“Venenum Ad Mortem” by Hugo Millaire

Submitted to Contest #93

TW: Alcohol, drug involved deathsMia Finn, 21:28 Mia parked her car on the curb beside the house and made her way to where the loud chatter was coming from. She would have preffered to stay home and study for her math exam the next morning, but Sarah had begged her to come with, and just to get her to shut up she agreed to get one drink. But as she circled the house she couldn’t find her friend's red Subaru, a very generous gift from her parents, so she knocked on the door to it being opened by a guy she had never...

“Party Animal” by Daisy Goudan

Submitted to Contest #93

Detective Timothy O’Carter “Move to a smaller city”, they said. “There’s still interesting cases, but no gang wars, and you’ll get promoted faster”, they promised. “They” were right. But what they failed to mention was that in this smaller city, interesting didn’t begin to describe some of the cases that we dealt with. Most of them, actually, now that I think of it. My first case in this to...

“Fire on Match Street: Who Killed Adams?” by Sevv E

Submitted to Contest #93

Well, there it was. The large fire that was currently burning my house down in the middle of a thunderstorm, ironic. I thought Chelsea Adams meant figuratively when she screamed that she was on fire, but when the curtain was set ablaze, we knew something was up. Can’t believe she actually died with a lampshade on her head. Guess she found her perfect match because the lampshade was decorated with lots of nail polish and once she stumbled into Smoky Steve, who was in the middle of lighting up his fifteenth cigarette in the backyard, I guess t...

“The Last Days of Zecor: The Party” by Cara H

Submitted to Contest #93

The Party Small Voices and Grownup Glimpses The limp body of a girl in early adolescence lay supported against the massive roots of a Terqrix tree in the Okruiks Botanical Garden behind the grand palace of Os’aen, home to West Zecor’s ruling family. Her form-fitting red dress and heavy makeup made her appear older than her true age. The glamorous red pumps that matched her dress had been kicked off as she ran. The girl’s hair partially covered her distressed face. Spectral hands reached from the ground and gently caressed her shoulders, arms...

It all started at a party and I was not a party person but of course Tessa begged me to come along. So at 6:30 it all started. Tessa came home at her normal time from work and she said that she wanted to go to her friend Katherines house for the biggest party of the year so of course I was studying and said no she begged and begged and finally I caved in.She was acting like a little puppy with her bi...

“The storm” by Leslie Strom

Submitted to Contest #93

The StormI feel excitement as I look around my kitchen looking at coolers packed, bags of food filled with junk food, and a ton of booze!. I look on the kitchen island and go over my check list for the seventeenth time. I feel like a school girl excited for a first date. I can hardly contain myself of pure joy! I can hear music playing in the driveway, and the horn honk! “They’re here!” I yell at my husband for help with my bags. The girls in the car are singing to the music, laughing and wave. One of my friends had a travel mug in one ...

“Finally” by Alexandra Stone

Submitted to Contest #93

Trigger warning: mental illness and drugsThe worst part isn't the gunshot, nor was it the thud of another lifeless body. It was the blood-curdling scream of the girlfriend. It was the hair-rising smash of the bestfriend's wine glass. They were deafening.Fine, the gunshot was also deafening, but it was a good type of deafening, like an upbeat concert type of deafening, you know?Yeah, yeah, whatever. She shouldn't have brought a gun, she shouldn't have pulled the trigger, but does anybody ever think of why she brought the gun? Do they think of...

“Party!.... or not” by Hailey Barten

Submitted to Contest #93

I walk up to the booming house. Music threatens to break the seams of it. People loiter around outside, red solo cups in their hands. Some people are smoking, it drifting up into the sky, white against the dark sky. I walk past them, and one of them blows smoke in my face. It stinks. I ignore them, and pretend that they do not exist. Annoying individuals. Inside the house there are many people, dancing, and more red solo cups. Slinky dresses, and loose hair. Some people are already stumbling around. Slinky guys in the corner, staring at danc...

“Karma is a B(Jerk)” by Circus Freak

Submitted to Contest #93

It started out like any other day. I woke up bright and early, ready to take on anything the world would throw at me. I stretched my arms out to the sides and I popped my back on the headboard of my bed. The dim sunlight fluttered through my translucent curtains, giving my room a blueish glow. Most people would describe me as a raptor stretcher, I always laughed at the thought of that. After fully waking up, I got dressed in some leggings and a large T-shirt, and I then left my room. I walked down the hallway, the light in the front room ...

“At The President's Soiree” by Chris Morgan

Submitted to Contest #93

At The President’s Soiree By Stefan Markos Roderick wriggled a bit on the clammy fake leather sofa cushions, and scanned the partygoers in the room around him. A lot of familiar faces from the department, but not what he’d call friendly faces. He wasn’t here so much because he wanted to attend, as it would have been unwise not to attend. This was New Year’s Eve at the president’s home, and everybody who was anybody on campus had been invited. Not that he really felt that he was anybody. Although ...

“The End of it All” by Bethel Tessera

Submitted to Contest #93

"I'll be right!" I shouted through the loud music. She just stared at me and shook her head."Ellie, I'm coming with you." She finally said. I rolled my eyes in response, being dramatic as I always was.I sighed, wrapping my arms around hers as we went off to the bathroom. I was shocked by the line. There were too many tipsie girls for my liking."Whatcha looking at freak!" One of them pointed at me. I put my hands up in defense. "Sheesh," I whispered.I immediately felt shivers on my spine as my eyes made contact with someone that I really did ...
