“The Breaks in Electricity” by Shiella Chapa

Submitted to Contest #32

“When you said that we’d be breaking into the Medicinal Hall, I pictured a shit ton of people guarding the stuff. After all, it’s only in the Hall that this city’s most powerful drug, and most addictive one at that, is kept and made here. So tell me why there are barely any guards here. I brought all of my toys for a reason, y’know.” Jensen waves around his prized possession, a rifle that he’s improved over the years, in the air. I would’ve been annoyed by this behavior years ago, but at this point, I’m used to it. “I told you it would...

“Marlo's Signs” by Blue Bird

Submitted to Contest #32

Dating Marlo is a bit like dating an impaired person. An emotionally impaired person. She has these signals. And I know what you're thinking: she's a homicide detective. You're her partner, so, of course you have signals. But these are different than when we wave at each other to hide, or be quiet.These signals are reserved for when we get called onto a really intense case and it's too much for her to handle. If it's too much for her, it's generally too much for me as well. Usually the cases have to do with kids. "... We...

“Love of A Thousand Year's ” by Tammy Ivey Perry

Submitted to Contest #32

Wayne lay on the cold damp floor of the ship's wooden hull, staring up at the star's, as he had done the first night he prayed to God to send someone Special for him to love. As the loneliness that overtook him and assailed his heart tonight it was too much to bear. Thought's of the elusive phantom woman that danced across his dreams, she smelled of Lilacs and Rose's; her skin so soft that she brought him weak in the knee's as she softly caressed her finger tips across his cheek...alas a vision of Beauty with Silkin Raven Black Hair and Gree...

Okay, I know what you’re thinkin. You’re lookin at me and sayin to yourself; “This guy’s some kinda weirded out crack-head, right? Well hey, you are like so wrong; I don’t do crack, it’s not good for you. I do pure, organic weed and that’s it. I care about my body.

“Taking a Chance” by Marisa Santos

Submitted to Contest #32

I’m a high school student. My friends tell me that I need to be more outgoing, but who wants that? Honestly, I'd rather just hang out with them. We’ve all been friends since we were really young since we grew up together. I don’t have time for other people, I already have my job, school work, friends, and family and I don’t need anyone else. At school, people fear me and I like it like that. People would never mess with me since I beat up the biggest guy in school. I’m content with the way I live.The class phone rang and Mrs. J answered it. ...

“The Girl Who Knew” by Chloe Meyer

Submitted to Contest #32

My name is Gianna Shultz. I'm just your everyday average 23 year old woman...except for the fact that I'm not. I know when those around me are going to die, and I can't do anything to stop them from death. It started when I was about 7. I dreamt my mother was going to die the next day. The next day, she got in a car accident on her way home from work. Since then, I've tried to avoid getting close with anyone, especially if I knew they would die soon. Until I met Claude. I started that Saturday morning just ...

“Rubbing out Secrets” by Jay Puranik

Submitted to Contest #32

In the eighteenth century, a genie gave a certain Sultan a magic ring which, when rubbed, would force a woman’s private parts to speak, and confess all their indiscretions. In the end, the Sultan’s misuse of the ring led the genie to take it back. Two hundred years later, in Mumbai – just the other day, in fact – the same genie gave the ring to a good woman named Paula, and told her that it worked just as well on men.Here’s how all the twisted fun unfolded.Paula elbowed her way out of the crowded train. Short and skinny, the thirty-six-year-...

“Final Moments” by Charles Bowman

Submitted to Contest #32

Silas walked down the long corridor toward room K108. He was visiting Alice for the first time since she had been moved to this facility. It had taken all of his strength to come here today to face her. It wasn’t really even Alice that he was afraid of seeing, it was seeing what her condition had done to her. As Silas got closer to the door, he could remember countless Sunday dinners at the local diner down the street from their house. Alice would always order the same thing, a chicken salad sandwich with apple pie and vanilla ice crea...

“Mr Finance” by Nicole Marie

Submitted to Contest #32

Based on a true story…It was supposed to be fun. We were finally doing it, finally stepping up to be adults. We had organised what little finance we had, trawled the internet, spoken to all the 'experts' in our lives and then, we’d done it. We’d stepped over the cracked concrete and browning grass that separated the sidewalk from the yard. Triumphant, we’d smiled at the man who greeted up with his very false teeth and thinning hair and asked about a car.Soon after, sitting in the tiny demountable that passed as an office in lot of the second...

“Jeffry's Gift” by Laura Austin

Submitted to Contest #32

Jeffry watched as Lucinda pulled on her sexy tights, twisted her hair into a neat bun, and donned her bright red cape. It was going to be a long, lonely night. Since Lucinda had mysteriously developed her powers the year after graduating college, he had spent a lot of nights alone. Her super speed and strength made it easy for her to help those in need and fight crime, and although he’d initially agreed that wasting such a gift would be a tragedy, he’d regretted it ever since. He’d hoped that he would eventually get his own super...

“Home” by Unknown User

Submitted to Contest #32

I have no idea where he has brought me. This man, surprising me all the time. I knew we were a way from home but I did not realize how far away we were. My boyfriend, Ted, surprised me on this trip right before my best friend's wedding. I had to leave soon though because I was one of the head bridesmaids and I could not miss it for the world. Ted is a painter who never gets off of work. He is always creating something in his own way. I have tried to help him before but that has never worked. Our relationship is new, but it does have its faul...

Brad first met Monica a few weeks ago when he was at a party over at his friend’s house. He had just turned 20 then, a good-looking, happy and enthusiastic man enjoying life and looking for someone to live his life with. The strong attraction between them was obvious from the start and they talked, walked, ate and laughed for hours. They lived 5 minutes away from each other, they both had a daughter but still went on a few dates. Brad didn’t understand what had happened at first. But soon enough, Monica wanted a safer bet. Brad was a wi...

“The Girl Who Knew” by Amy McMahon

Submitted to Contest #32

I wake up, and I know. My parents think I’m crazy, and dramatic, and lie for attention. I can’t tell you how many times they roll their eyes when I say, “I just know.” I think they don’t want me to know. They want a normal, happy daughter, who doesn’t claim to predict things. They want another daughter like my sister, with her brilliant grades and motivations that align with theirs. It seems like a normal Tuesday, at first. I wake up, and the thought is instantly in my head, as it usually is when I have a prediction. The ...

“You Cannot Safety-Proof the World” by Karen Avizur

Submitted to Contest #32

Something tickled the edges of Katherine’s senses. Katherine turned over in her sleep, her hand brushing against her husband’s body. Her sheets twisted slightly with her as she did so, wrapping her right foot in a bit of a knot, which her subconscious got annoyed at and she shifted her foot so she was free to move. She started breathing faster as her heart sped up and her face twitched as something continued to bother her. Her psyche dissipated her dreams into oblivion before m...
