s feet missed any chance of crunching the fallen. The roads parallel were almost quiet, except those occasional motors that teleported by. Leaves often lunged for his cedar hair, but were denied stay by his consistent leaps and sprints. Aranya randomly glanced at the empty road, and saw someone crossing it, typing something on her phone. “Adhere to road safety rules, señora. The way’s not safe.” He called out. Startled, the female looked up. Hasty...

“A Perfect Fall Memory” by Kayli Dunlap

Submitted to Contest #63

The leaves finally changed colors, yellow, orange, red, brown. The air felt cool and crisp. This season is my favorite time of the year. The weather is perfect and it’s the best time to go out and do autumn things. For instance I get to take my beautiful girl to an orchard, I know it's her favorite thing to do because she talks about it all year long. It’s my favorite thing to do with her in the fall because I love the look on her face when we get there and it takes her fifteen minutes just to pick out the perfect pumpkin for us to carve. Sh...

“A scent of a fresh apple.” by Andrea Abear

Submitted to Contest #63

One scent can bring lots of memories.I have a few memorize scents that make me remember certain events or situations, especially in those times where I found myself walking down the busy streets of Canada.A simple scent of the strong aroma of cocoa with mallows on top, matched with a scent of fresh-baked cookies, reminds me of the days where I usually spent my afternoons inside my favorite coffee shop; scents where I always find my comfort every time I was on the edge of the oblivion. Scents where I always find my comfort and peace during th...
