“The secret encounter” by Blake Johnson

Submitted to Contest #52

I’m already so late! I grab my coat, papers, keys, and phone before bolting out the door. I look down at the time and realize I have exactly twelve minutes to make it. I can make it, but it might be pretty close, damn. I start my walkout briskly, trying to make up for the time I had lost to myself not hearing my alarm go off. I am on my way to an extremely important meeting with two people who may help my dreams come true. Finally being in control of myself and my own business. I’ve waited so long for this meeting I just couldn’t believe it ...

“THE VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE ” by Nnachetam Stanislaus

Submitted to Contest #52

THE VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE Some days are born great, while some days are monstrous. If I can think of anything or days worst ever in my life, some days in March, 2019, serve the worst. Three hefty men on gray suit approached me as I came out of my house that morning, around 10 a.m. and surrounded me. Twisted my hand vigorously at my back, and clicked in a handcuff on my hands. “Young man, you know what you did and how it happened.You have every right to remain silent for anything you say, will be used against you in the court of law. Now mo...

“The Snap” by Ethan Lynn

Submitted to Contest #52

It all started when I was visiting my family for spring break. I don’t even know how it started, it just kind of happened. One second I was there, sitting on the soft sofa, and the next I wasn’t.We had been talking about heading to the amusement park a short drive away. I had an idea for one of the rides we could bring my younger sibling on, and opened my mouth to share it with my family. A split second later, everything was gone. The sofa I was sitting on disappeared from beneath me, making me fall on my back end, and I was momentarily blin...

“i would've preferred the bullet” by Taylor Pastore

Submitted to Contest #52

"Elle Thanatos." I turned around, hearing my name. The wind was whistling in my ears, cold and ominous. I was heading back to my apartment after a long shift of work, so exhausted I could barely keep my eyes open. Nonetheless, I pushed forward, letting the cold air and bright lights keep me awake. Until I heard that voice and turned around to see two burly men, heading closer and closer to me. Their figures in the dark looked threatening, quickening their pace before I could notice. They wore gray designer suits, caucasian males with...

“Sweet Vengeance” by Colleen Lee

Submitted to Contest #52

The world seems to slow down as I wait for the hands of time to move forward. I felt a surge of impatience every time I hear the time ticking from the worn out clock that has always been there since I started my freshman year three years ago. The same clock which students from all levels despise looking at because time is a social construct and everyone is tired of that shitty concept. Everyone just wants to go home. The homeroom was filled with students of different personalities: with first-row benchers being the most attentive and parti...

“The Perfect Cluster! ” by Sheryl Reddy

Submitted to Contest #52

"Wait a second, where are you taking me?" These men two of them had a hold of both my arms and were leading me to god knows where. "You know what you did" one of the big gentleman said. I retaliated, "No I don't actually!" After giving them a little fight, I realized it was useless. I didn't need to fight them. I know I have done nothing wrong, as I searched through my memory box. Making sure I wasn't mean to anyone and did something, I wasn't supposed to do. The two men led me to a black cadillac, the new limo kind. Wait why was I thinking ...

“You Know What You Did” by Monica Chaddick

Submitted to Contest #52

It was a typical night for Derrick. He had come in from work, made a drink, and turned on the television. The news came on – nothing new there. Just more of the same old blah blah blah. The doorbell rang just as Derrick was making his second drink. “Well, shit.” He muttered under his breath. “Now who the hell is that?” Derrick opened the door, complet...

“Unforseen Event” by Cheyenne Niel

Submitted to Contest #52

I glance over at the clock. 11:59PM. Any second now it will strike 12. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Still 11:59. 1! 1! 1! The clock hits 12. "First try." It was clearly not actually my first try, but only I knew that. I sigh with sorrow and head into the bathroom. Usually, I would hop into a cold shower, but today I felt like I needed a hot bath with some classical tunes. I take my clothes off and turn the faucet on. "OUCH!" I adjust the temperature to be a little cooler. Should I add the bubbles? I take the bottle of bath bubbles from un...

“NICK OF TIME” by Shrisha Rananaware

Submitted to Contest #52

My family and friends on my doorstep hugging and kissing me is all I wanted for my birthday. It sucks living in a country where you don't have anyone. I was starting to question myself why in the first place I was in London. Rebelling against my family seems stupid to me now. I think I should take into consideration quitting this job of my dream and leave London. I am a fun-loving person who loves her friends and family the most. Each birthday of mine is full of surprises, parties, and lots of fun, but for the last 5 years, my birthday just ...

“It All Started With A Threat” by Esosa A._

Submitted to Contest #52

I never knew my life could change because of one silly mistake made in my past. It all started 5 years ago; when my life was well... mine I guess. It would have never changed if I didn't meet him. My life was a pretty remarkable one; regardless the fact that my father was rich, I really never wanted to build my name under his. If I had a choice, I would have used my Mother's name since she was no longer with us. It would have been a whole new beginning for me. Once she passed a way, my Dad lost himself, he started to abuse me both physically...

“The Doom-Book” by Ian Wilson

Submitted to Contest #52

I sat in the back seat of the dark sedan, hands cuffed, as the grey-suited men drove in silence to an unknown destination. “You will come with us!” they had said as they cuffed me in the market. “You know what you did!” Except I didn’t know. The men never introduced themselves, I never saw a badge, an identity card, or anything to indicate who they were. All I knew was that they were both very imposing, standing at least six feet tall, with broad shoulders, and military haircuts. Who were these men? What did they want me for? I was merely a ...

“Victim ” by Izzy Murphy

Submitted to Contest #52

The beep of the scanning till wakes me from my daydream. After scanning the last item: a pot noodle, the woman says “£10.50” in a halfhearted voice before turning her attention back to her vibrating phone and slowly blowing a large bubble with her bubble gum. I thank her and grab my shopping which is almost falling out of the crappy plastic bag. After managing to grab the bag with one hand I hand her the money made up of pound coins and pennies. she gives me a almost disgusted look. I sigh and explain “I’m a little short on cash at the minut...

“Do you think acting dumb and pretending like you don’t know anything will save you Mark?” “I’m not acting dumb; I really don’t know anything” “Why did you agree to come with us if you didn’t do it?” “I – I don’t know, you guys never really gave me an option, I had no room for refusing” “That’s nonsense! You could have” “Have you seen the two of you?” “Just tell us where you hid it and we’ll let you go Mark, I promise” “Hid what?” “The world is counting on what you helped those guys take” Silence. “What exactly is the thing that you guys thi...

“I didn’t do nothin’! ” by M K

Submitted to Contest #52

There I was walking down the street where I was just about to let a fart loose after walking through a crowded sidewalk when these two overtowering men in gray suits start walking next to me. I tried to stay calm and unfazed, but the next thing I know they grab my arms and tell me, to go with them. That they know what I did. Brothers, I don’t even know what I did! I exclaimed, “what the hell did I do? I literally have been sleeping all week.“ I asked when this thing I did happened. No answer. I asked them who they worked for. No answer. I as...
