“The Release of a Sunset” by Morgan Douglas

Submitted to Contest #99

It had been too long since Tracy had gone outside to truly take in the beauty of the sunset. So, after coaxing herself outside she looked at it as it was setting in the west. In fact, it had been years. During those years spent inside day in and day out, she kept to herself, locked away from all that she was afraid of. Her agoraphobia had set in right after her teenage son was killed while they were walking to the coast. The investigation into his death had gone nowhere and neither did she. The attempts her friends made to help her cope and ...

“Girl Wendy's Fan” by Edgar Diamondclaw

Submitted to Contest #99

Lord sweet child, it is too damn early for these VAPORS! Wendy thought to herself with a smile as she clicked on her handheld mini fan, the kind with water in the handle that could be spritzed on the irradiated target. She held it inches from her face, taking in the room around her:I got my kitchen - check. I got my wakeup joejoe (iced joejoe today) - check. I got my light blue wallpaper with that cute little morning glow - check. I have my window view - check.....And I'm 35 today.... fuuuuuuuuuck. Check me OUT!Wendy tried to have a mindful ...

“RED SKY IN THE MORNING” by Claire Tennant

Submitted to Contest #99

It was a red sky morning; I was deeply disturbed, but could not identify the reason why. Looking out of the window, I stared at the black images against the red; fence posts, a palm tree or two, and the old church still in use but not what the ‘moderns’ would want; too bad for them. The silhouette of the fine old building was enough to calm me a little, despite the frustration inside. At least it, the red sky, was not a bushfire warning. We had enough on our plates, without the devastation of fire. I remembered them of old.&nb...

“GOING BACK ” by Esther Stephen

Submitted to Contest #99

The sky was extra orange as the sun crest and rise on the horizon. I confess this was the best sunrise I had ever witnessed. It was like by some kind of miracle the sun was encouraging me to start the journey I had to embark on. Everything came to life to announce the beginning of new day, bird chirps and fly away to start their daily routine. I stood there looking at the sky until it turns beautiful blue, then I climbed down from the hill and walked towards my cabin. In the cabin I took my duffle bag and head out, after I had locked the cab...

“Blink” by A Raye

Submitted to Contest #99

Blink once. Waves lap quietly against the rocks. Blink twice. Waves lap quietly against the rocks. Sarah watched the waves, listening to the pattern they sung as they lapped against the rocks in the ocean. She was the only person on the beach. She ran her fingers through the cold sand and watched as it seeped through the cracks between her fingers, still listening to the waves. This was her safe place. Her sanctuary. Her home away from home, providing comfort and solace, even when she no longer needed it. She couldn’t recall how many n...

“A Game of Hangman I will never forget” by MN1022021 JERRICK NG YONG YI

Submitted to Contest #99

In front of me was a beautiful sunrise. The celestial fireball in the sky shone brighter then ever in the vast blue sky and it was 6 in the morning. Today was the start of summer break and the best thing is that none of my parents were at home as ty had went for a vacation. As I lay down in the grass, staring at the magnolia white clouds in the sky trying to figure out what they resembled, Jim whom I had been waiting for finally arrived. "Hey Tom, get in and let's start playing. Don't waste time because today is a perfect day!" As I tru...

“The Long Dark Before the Sun” by Adelaide Kirby

Submitted to Contest #99

It is the last time we’ll see the sun for 41 days. We watch it dip below the horizon as we string coloured glass beads to hang in the windows. These are our guardians during the long dark. My little sister whimpers on the bed and I scoop her into a cuddle. She asks when the wolves will come. My mother tells us stories of before the wolves, when the long dark was just cold and sunless, but survivable outside our huts. They used to light the paths with candles sheltered within jars and pushed into the snow to keep them upright. She told us t...

“A NEW SUNRISE” by Nirmala Nababsing

Submitted to Contest #99

A NEW SUNRISE The view is awe-inspiring. The sky is tinted grey and white with shades of orange, giving it a fiery glow. The silvery soft waves are adorned by a glimmer of the auburn sun light. The sea water gently washes the sand, with a mellifluous sound. The sun is slowly fading, as if it is being absorbed by the ocean, allowing a mantle darkness to cover the ocean. The beach is almost deserted, except for few persons, scattered along the far-reaching stretch of sand. They have been lingering around, to catch a glimpse o...

“ONE OF THOSE DAYS” by V Sage

Submitted to Contest #99

For as long as she can remember, Elea has always loved the sunset. She would go sit on their house perimeter wall when she was in primary school and enjoy how the colors would play in the sky. The houses in the neighborhood would seem like shadow figures and it would remind her of the closing credit of a movie. But today the sunset was like a ticking time bomb. The further down it went the more she felt like her world was about to come to an end. An exaggeration true, but the ride on the back of the motorcycle was heavily supporting her prem...

“Sunset” by Raj Lakshmi Dube

Submitted to Contest #99

Sunset Shiela was sitting on the beach watching the setting sun. The color of the ball of fire was slowly changing, from yellow to burnt orange and then to the color of champagne. The sun’s light was reflected on the sea the shimmering colors playing hide and seek in the waves. She kept on staring at the sea through her tears, to her it looked like blood and brought back memories. Two decades previously she and her husband had decided to take a holiday at a seaside resort. Since her marriage to John, they had not enjoyed a holiday...

“The Morphing Manipulators” by Lee Kendrick

Submitted to Contest #99

The Morphing Manipulators A terrific bright light lit up my bedroom as I slept in bed. It was a summer sunrise around 6.a.m. I should've drawn the curtains before going to bed. But, wait a moment! I never draw the curtains before bed, because I’m up twenty-two storeys. More importantly, there never Is a sunrise on this side of my flat anyway. Just how can this be? The sun always rises on the other side of my flat, where the living room is, northeast. And my bedroom is in the northwest d...

“Meeting the Sunrise” by R K

Submitted to Contest #99

This morning, it was the dog who rose first, squinted his eyes at the sun, and returned to his bed at the east end of the house. Then, the familiar smell of the coffee brewing on time in the kitchen, the shuffling of feet to the bathroom, and the sound of talking in the living room all seemed routine. He felt the pull to leave his bed and sit near her feet when he heard her move to the couch, but then, the overwhelming feeling of rest and the need for comfort kept him in place in the curve of his bed. Sounds around him were sl...

“An extraordinarily beautiful morning” by M. A. Shepherd

Submitted to Contest #99

At first, it was only an ominous idea of a glow in the distance, a faint feeling of discomfort which started as a tight knot in the very bottom left corner of his stomach. It was the presage of greater evil, the beginning of what was to come. As the silky darkness began to recede, Dan closed his eyes for a moment and shuddered with fearful anticipation. The process started slowly, almost untraceable at first, like a drop of poison spreading through a sluggishly pulsing blood stream, until the harsh reality could no longer be ignored. Tin...
