“Art Is...Everything” by Michelle Hicks

Submitted to Contest #78

"Really all you do is take the big brush and swiftly move it back and forth across the canvas. You have to feel it, go with the motion of the ocean.", I said, quickly turning my head to hide my reddened cheeks. It's surprising that he's not very talented at painting, being that he's awesome at everything. His own words. It's probably the reason he attempted to try this out. People don't really want to learn new hobbies, or want unnecessary talents that don't benefit them. Or they just don't have time. But being open to new things is the most...

“My sister refused by invitation to "hobby"” by Judith Veder

Submitted to Contest #78

I cannot convince her, my 8 year old sister to join in my hobby- art I call it. It is early Saturday morning, maybe 10am. I am about 10, 1953. Freckles cover my face and my red curls cover the freckles and my eyes at this early hour. I have been allowed to stay in my nightie, the one trimmed with lace and flowers, the one that flares out from under my still invisible breasts. My feet are bare. I am sitting on a little stool, which my father made, and I am about 6 inches from the TV set. This is what my father wo...

“Liz's Escapades ” by Maria Yiannakis

Submitted to Contest #78

Liz would not keep quiet about getting her mother to join her in her lessons. Liz had been a lost soul, and her mother knew it. She partly blamed herself of always indulging Liz in whatever she wanted. She had the means to, so why not? Well, that is how she used to think. Now, looking back, Margret could see the error of her ways, and how it could have been much worse. Margaret had not been born into high society like some of her social circle. She had married into it. She had married for convenience rather than for a passionate, cri...

“Hunting Enjoyment” by Ryan Kim

Submitted to Contest #78

"Hey Jerry!" Ben exclaimed, "Want to enter this robotics competition with me?" Jerry was getting ready to catch up to his friends to ride the bus home. He turned around to see Ben standing behind him with a wide, toothy smile. Ben was the type that made middle school boys come after him. He was a geek, skinny, short, and talked in a high-pitched voice that made him sound 4 years younger. Jerry snorted. "You think I would want to do that? Might as well just write 'loser' on my forehead." Ben was completely oblivious to the fact that Jerry was...

“Astronomical Turbulence” by Neermita Bhattacharya

Submitted to Contest #78

Plu looked at me sideways.“What would you like to do in your free time?” I asked.“A hobby?” he shrugged his shoulders. He glanced behind me where the most ‘powerful’ gang in the school stood. “I like to be them. That’s my hobby.”I turned my back. “Oh, those guys who keep revolving around Sir?”“Not only revolution; they have power. They have a name. Everybody knows them. Everybody trusts them.”“You trust me?” I smirked.“Sure. I know you’ll always be there around me.”"Hm, I guess it's a hobby? You should always strive to be the best in the sys...

“When he Asked His friend to take up his Hobby” by Shams Afif Siddiqi

Submitted to Contest #78

SHAMS AFIF SIDDIQI‘‘Life sometimes leads you to a precipice,’ Zahid spoke like a philosopher though he was actually a realist. ‘You need not tumble down,’ he smiled at his young friend sitting on the other side of the table. ‘I will tell you how to cope with it. It will work.’ He frantically looked for the waiter over the innumerable heads walking through the aisle of the sprawling café hall. He was abnormally tall and looked tough like iron. People loved to see his physique; ...

“Tragic” by Tommy Fernandez

Submitted to Contest #78

"C'mon, it'll take your mind off of things." Sabrina nudged Jacky's shoulder, a smile spreading painfully across her face. They had been walking around town all day, talking about all the ways Jacky might have a chance at getting another boyfriend. Scoping out boys on the side of the road while eating melting chocolate isn't exactly Sabrina's idea of a "perfect day," though."I'm just not that interested in that kind of stuff. I told you I've tried it before, haven't I?" Jacky shook her head and smiled, lacing her fingers together with Sabrin...

“The Joy of Knitting” by Nimi Kurian

Submitted to Contest #78

The Joy of Knitting By Nimi Kurian Aalia had recently discovered the joys of knitting. Now she could not stop. She knitted all the time – while watching television, eating, sometimes even in bed. When invited to coffee mornings or parties, she brought along her knitting. It was getting tiresome to see her balance her needles and wine glass while extolling the virtues of her recently acquired hobby. “Aalia has become quite the bore hasn’t she?” asked Shirley, Aalia’s neighbour. She bore the brunt of the monologues. Shirley and Munira w...

“Business Venture ” by Kay Swenn

Submitted to Contest #78

The day I found a letter in my mailbox addressed to me by Finley Scott was not one I thought I would ever see again. My old friend had vanished while we were in college and I hadn’t seen him for at least seven years at that point. The envelope was brown and reminded me of deli paper, it had been wrapped with twine and sealed with a wax stamp which detailed an ornate ‘S’ on it. It was odd considering I hadn’t quite pegged Fin to be the romantic writer, but who was I to judge the man I’d assumed dead for nearly a decade? Excitedly, I we...

“LESSONS FOR THE TEACHER” by Claire Tennant

Submitted to Contest #78

The day had arrived. My job on this day required skill, nerves of steel, determination and the ability to be myself. As I stood touching up my makeup, going over the topic, checking for spots on my clothes, not that I could have done much about that; I acknowledged that I was nervous. Leaving the ladies room, I had one of two options; I could push on knowing I was well prepared and risk not doing as well as I hoped, or I could give up entirely, and would definitely fail. More than that, it would be a lost opportunity, an...

“Mean, Green Suckers” by Kassidy Christon

Submitted to Contest #78

Lucas thought his friends, and teacher, were joking when they said Mr. Howard Alcott volunteered to be a chaperone on their field trip to Pure Pine National Park; Mr.Alcott's ideal trip is visiting an art museum, not getting his shoes dirty outside. He said so himself two weeks ago.Pure Pine National Park is a popular tourist attraction in upper Wisconsin; the place is more beautiful in the springtime. That's when the vibrant flowers bloom, the leaves on the trees are greener than ever and the fresh smell of the river dances in people's nost...

“Full Plate” by Taylor Crehan

Submitted to Contest #78

Steven was briskly walking ahead of me, gripping his two reusable bags in one firm hand. Trips to the grocery store with him were calculated. There were no impulse purchases allowed. “Why waste money when you can focus on what you really need and have a great, savory meal?” He would repeat when my wandering eyes would fixate on things like potato chips or chocolate milk. Steven was a great cook. His kitchen was his safe haven, each trip to the store for ingredients a pilgrimage. I didn’t accompany him often, because I could only take s...

“Vicissitudes” by Vibes Blossom

Submitted to Contest #78

TW: Suicidal ideation Adrian flinched again and again as Joana jerked the car and drove deliriously. “Joana”, Adrian began cautiously, “Where are we going?” His disheveled and disturbed hair sprung up and down frenziedly. “Wait for it. It will come to you. I promise.” Joana said diplomatically, with a dull hue. “Uh, okay.” Adrian’s ‘a tilt towards right’, ‘traffic light are green’ and other such inputs were omnipresent. The car zoomed impressively along the wave of the street, swaying and revamping in style, and the whol...
