“Mascot” by Anna Tishchenko

Submitted to Contest #93

“How on Earth did they manage to get it all the way up there?” I asked, incredulous. A stuffed elephant doll was lodged in the ceiling fan going round and round and around. I closed my eyes and shook my head, clearing the vertigo. “Vodka?” replied Suzie, before laughing and turning the switch off. &nbsp...

“Who told you it’s okay to invite five hundred people to my house?” I glared at Min Ki.The spilt drinks and dirty plates were making my blood boil.My house looked like a dumpster.And I, as a clean freak, would not allow that in my household.“Woah back up there, I didn’t invite five hundred, I invited ten!” He protested.We stood there, in front of all the mess created after the party.I began to pick up all the paper plates and cups.“What are you waiting for? Start cleaning!” I bellowed at Min Ki, somewhat in a rude way.“Ho...

“Beltane Belt” by Colin Devonshire

Submitted to Contest #93

“Okay gang, it’s three AM, time to go!” Janice shouted as she turned off the overloud hip-hop racket. “Great party, thanks,” waved the cheeky guest, Janice couldn’t place her. “Glad you enjoyed it.” “Who is that girl?” asked Podge Roberts. “I’m not sure, I think her mum is a new member?” “I guess we’ll soon find out. A good long sleep, and then our all-nighter for Beltane. Great idea we all enjoyed it, and our parents thought it was a clever plan too. A double win,” Podge said. Podge had fallen for Janice the first moment they met at last ye...

“Quod est Necessarium est Licitum” by Jacquelene Gabrielle

Submitted to Contest #93

TW: violence, murder, blood The harder Jill scrubbed, the more the crimson stain bled into the carpet. “This is never going to come out,” she sighed, leaning back and taking another swig of her whiskey. She let the warm liquid rest on her tongue, relishing the aromatic burn, Jack Daniels, her father’s favorite. “Hey now, I can’t have you drinking alone. Cheers,” her brother, Kent, called out behind her, tipping back his own glass of the same. “At least it was a killer party.” “It’s not over quite yet,” she replied, flashing him...

“Spend the Night at The Masons” by Paigelynn Sichmeller

Submitted to Contest #93

He had to admit, though the house was big, it wasn't the type of style he thought the Masons would go for. Jay thought that they would go for more of a... modern look, not the very classic, family-oriented home that he found himself in now. After waking up in a comfy, warm bed that he would never mistake for his own, shirtless and wrapped around another boy, he decided that it was a great time to look around and try to remember what exactly happened last night and where he was. That was when he ran across the picture of Mr. and Mrs. Mason wi...

“The Sibling Rivalry” by Maruš Čechová

Submitted to Contest #93

Lux Connell was just getting ready to go on holiday. Like every year he invited Ma and Pa and this time his little sister Lianna agreed to join in. She was now a grown-up woman and could get over their sibling fights. Lux never cared much for the fights once they were over and now that his sister was speaking to him again, he hoped to reunite with the sibling banter and talk about her time at university. Still, Lux hoped that his university stories would be funnier than Lianna’s. He was glad she was on the right track to finish her degree in...

“Our Year” by Veda Vivek💎

Submitted to Contest #93

Why?Why did I have to be left with Adam? The floor was littered with paper, glass, and other gunk. The party got out of hand, people throwing bottles everywhere and yelling. The glittery streamers that once adorned the room laid forgotten on the ground, shredded and muddy. The tables were smeared with stains from the wine. The room smells like sweat. The lights were flickering, making the room look haunted. Some chairs were turned upside down. The room looked like a tornado went through it. I had a plastic bag in my hand, trying to...

“Clean up Crew” by Annalisa D.

Submitted to Contest #93

Georgie really is our MVP for coming up with this special blood removal cleaning solution. I didn’t think we’d have much luck getting the blood out of all this white furniture, but it’s worked like magic. Always good to know a chemistry major. “Yo, Mikey, for real though, don’t you worry about where all this blood is from? Like what kind of party is this?” Lars asked while shoving a handful of blood-soaked paper towels into a trash bag...

“Apartment 3” by Amanda Lieser

Submitted to Contest #93

Veronica was exhausted and relieved to be returning home. She precariously balanced her white plastic bag full of Chinese take out in her left hand while she unlocked the apartment door with her right. She kicked aside an empty beer can and rolled her eyes as she made the mental note to send Tammy, the landlord, a text to complain about apartment 3 for the third time in a month. Tammy carefully opened the door and stepped into her pristine home. Ginger, her orange tabby, affectionately rubbed up on her leg as she kicked of...

“Imperfections by Jinnie” by Jinnie Levi

Submitted to Contest #93

Author's Note: Hello! This story has been a bit of a whirlwind. I just joined Reedsy two days before this is due. I wrote over two thousand words, but somehow half of it didn't save, so I has to re-write the majority of the story. It may be rushed, and it may be of poor quality, but I think I learned from this experience. Enjoy! Trigger Warnings: Minor Mentions of Alcohol abuse, subjective dialogue, etc. Lulu Stadnik, the little girl with the little bow flopping up and down in her black sea of hair. But now, little Lulu is left in th...

“cleaning up the party mess” by Pamela Berglund

Submitted to Contest #93

Sue, “...the party was great. It’s been a long time coming. I’ll speak to you tomorrow.” “I am glad you had a good time.” As my best friend Amy closed the door behind her, I looked up at my husband Andy with a triumphant smile. The party had been the first celebration since the pandemic had reared its ugly head. The house had been filled with over 25 people (the most allowed for those who had been vaccinated) and my guest list included my elderly parents, my teen children and my colleagues from work. Reality cam...

“Little Beginnings” by Chaeli Daniel

Submitted to Contest #93

I wake up infuriated after receiving a call from my boss. "You and Maria have clean-up duty," He had said. Gosh, how annoying that was, to have to clean up after some wacky kids in high school. Last night they had prom. Since I'm the principle's cousin, of course I had offered to clean. But once I entered the gym, I thought, Why oh why did I volunteer? The floor was covered with confetti and red plastic cups. Balloons had deflated to the ground and it looks like someone had sprayed graffiti on the gym floor. A pair of panties were lying in a...

The loud banging of the speaker can be heard outside the lawn of a bongalow house. A party was hosted here, but the house was empty. For the guests had left earlier.

“In Flagrante Delicto” by Sharmila Shankarkumar

Submitted to Contest #93

It was almost the exact instant Wendy gingerly picked up the red thong from between the two pillows on their bed that Phillip retrieved a white jock strap that had seen better days, from the floor. “What’s this?” said Wendy, her face sporting a scowl that would shame a monsoon cloud. She was holding the side strap of the thong between her index finger and thumb, arm outstretched, much like one might hold a worm. “What’s this?” said Phillip, raising an eyebrow, in bemusement. In a gesture mirroring his wife’s, he held the jockstrap at arm’s...
