“From Friends to Strangers ” by Potato Life

Submitted to Contest #96

From Friends to Strangers As John Green once wrote in his novel ‘Paper Towns’ “Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.” This was one of her favourite quotes, and she lived by that. This story is about that “she” you’re probably wondering about, so keep reading. In 2015, I met this stranger at a school fair, her eyes big and black, her hair long and straight. She was clad in blue denim shorts, a skin-fit white Nike ...

“Untitled 32, or: French 75” by Nikita Linivenko

Submitted to Contest #96

“The only wisdom is that wisdom is bullshit.” “Got that right.” “Who said that, do you think? – cuz’m pretty sure I’d heard that somewhere.” “Maybe you just made it up. Or you’re paraphrasing.” It had snowed all morning and into the afternoon. I was still at the station waiting for the 1:45 and it was already quarter past two. Snow fucks everything up, in the best way possible – I’d been puffing my second to last smoke down to the filter when I see this guy slipping out this door a’ the other end a the station– I assume it’s the room from...

“We Rebel” by Ruby J

Submitted to Contest #96

I stared at the wall. Cold, hard and emotionless, it stared back at me. I could feel its strength inside me, its hardness. I wished I was as cold and emotionless as it. Maybe I would be braver, stronger...happier."Watch where you stand, love." A sweet voice brushed past my ear. I spun around, startled out of my thoughts, but I only saw her moving back and the brown, curly hair bouncing on it. I watched, confused, as she made her way into the building.It hit me that I was in school. I clenched my jaw, exhaling deeply. This is absolutely no ti...

“TIME BEFORE” by Opara Chukwuebuka

Submitted to Contest #96

Saved by the Alarm as I woke up a little late for work, looking at the time, I jumped out of bed like I had a string at my back and dashed down to the bathroom slamming the door behind. On dressing myself up, my mind traveled so widly at every part of my livelihood as I thought about the future looking completely confused on my life making decisions for the best and unregrettable future as everyone wishes for. But how possible is it to have such flawless future, judging from the imperfections of our creation. I dressed my self staring at the...

“Sunshine and Rum” by Theodora Loúpe

Submitted to Contest #96

She rose up out of the ocean like a goddess, water droplets falling away like diamonds scattered around. She was one with the water, it caressed her body like a lover. She was breath taking and I couldn't believe my luck. The minute my toes buried in the sand, the sound of the surf hit my ears, I could taste the salt on my tongue. There she was. Like a starburst or a light show my eyes where drawn to her an I was mesmerized. Captivated, completely taken. Awash in sensation, every fiber of my being yearned to touch her, smell her, hear her s...

“First Kiss” by Amagara Deo

Submitted to Contest #96

Last year, on Christmas day, I and my friends —Nix, Janet and her boyfriend, Max— were having the heck out of life, we were over the moon and going after whatever wild idea our fun-hungry minds incubated. There was a lot to celebrate, we had just sat our Ordinary Level and Max, his Advanced Level exams. He was going to university, but the most celebration-worthy thing was; Max's dad had given him a car. We ate at the mighty Taste Kings, went to the park and in the afternoon we went for a movie at Oracle Theatre. Half-way the movie, at around...

“Olivia Isn't Normal (According To Them, Even Though She Is)” by Anil Smith

Submitted to Contest #96

Content warning: suicide This is a sad tale. Warning you. "Hey, uhh, Gavie?" Olivia was seventeen with dark skin the color of her brown eyes and gorgeous curls in her shiny hair. She had been withholding a secret from everyone, and even herself. "Yeah what?" Gavin, also seventeen and pretty. Orange hair and freckled, rosy cheeks. Her icy eyes were a mirror to her icy soul. It was crazy for her to be friends with Olivia, due to social rank. "This is really hard for me, Gavie. But I need to tell you. I've known this about myself for wha...

“Unlikely Friend ” by Bianca Bourgault

Submitted to Contest #96

Emma, Rachel, Megan, Brianna, Nsimba (yes that was his real name), Ricky, Jen, and Jordan. Those are the names that I remember of the nurses who took care of me for six weeks and three days at CMMC. The women and one man who took out my catheter (Megan), argued on my behalf for better pain meds (Ricky the fucking Rockstar), wiped my ass after going to the bathroom (Emma), emptied my bed pan (Nsimba), and told me to cough to bring down my fever so I could avoid going back to the ICU (Jen). And of course, the nurse who not only helped me survi...

“Flames to Dust ” by Alisha Souza

Submitted to Contest #96

“What!” she screamed, pushing back her chair, causing it topple with the momentum. “How can you even say that? Get rid of it? It’s not a piece of furniture, Silvio!” Jen couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth. The man standing before her suddenly seemed like a stranger. “How could you even think I would want this?” he snapped back. “This was supposed to be our treasure!” she yelled back, incredulously. “It would add to our beautiful life and make us.….whole.” Her flustered mind was trying to clutch at straws of reas...

“The Bet” by Becky Katsaros

Submitted to Contest #96

We laughed as the ice cream dripped from my mom’s waffle cone. She raised her cone above her head, ducking under it in a futile attempt to catch the drips.The green pistachio would wash out of her silver-streaked hair, but I wondered if it’d stain her white cotton blouse. After the Memorial Day weekend after my ninth-grade year, I never again wore white to the beach. Attempting to blot the cherry coconut ice cream hadn’t ended well. I could still hear my crush whistling and laughing at me. My stomach had clenched in dread, remembering how I’...
