Six...The streetlamp the girl had previously observed gave a final long flicker of light before completely shutting off, leaving the girl encased in the darkness. But the girl barely noticed, and so she sat down, continuing to wait.Seven... Eight... Nine...“I knew you would come,” the girl whispered, knowing that even in...

“Anpanman...” by Imane Sah.

I awoke, my feet cold under the sheets. The room was strangely quiet as I slipped out of bed and looked out the window. I saw the world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and started for the back door. "Today, I will walk through my snow-covered yard" I screamed. I stopped at the door, silently watching the snow fall. The tiny ice crystals drifted peacefully down from the sky, coveri...

Mystery laughed and told Lloyd she was going to go to the bathroom, then left down the hallway.“So. what made you want to leave the room.” Cole asked him.“Uh. Bored I guess.”“Bored?” Nya said with a frown, dire...

“Power of Prayer” by Emily Nghiem

“Olivia!” I scolded my Godmother. “Next time, call me like anyone else. Please!”Strangling her was not an option. Unless I wanted her to flip the SUV and kill both of us.“There was no place to park -” She protested. “I just prayed to God to tell you I arrived. And He did!” “By setting off every car alarm in the parking lot?" As we turned the corner, I sank in my seat, utterly embarrassed. I glanced back to see the entire law office arguing outside, fumbling with car keys to silenc...

“Is it from your heart?” by Moonchild Luca

"AAAAAAARGH!"Irving's ears pricked up. Who was that?His eyes scanned the whole area, unsettled. They finally rested on a small person dangling from a ladder which was propped near a shelf too high for him. Irving's breathing, which had suddenly hitched up, slowed down. He strode over to the boy, who seemed to be praying for dear life."Need me to give a hand?" he asked. The boy nodded vigorously, eyes tightly shut.Irving extended his arms and lifted the boy and put him down on the floor. "Next time you need help...

“Shade of purple ” by Anja Z

Trigger warning: violence and domestic abuseShe pulled up her purple hoodie and revealed the most sensational yet terrifying eyes. Once she saw me looking at her as if I'm studying her she shy-ed away and began to put her hoodie back on. “No don’t, it’s just I have never seen someone with those eyes before.” She looked up and gave me a snarky reply “Those eyes? Is that supposed to make me feel better?&rd...

“Of Scrubs And Screws” by Sayujyaraj Ghimire

You put on the light and illuminate the view-box. The transparent plastic-like-paper film displays some radio-opaque and radio-lucent shadows. You observe the film very meticulously fathoming the urgency of the case. You press the electronic-buzzer immediately that lies underneath your desk and call the on-duty medical officer, in order to prepare the patient for surgery.An elder man, in his mid-fifties, hailing from a remote village of Kailali, presents to the emergency ward with an open distal tibia fracture on his...

“The Hero” by Daniella Cressman

Luisa was having trouble paying her rent, so I chipped in a pretty penny to help her out. Tyson, the college dropout who wanted to be a basketball player, had no money at all but he needed a lot of equipment to make his dreams come true, so I bought him some basketball shorts and a basketball hat and paid for summer trainings for him. I figured I’d do good anywhere I could. I soon discovered, as...

“anjela” by Masha Kurbatova

“I’m not very good at talking about this stuff. So. Nevermind.’’ She buries her face in the pillow. I mean, I’m very good at talking about it either, but I wish she would at least make an effort. Aren’t poets supposed to put their feelings into words? I can’t tell if she’s actually asleep or faking it. Sometimes she’s so still, I worry she’s died. I squint in the dark, stare at her belly, make sure it st...

“Questions and Answers” by ℝ𝕠𝕤𝕖 𝔹𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕝𝕖𝕪

Every sibling relationship varies. In children’s stories you read of a picture-perfect duo that either fights crime or goes on a simplistic adventure where they bond and love each other with Philia (deep friendship). In young adult’s books siblings fight each other almost to death or they reluctantly band together to defeat a villain and eventually grow to create a flawless and (again) perfect relationship. Do you see the repeating fact? Hurt, climax, love and happily perfect ever after. This is true of most stories. ...

“When a Saint Comes Marching In” by Kathleen March

We all know, or know about, someone who always comes to the aid of others. Some of us could name several people, even. I could definitely tell the story of either of my parents, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear some sentimental drivel about them. The description would be accurate, but nobody would find their sacrifices and generosity all that interesting, except me. Mostly nobody remembers them now, anyway, which ...

“She's Some Sort of Hero” by Reagan B.

Everybody leaves eventually, he thought. Everyone but her. She stuck around, but why? Rebecca Benett didn’t stand out, there was nothing special about her. She didn’t possess any supernatural abilities or superpowers, yet she was a hero in her own right. “Hey Jake! How are you?” a twinkly, feminine voice called out above the noise of his thoughts. Her...

“Nightborn 4” by Harken Void

She sat in darkness, listening to the falling of water drops. Their gentle splatters reverberated like crushing thunder in the small room, where no other sound but her own sobs and those goddamn drops came. Tap, tap, tap. Rachel was beyond fear and terror. She was even beyond hysteria. There was just nothing left, all the tears shed from her eyes and all the air screamed from her lungs, making her throat sore. She...
