“Hallucinations ” by Matt Render

Submitted to Contest #63

Apparently, Michael was seeing things. At least, that was one of the many rumours about him going around Cloverlawn Collegiate. One student’s mother, who had a psychology degree, informed him that Michael had taken so much LSD, he suffered a mental lapse and had experienced hallucinations and severe delusions ever since. Another person heard that Michael had attempted suicide, and then prescribed mood stabilizers so heavy that he had lost grips with reality. Some blamed his parents who were both big city lawyers and p...

“Life beyond apples” by Teresa Sullivan

“Ok, to be honest, this is like, super old fashioned.” “To be honest, I really don’t care.” “Yeah, that’s kinda obvious. Technically though, you should, because like...life.” “Life? What the heck? What does that even mean?” “If you want to get anywhere in life, then you’re going to have to be a put together person who can at least portray themselves as a normal modern human being.” “And by listening to the latest music you’re going to become the CEO of Microsoft? I don’t think so.” “Well, is apple picking going ...

“A sweet taste of Companionship.” by Looking For Inspiration

Submitted to Contest #63

It was the beginning of October and the fall season was just beginning, and I was happy from seeing and smelling all things fall which is my favorite time of year. I was apple picking today at a local orchard and was enjoying my time in the sun there was a good group of people today just enjoying the weather and helping the orchard. One of my favorite things to do during this holiday is to learn new skills and things. So, choosing apple picking as my first activity on my list for this season was a good thing. I had just finished up another b...

We always pick the green apples first. We go out of the cottage together with our rough straw woven baskets. Most of the straw has already loosened and is falling off, and the handle has already thinned so much that it rubs lines in my hand whenever I carry it.All of the straw has changed colour, from light gold to caramel brown, and at the edges of the basket, the edges that have been bumped and hit against stones and tree bark for as long as I can remember, dark brown spots have appeared.We walk and into our garden. The green apples a...

“Oops” by C Alexis McGregor

Submitted to Contest #63

Phillipa and Roy whizzed on their way to this weekend date event: apple orchard adventure. As if they starred in a reality programme, each Saturday and Sunday involved their car, credit cards, and a plethora of social media documentation. Once acclamation rushed in from their legion of nameless fans. With the music floating out of their convertible coupe, two travel mugs full of soy lattes, and Phillipa's golden tresses protected from the wind's fingers in her Hermes scarf, how perfect this morning began. Blossoms Vineyard signage raised the...

“Bitter Suite” by L.B Rinker

Submitted to Contest #63

A blue convertible cruises down the interstate. Beer cans tied to the bumper rattle wildly together in the wind. The “Just Married” bannister that had once been taped to the rear windshield was in a ditch somewhere between the car, and the fifty miles of road behind it. Inside the car the newly-weds, Ashlynn and Robert, sing along to the radio, still wearing their tuxedo and gown. “WHERE ARE WE GOING?!” Ashlynn demands. “I’m your WIFE now! You have to tell me EVERYTHING!” She insists playfully. Robert smiles and shakes his head, not taking h...

“Our Apple Tree” by Carlos Mendoza

Submitted to Contest #63

A small girl clings to a wall at her elementary school, a couple of her fingers play with a hole in her sweater. She watches a group of boys run by, her leg twitches as if it had a mind of its own. Her eyes jump up and down with the girls playing hopscotch. Thick red and yellow leaves camouflaged the playground. The boys use them as masks, and planes. Meanwhile, the girls cover them with piles of woodchips, serving them as pancakes or a chocolate cake. The little girl felt a plate of warm scrambled eggs in front her face . Boys and girls swi...

Her heartbeat went up a notch. She took her first tentative yet defiant steps. Together they marched across the perfect meadow, heading towards the fenced off orchard. The power of her excitement bowled over her trepidation and revived her undaunted spirit. Words started pouring out."So this fruit garden you're taking me to, why aren't we allowed to go there? Is it something we should be worried about? Your sure he won't mind? You know it's funny, but I feel fine about this, even though it isn't exactly permitted... Tell me again why we're d...

“"Empire Apple"” by Juliana Cooper

Submitted to Contest #63

Nostalgia. Jumping on my trampoline in my backyard left me feeling nostalgic. I felt like a child again. No worries. Just jumping and laughing to myself. It sounds sad and even lonely but it really wasn't for the first time in a long time, I felt comfortable being by myself. Moving is a scary thing to do, especially when you have nobody to comfort you physically. Sure, I have my parents but that's it. My brothers are already gone and moved out. I don't have someone who will be there with me and who understands the pain of being the new kid....

“Red, Yellow and Blue--Not a Fall Color” by Christine Hungerford

Submitted to Contest #63

We hurtled ourselves from the minivan to the groves of apples glistening in the bright sun. My younger sister, Rabbit, sprinted behind me as I beckoned her to hurry up. While she stopped just short of me, I saw a really juicy apple I thought would be great for the apple pie I was making tonight for one of our relative’s birthdays. I plucked it and held it down for Rabbit to examine. She looked at it and smiled up at me. &nbs...

“Mama” by Alex Greason

Jenny was just barely able to walk by the time we took her apple picking. She had, for the time being been able to muster up a few words here and there. ”ball” was her favourite. We threw a ball to our dog, Max in a field fraught with the corpses of once vibrant green leaves, now a crisp, dead brown. I sipped my coffee, not sure whether the warmth in my stomach was from the temperature of the drink, or the slight caffeine anxiety creeping up because I just couldn’t handle it like I used to. Bobby flashed me a smile as...

“Falling Fruit” by Sarah Bowden

Submitted to Contest #63

He kept picking up apples from the scrubby grass, taking a single bite, and then tossing them back into the dirt under the trees.“That’s rotting fruit,” she reminded him for the millionth time.“They’re fallen apples,” he said for the millionth time. “No one is going to eat them just because they touched the ground. But they tugged themselves off the branches because they’re ripe.”She shrugged with absolute neutrality. This was meant to be a fun day out, not a fight or a nag.“I’m going to pay for whatever we actually pick, Alana.”She scanned ...

“Infinite Orchard” by Rachel Bacon

“I’ve never had an apple before.” She reached up with one pearly white hand and plucked a crimson orb from the tree. The shine on the skin glistened as she examined it. For as far as she would see there were lines of trees reaching into oblivion, each with gleaming apples hanging from their branches. High in the sky above them, a warm sun shined gently upon the leaves. She looked back at her father, Elijah Wilts, who was standing back under the shade of a nearby tree. He nodded, “Go on, Jamila, collect some.” Jamila hesitantly placed the ap...
