Nobody noticed Jake's absence during the English class in the only college in the city. Jake loved technology. So, he took the computer science stream. Mrs. Norwich, the English lecturer for the class, had switched on the television in the class when a college staff member came and whispered something. She was a tall, young woman with black hair and large spectacles.The news flashed,"The Big Jumper is having another encounter with the Trapshot"."Wow!", shouted the excited students. The Big Jumper was a hero in th...

“Flight to Death” by 𝕂𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕒 𝕊𝕥𝕠𝕟𝕖

Submitted on 07/19/2020

She hid in the thorny bushes, her skin burning but was unable to crawl out. Her nose suddenly became itchy, so she carefully moved her head toward her wrist, which was touching a spider web. She couldn’t move anything else, though. She must keep quiet.Lara hung her head lower — bad move. Her hair-covered head was pricked with a sharp-edged thorn. She resisted the urge to scream, scrunching up her face with tight jaws.Before she knew it, a small bird l...

“Rebel Prince” by Aᥱrιᥒ B. 🌈

Submitted on 07/21/2020

I just didn’t get it. Like, at all. I mean, I tried to understand the thought process of everyone in Tyala—my father especially—but I always wound up in the same place: 100% confuzzled. Okay? So sue me for not understanding why everything anybody ever wanted was to be plain and normal. To fit in. I’m not going to do some big speech, or sing some big song like Bell...

“Chaos is a Friend of Mine: Part Four” by Rhondalise Mitza

Submitted on 07/17/2020

Ochd. I woke up. “Hey.” I looked up. No one was there that I could see. “Hey.” Where was I? There was someone who was still trying to talk to me but they were too far away and there were miles and miles of my head saying what are they saying and I couldn’t think straight anymore. “I see you waki...

“Emerge From The Ashes” by Jn Park

Submitted on 07/20/2020

Who am I?I think, staring at the pearl-white waves of the emerald ocean. I do not know. Some say I am a Phoenix. A Phoenix, like any other ones, who rose from ashes.When two Phoenixes fall in love, one of their hearts (Phoenixes have seven hearts in total) burn so badly that they become ashes. When the two ashes meet together, a fire rises and it becomes a newborn Phoenix.Some fires are too tiny and weak that the wind blows them away before they can begin their life...

“Smart Alec” by 𝕍𝕒𝕪𝕕 𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕤𝕙

Submitted on 07/22/2020

A man sat at the bar, clutching a pitcher of ice-cold beer slightly clumsily, causing the beer to slosh around and spill on his arms and the wooden bar table.He lifted it to his lips and sipped some of the drink. It was a malt beer, and he carefully noticed its flavours, bitter with some sweet and floral notes.The bartender polished glasses, smiling unironically all the while.Another man sat at the bar, enjoying a Bourbon whiskey on the rocks. He looked over at the other man, who was a...

“The Downfall of Miguel-Michel Hernandez” by Sarah Freeman

Submitted on 07/22/2020

Miguel-Michel Hernandez, or MM as he liked to be called, had a power. A superpower, one might call it. His power was that he was always, always able to escape. The nineteen-year-old knew this, and took advantage of it as much as he could. He performed daredevil stunts because he knew there was no way for him to fail. He even committed crimes that would’ve landed him a lifetime of confinement—but, obviously, he escaped. MM w...

“#The Chosen One#” by Abigail Slimzy

Submitted on 07/18/2020

Supernatural power is a gift that anyone could wish to have. In the land of Olamili, it was known that the inhabitants were terrorized and haunted by the invaders from neighbouring lands. The king, Igwe Ugodibua was known for his firmness and justice. The villagers lived in total fear of the unknown. At sunset, men of the land in their numbers start running home to protect their wives, children and yam barns. They were all known for their hardworking and strong zeal. The invaders were always at alert to get what they wanted without the pe...

“Einstein's Other Theory” by Deborah Mercer

Submitted on 07/23/2020

What do you think would be the Number One choice of superpower? Oh yes, most of us think it could be both fascinating and useful, not to mention thrilling to be able to fly, and the benefits of being invisible are – not the most appropriate of expressions! – glaringly obvious. Or perhaps not as paradoxical as it seems – did you know that during World War 2 they camouflaged ships by something called “dazzling”? ...

“My Unique Superhero Experience” by Corey Melin

Submitted on 07/19/2020

Susan is trapped and didn’t have a clue about what to do. In front of her is a villain that towered over her, with an evil looking expression on his scruffy face. His jet black hair is stiffened into spikes so he looked like a porcupine, and his face pierced in numerous locations with studs. He wore dark coveralls and what looked like metal gloves that went up to his elbows. He wore jet-powered boots, which exp...

“The Nightmare Warriors” by ⋆∽orenda ∽⋆

Submitted on 07/22/2020

With a glass full of chill vodka in one hand and a doraemon pen in the other, Wren stares at the ever so puzzling math problems lying in front of her.I do be regretting my college choices. She scribbles some anime figures on the surface of her desk, fills in a few random numbers in the blanks on the paper, texts her friends and after awhile, throws her hands into the air as if surrendering to the questions.“Why don’t you solve your own problems, eh?” And with that, she pushes ...

“Cody Bannister, Unsung Superhero” by Emilie Scarchilli

Submitted on 07/20/2020

From the outside, 582 Gambit Lane did not look like the home of a superhero—not even the home of a superhero’s secret underground hideaway. The neighborhood boys thought it was mysterious enough for at least half a Batcave, but 582 Gambit Lane was simply the home of the large Bannister family—Mr. Bannister, Mrs. Bannister, all seven children from Arnold down to Maisie, and Trixie, the golden doodle who somehow turned out chocolate brown.Aside from their unusual size, the Bannister family was quite ordinary. Mr. and Mrs. Bannister r...

“All Moms with Superpowers ❤️” by Pooja Sarmalkar

Submitted on 07/19/2020

Superman received powers from the sun, and Batman bought his powers with family money. I never would have expected to know these facts in my single days, but now I have two boys—one who is almost four and obsessed with anything “super.” It’s strange to think that to him I am hugely powerful. I ’m the person that solves mysteries, fights his battles and heals his wounds with a kiss. Insti...

“I” by Harken Void

Submitted on 07/23/2020

I can control people’s minds. Freaky, right? I can have complete and utter control over what people think, what they do, and what they say. I can make them feel what I want them to feel, make them believe what I want them to believe and I can do it all without them even noticing me. That includes you. You are under my control. Right now, I am running your life. And you have no idea I’m ...

“"GOT THE SUPERPOWER LOVE I ALWAYS WANTED"” by Swati Sharma

Submitted on 07/18/2020

The Secret changed my life and I am abundantly grateful for the life I am living now. Several years ago, I had been married to an emotionally abusive man. I had a job that required me to have a partner, and I had one permanently assigned to me. Once we got to know each other, I realized that my work partner would have been my perfect partner in life, the ...
