“The Silence of Noise” by Zoe Agu

Submitted to Contest #93

Our house was always full of noise. I can’t recall a single memory where someone wasn’t running around laughing, or when the kitchen wasn’t full of children asking what was for dinner. The walls were coated in the sounds of our voices.Our house was also full of love. It seeped through the cracks in the floors and spilled onto the carpet. My mother digs holes in our hearts and fills them with flowers. Even our utensils have been touched with the type of kindness that leaves a physical trace. Tonight though our house is silent. The walls ...

“Birthday Blues.” by Patricia Green

Submitted to Contest #93

Sarah dreamt about holidaying in the South of France. The warm sun shone down on her as she lay on the golden sand -----“OUCH!” Sarah jumped up, as the large black cat jumped down from the couch. “Did you just claw me Missy?” That’s not very nice, you bad girl!” “Oh my God my head is about to burst! Someone find me the Panadol, quick!” Then she realised where she was. She had just woken up on the couch in the lounge room, with the midday sun streaming through the large bay window. Sarah heard a scraping noise behind the couch, she jum...

“Clean-up Crew” by Lisa Wentworth

Submitted to Contest #93

Write your story about two characters tidying up after a party. You never knew what to expect during one of these parties, but you knew Buffet Laura would be there, and to expect the unexpected. This was a small town full of eccentrics, and Buffet Laura was sure to be anywhere that free food was available, and stick her hands in everything. Although wiser from the past few events she had thrown, Pat had several of her colleagues watch BL and give her the food rather than let her serve it, yet she still managed to get into the recycling...

“Scared” by Jessie Hunnie

Submitted to Contest #93

I read somewhere that the words we say and the emotions we felt are real when it’s three in the morning. Which is why I am terrified when I am helping Cassie clean up after a party. I feel like I could crumble if she mentions anything remotely sensitive and that I would burst into a mess if she pushed the right buttons. I stiffen up when Cassie traces her fingers on this old piano we used to play with when we were young, and I remember thinking about how slender and pretty her fingers were. Cassie is my best friend of eight years; she is som...

“The After Prom” by Ananya N

Submitted to Contest #93

On second thought, I shouldn't have used that much confetti, I thought to myself as I was sweeping all those tiny striped papers from the wooden floor. The good thing was that the celebration was a huge success. Everything went smoothly with no exceptions. My chain of thoughts was disturbed by the echoing sound of footsteps in the gym. I looked up to see a girl dressed in a large black hoodie and leggings. Even though she's isn't very different from me except for her height, something about her makes her seem small. She seems familia...

“Fairy Land” by Robin ✿

Submitted to Contest #93

Laura sighed. Last night, they had a birthday party for their youngest sister, Lisa. Now there was a big mess in the room the three children slept in, the eldest one, Laura, the middle, Ella, and finally the last one, Lisa. Ella grabbed the balloons hung everywhere. Laura collected all the toys and books on the ground. ' Come Lisa, help us. You can clear off the food on the table.' ' I don't want to help,' Lisa moaned, relaxing on the bed, and reading some random things from her phone. ' And I am the youngest,' ' So?' Lau...

“It Came from the Bathroom” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #93

“Bruh, what is this?” I didn’t like how the purple and green sludge wobbled as I poked it with my mop. Kevin poked his head into the bathroom door and looked at the disgusting liquid for a good solid minute. The previous night our parents were out of town and my brother and I decided to hold a party. Mad it was wild! After the party ended, my brother and I spent the whole morning cleaning up the house so our parents would suspect us. We had gotten everything clean except for the bathroom which had some funky purple and green blob la...

“Buried under the colour red” by Carmen Villafranca

Submitted to Contest #93

The party has come to an end. A couple is sitting on a green couch. Renee and Alex. They both stop hugging. Then one of them proceeds to put music, "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson starts playing; the volume, 85 decibels, as loud as the human ears can handle. They should tidy up before morning.Red plastic cups, all over the fraternity's floor. There's toilet paper everywhere but the washroom; condoms stuck inside the sink, a ball full of toothpaste on the microwave, and goat's excrement inside the living room's top drawer. A few books on...

“The Afterparty” by Brandon Adams

Submitted to Contest #93

If friends are people who warn you away from bad ideas, Terry was rich in acquaintances. He held the door open for the last uninvited guest, who stumbled through the threshold and ate concrete as he missed the front step. Terry hesitated before stepping out to help the groaning classmate upright. “You good man?” Terry asked, reaching down to help. He pulled hard when he felt a hand clasp his own, yanking the prone partygoer to his feet and steadying him as he found his balance. “‘Preciate it,” the older boy said as he dabbed his lower lip ...

“Cold Pizza” by Chris D

Submitted to Contest #93

How many people does it take to make a party? You can go to the greasy spoon up the street and they ask how many people are in your party. Usually she says one, and the waiter giggles when he says "Lorenza, party for one," because they're at the age where anything remotely sexual is hysterical, and their co-worker bussing tables laughs along. Some days she gets to say two, when Bridget tags along. She wishes that Bridget would tag along more often. Except she has this thing called a life, where she has after school clubs, swimming and ...

“Red Cups” by Jax S

Submitted to Contest #93

Bright colored lights flashed through the room from smart bulbs, controlled by someone’s phone. Music boomed through Bluetooth speakers set up around the house. A phone was passed from person to person, as they each added songs to the Spotify queue. A folding table covered in a dollar store plastic tablecloth was pushed against the wall. Plastic bowls of chips, plastic cups, and a box of cheap wine sat upon it. A cooler sat next to it, filled with beer and Whiteclaws. Drunken damsels slumped onto armchairs and couches, only to be picked up b...

“A morning of high spirits” by Kolja Kuijpers

Submitted to Contest #93

The sun already at the highest point, its light pierces through the three-meter-tall windows and illuminates the corridor. The air feels dry, not a single speck of the joyous atmosphere from yesterday remains. The guests seem to have vanished overnight leaving behind a maze of half-empty wine bottles and half-full beer cans.A single presence fills the hallway. Carefully traversing the labyrinth of alcohol, it is intrigued by a unique object. At the base of one of the windows, a place devoid of any history lies a single red high heel shoe. Cu...
