“The Identical Performer ” by Aarshia Ray

Somehow, last year, I hadn’t been quite keen to attend the Christmas Party for Musicians. Maybe, I wanted it to be a quiet Christmas, just with my family. Maybe I wanted to call some old friends over. Maybe I wanted to go to a holiday to some tropical region. Point was, I didn’t want to attend the party, and there was no specific reason for it. My brain told me to deny and that was what I decided. When Frank had calle...

“The Bass Drummer” by ✯𝐋𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫✯

Title: The Bass Drummer Author: Haripriya Author's Note: Hello everyone! I wish you all a happy Sunday! In this story, I didn't really have many things to include, so it is kind of short. But I felt that this prompt was also really interesting because I was pondering about why they only chose a drummer to be the main character in the prompt, so that got me...

“Dreams” by Kylie Wallis

Bianca Hawthorne loved music. Ever since she was a little girl, she always turned up the volume on either the radio or TV and danced along to whatever was playing. She wasn't all that fond of country songs, but there were a few exceptions. Her favorite type of music was pop rock.She could watch programs like MTV for hours. She scribbled lyrics on paper. Melodies were always churning around in her head. For her 15th birthday, her parents bought her a drum kit. From then onwards, she was hooked. She had enthusiasm and even...

“The End... A long holiday” by Sahana Karthik

Authors Note:Hi readers... this is written in second person. Please check out my friend @Ana Govindasamy's stories. They are really good. Thanks for all the support Ana!I hope you like it. Also, are you interested in mathematics? Let me know in the comments- today, 22nd December, is S. Ramanujan's birthday... he created a magic square which is my favourite out of all his work. And I like Hardy-Ramanujan number. There's also a film called "The Man Who Knew Infinity" which is about his life.

“Faded” by Aman Fatima

Alex, Noah, Nathan and Daniel stood in the middle of their hotel room around the center table where their invitation lay untouched. They hadn’t planned to go to the party since they would be leaving the city in 5 hours but their flight got canceled at the last moment. Now all four of them were stuck here in their hotel, nowhere to go and nothing to go. Alex grabbed the invitation and headed to the nearest sofa to take a ...

“Memories to Remember” by Lone Wolf

“I-Is this the door for the musicians?” I asked the bulky security guard. “Yes, what do you need in there, scumbag?” “I was called in for an audition.” “Who else knows that you are here?” “Well, s-sir, I have no parents and very little money, but I was walking down the street and saw a flyer that said, ‘Calling all musicians! We need you to come on down to Riley’s Studio to perform a Christma...

“Then She Smiled At Me” by Paula Chapman

I hadn’t played the drums in at least five years. I’d focused on my engineering career, which I was certain would take off. Subsequently, I took a job as a project manager with a company whose specialty was drone technology. And they’d promised me my career would take off, along with the drones. It wasn’t really clear to me the day I’d been invited to a holiday work party ...

“Weakness” by Black Raven

"You kill them all, you get my respect. Mess up and end up dead. Got it, Elijah?" Andrea had said. This had been his opportunity, the chance to show her that he was worth it. Now, though, he was awaiting trial. He had failed. Nothing could save him. At least, that's what he thought... {2 days before, on Christmas Eve} 'The Four Hours of Agape' that's what he called the time he had to kill...

“Bret The Drummer Man” by Daniel Hayes

It was Christmas Eve, and The Wildcats were getting ready to put on their annual Christmas concert. Bret played the drums and he hated this time of year. Why did he hate Christmas you ask? Well, you see in previous concerts he had to play the solo drum part in the song Little Drummer Boy. It’s not that he was bad, but he was the best, he played that part so well it made him a local legend. Everywhere he went people compl...

“The little drummer boy.” by Alex Jackson

"Um... Hi," I say awkwardly in the doorway. "Hi." the tall man says to me. "M-my name's Dasher I'm here for the holiday party with my band." I smile and pull out my small drum set "hehe Yeeeah" the man motions toward the door and looks me up and down "How old are you kid?" he asks "Uhh... I'm umm... fourteen m-my boyfriend is in the band, he's the lead singer." he nods and turns back towards the door I look around every...

“Grandpa's Little Helper” by Karen Mcdermott

I pressed the doorbell and saluted to the camera I knew was watching me. There was a muffled crackling noise and then I heard Grandpa say “Rosalyn! I’m so glad you could make it. Come find me in the kitchen.” He was the only one who still called me that name. Everyone at school, even the teachers, calls me Murphy, because I remind people of that dead actress who was in Clueless, Brittany Murphy. ...

“Mrs Grinch” by Sincerely Cezlie

Twas the night before Christmas, all was silent, all was nice until the Drummer Girl gave it some spice. Holly dropped her drum sticks onto the floor and let out a tired sigh. Her face felt patchy with the amounts of makeup that she wore was now melting away. She was here now in a place she called Home. The secrets were now unravelled, the doors all opened. Her heart ached for more. Holly wasn’t the type ...

“The Clickity Clangingest Pulsator (Dedicated to Richie Johnson)” by Stephanie Jeannot

You know how I get when live music is blaring through the room? I am on an emotional level and nothing can compare to it.I know everything is going to be alright when the band starts playing and so I felt as if being invited to share music on Christmas Eve for a party for the symphony orchestra of Harlem, was like a bridge to better days. I knew that I would be feeling magic moments in each and every song; especially with Richie banging out some forceful cries on his drums. He stands out from all t...

“For One Night Only” by Petina Strohmer

The Christmas bells joined the choirs of carol singers and once again, he materialized out of star dust. He watched his small but strong body reform; powerful kicking legs and calloused hands he knew he was seeing again through big brown eyes. Although he understood that he was not actually alive and that this manifestation was only temporary, he loved this one special night of the year. People said t...
