“Now That's a Party” by Brooke Phillips

Submitted to Contest #93

tw: murder The red Solo cups on the table were another reminder of what was happening tonight. That and the blaring music, tables scattered with bowls of food, and bottles of who knows what on the counters. Florence diverted her attention away from where her boyfriend, Sawyer, and roommate, Blair, were singing Taylor Swift karaoke, rather poorly. She shot them a quick smile before looking back down at her favorite white t-shirt, tragically covered in marinara sauce after Blair tried cooking dinner. All it needed, luckily, was a bit of ...

“All I Wanted” by Aileen Andrews

Submitted to Contest #93

Shards of glass glistened against his temple. “Char—” He shoved her off him, turning around to snarl and spit at her feet. How dare she. A deep, dark scarlet concealed his vision like the theatre curtains after the final act. His show was over. Worthless days of performing and mutilating his own personality were over. A copper tang hung in the air, a warm discomfort. He wore makeup, blue eyeliner that had run down his cheeks, meandering like a river. Tracks were carved out in the snow of foundation and concealer, smoo...

“This is the way the party ends...” by Steve Roberts

Submitted to Contest #93

My Grandpa always said he could remember exactly where he was when Kennedy was shot. My Dad talked about where he was when the Towers came down on 9/11. I will always remember where I was the day the aliens invaded. I was at a party—more specifically, a party I wasn’t invited to, or really supposed to be at. Now, I’ll be honest, I’ve always viewed parties as a place to have fun, or more importantly, a place to meet girls. At least that was how I imagined them, since the type of people I hung out with were never invited to parties… includin...

“Room mate” by Lynel Black

Submitted to Contest #93

TW: violence, gore, cannibalism I was absent mindedly browsing an online classifieds site when I came across an interesting ad. A wholesome, nice looking Romanian girl wanting to study in my country, seeking accommodations. I did need a new room mate since the last one moved out leaving me to cough up the whole rent each month, so I answered the ad before giving it much thought. Despite warnings from friends that claimed this is probably a scam, I kept an open mind. Somehow it felt right. In a surprisingly short time, she was a...

“A Wedding in Mayhem ” by Gracie Farrar

Submitted to Contest #93

The reception just started and someone was already dead. Unfortunately for Eric, that person was him. He always found himself in awkward situations, but things got a whole lot more awkward when his heart stopped beating and he got the urge to consume human flesh. It was about the time when the bridegroom finished his toast to the packed warehouse. He missed the last few words of his new brother-in-law’s speech, but he clapped with the rest of the crowd. Daniel gestured at him with the mic. If his heart had still been working, it would have ...

“Little Beauty” by C Banubula

Submitted to Contest #93

My parent’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration in Mexico was a large affair, as we all knew it would be. The friends and relatives that had been accumulated over decades were all there. My parents had rented a huge auditorium and Mariachi bands strolled among the guests.i had had some misgivings about the whole thing so I chose not to attend. But even I was surprised to hear about the gunfight that nearly broke out at the end. Well, not completely surprised. My misgivings started when I heard that they had invited my cousin Alejandra.Aleja...

“Murder in the Dark!” by Katharine Widdows

Submitted to Contest #93

Amber wasn’t sure which came first, her internal melancholia or the sad tune she hummed to herself more and more of the time. They were certainly interlinked, and both increasing in frequency since her suspicions had been aroused. She hung up from her latest call, logged the final details into the database and took a breath. Perhaps she never should have followed James to Phoenix.The call centre lights dimmed and then went out, Amber’s monitor went blank. Her colleagues were still chatting away to callers in the dark but apart from the phone...

“The Only Way Forward Is Through” by Vivian Ackerman

Submitted to Contest #93

There was glitter on her hand. Amelia stared at it, transfixed, flexing the muscles of her thumb, watching it move back and forth. It was interesting to see, anyways. The light flickered across the glitter with her movements. It was nice that her hands still did what she told them to. With this thought in mind, Amelia stilled the light movements of her hand. She watched apathetically as the light scattered as her hands shook regardless. “Amelia?” Amelia finally tore her gaze away, glancing up from her place on the floor. She di...

“What´s in a crayfish?” by Lis Lovén

Submitted to Contest #93

It was at that god-forgotten crayfish party a long time ago. It must have been in the 80s. Lin and her boyfriend invited their friends: Jon, Linda, Thom, Alf, Birger, Bert, Monti… Only Anti could not come. Or he might have had an intuition that he could not be there. And that was it. His intuition should have to serve as a professor´s gift years after that. He must have seen it in the stars. Lin and her boyfriend just had one small room and a kitchen. Bathroom of course. And the room was crammed that day: no that evening! That evening in Aug...

“Party at Mimi's” by Martin Buckell

Submitted to Contest #93

The party was at Mimi Hilton’s place, downtown Manhattan. It was my first assignment as a rookie hack for a gossip magazine. Mimi, a New York socialite had friends in high places and loved the exposure.The party was full of people I recognised: actors, politicians, sportsmen and billionaires. Then I spotted Lola Sinclair, a model, who spent most of her career on the front pages of fashion magazines. She was standing over by the buffet table, chinwagging with Dirk Wendell, a slimeball property magnate twice her age, while I, shy thing th...

“Bees? Bees.” by Kathleen M.

Submitted to Contest #93

Dedicated to the Dungeons and Dragons group, including the warlock with her two sugar daddies (patrons), the monk whose godly parent is one of those sugar daddies, the barbarian who poked a zombie and had to amputate her own arm, and of course the dungeon master who has watched me pull off some of the worst nat 20s in Dungeons and Dragons history.***The coronation party had been going swell, if you asked the Paladin. His queen had ascended to the throne, and the gala that followed featured some of the finest music and dancing, as well as exq...
