“CHENNAKESAVA TEMPLE” by SHYAMALA BHUVANACHANDRAN

Submitted to Contest #71

Saraswathy was mending her flowerpots and just whiling away her time in the backyard. Though she had no regrets, she was still unhappy over her ex-boss in dismissing her from job, for no fault of hers. She could have explained her position and made them understand her point of view. Of what use would it be? It would be a futile exercise. Saraswathy strongly believed that certain people never changed. She was dismissed for preparing food in large quantity. Even if she could convince them that excess food prepared by her was mainly due to the ...

“Fiasco” by Rachel Kaufmann

Submitted to Contest #71

In retrospect we should probably have fled while the fleeing was good when Emma Jean came marching in the door brandishing a large sheet of paper about in an most eloquent manner and making enthusiastic noises. After all, we had know her for the majority of our lives and had several previous episodes to hark back to. The fact is that she was , and is, rightly famous for landing herself and anyone unwise enough to be in the immediate vicinity, in hot water on a frequent basis. Her motives are always as pure as the driven snow but somehow thin...

“Cherry Ginger” by Lydi B

Submitted to Contest #71

As soon as I spied that gradual motion of her contracting jaw, I knew Cherri was unimpressed. The flavors of the sample-size bourbon chocolate chunk cookie—the claim to fame of the newest local bakery—still moved about her mouth, but her slanted brow meant impending bombardment.Cherri hummed and leaned over the display case, on her tiptoes for maximum emphasis. “Not bad, but I could probably make better. Too sweet. Not enough chocolate chunks.”Deborah, the wrinkled and corpulent owner, shot earnest eyes straight back into Cherri’s. The women...

“Gingerbread Soldiers of Godzilla ” by S. F. Brooke

Submitted to Contest #71

“Mom….how are you going to do this?” Sixteen-year-old Katie asked. She looked at her mother in the middle of their huge kitchen, the granite countertops covered in bags of flour, cartons of eggs, jugs of milk, bags of flour, and three mixers. Katie’s mother, Maranda, looked at the mess and put her hands on her hips. “Honestly, sweetie, I have no idea.” She chuckled, “Your father dared me and now…” She waved a hand towards the ingredients. “We have this problem.” The teenager grinned as she took a picture to put on her Instagram...

“Oh how the tables turn” by Rinsha P

Submitted to Contest #71

Sam feels Nick’s naked toes nudge against his thigh. “Ew, Ni. Stop.” He glances up from the book he was reading to see that Nick was wigging his eyebrows at him, eyes glinting with mischief. He goes on to press his toes harder into Sam’s thigh. The smile on his face ten times bigger than it was a second ago. Sam couldn’t help but smile at that but no. He drew the line at smelly,ugly and dirty toes. “Get your smelly feet off me” Not that Nick’s toes were smelly or dirty. But they were kind of ugly. Aren’t all toes? Why do some people find toe...

“Biggering a Cookie” by Annie Hill

John and Max ran about in the forest seeing what they could do that day. Both children were homeschooled and were done for the day. Both of their parents hadn't bought any kind of digital device for them to play with or use. Only Max's father had a computer and that was for his work. John had two other siblings while Max was awaiting a new baby sister. John's older sister, Mary, had been trying to increase the size of her pastries. John's mom had been teaching her how to bake bigger pastries and it had been going very well. John and Max sat...

“What’s that in your hand?” Ginika asked with a frown on her face. Chinedu sneered as he lifted the transparent sachet higher so all the members of the group could see it. “It is the secret ingredient that will solve all of our problems…” he announced. Ginika didn’t know what the content of the sachet was, but she was open to receiving a miracle. *** The Alozie Community Baking Contest held at the end of each year. It was known far and wide for the marvels the many bakers within the community conjured for its outlandish contest...

“The Cookie Contest” by Robin ✿

Submitted to Contest #71

Laura sighed. She was so excited, also the same anxious. In two days the Cookie Competition was starting, and it was impossible when they said no Fairy Dust. Laura wasn't a fan of baking either, but the prize had drawn her too in. She looked at her design she drew on the paper. There was no way she could make a gingerbread on top of a gingerbread. It wasn't a cookie anyway. She had drawn a gingerbread man. The door slightly opened. A beautiful fairy stood there. ' Laura, are still thinking of the contest?' ' Oh, yes,' ' I think...

“I told you no one was going to be wearing team costumes!” Oliver whispered harshly to Kerry as the five teens walked into the big building where the competition is going to take place. They all looked at the other teams of five that had on the matching colored T-shirts while they had on elf costumes. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Anna said when she looked at each team either wearing blue T-shirts or red or any other color. The other teams that were each standing behind their own kitchen island was now staring at the new team that walked ...

“Quantum Bake-anics” by Christopher Cayen-Cyr

Submitted to Contest #71

In my young days, my ambition knew no bounds. I had dreams of achieving what the greatest physicists had failed to achieve, of finding the missing link between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Pride whispered to my left I would go down in history books as the father of a new field, joining the ranks of Newton and Einstein along the way; determination whispered to my right nothing was impossible with the right amount of talent. The greatest mysteries of the Universe were bound to reveal themselves before my very eyes one day, enlight...

Submitted to Contest #71

"I can't believe you brought me here." My voice is groggy and I'm cranky. It's 6:52 am, and I don't work well after a 3-hour sleep and without a crapload of caffeine. I kick a pebble on the pavement that disappears into the darkness. "Seriously," I continue. "We're standing in the middle of a dark street, staring at the lines of a crossway, and basically giving any Ted Bundy over here an open invitation to go to town on our defenseless selves. You think we could fight back? I have a mouse wrist, and your body has not seen physical labor like...

“Enjoy Your Garbage Cookie” by Kathleen M.

Submitted to Contest #71

The newspaper club had three students who hated each other with the type of energy only a high schooler could channel. The club consisted of Sophia, the tall, blonde popular girl, Hazel Louise, Sophia’s polar opposite, and Zachary, the one who was only in it for sports coverage of the girl’s swim team. Despite their arguments, and the fact that one of them quit every week, the newspaper was consistently churned out of the steadily breaking printer in the office and sold during lunch. The teacher in charge of the club, Mr. Garcia, was never t...
