“The Time-Travelers” by Mariana Russell

Submitted to Contest #43

"Hello!" I waved to Arianne. She waved back and headed in the building.I walked into my classroom to be greeted by my teacher, Miss Stafford. "Hello!" I greeted her."Good Morning," she answered. "Have a seat, please, Elisa. We are going to do something very special today." I thought she looked very pretty in her silk, flower dress, and blue flats. As soon as the class got settled down, Miss Stafford started to describe what we would do today."Students! Today we are going to meet our idols! Our role models! Our heroes!" she gets very exc...

“The Visitor” by Emma Cooper

Submitted to Contest #43

It was just another average boring day in the Blake household. Dad had left early for work and Mum was stressed out trying to get all us kids ready for school. With a mouthful of toast, as well as trying to get my younger brothers ready, she screamed at me to get dressed. I didn't want to go to school, not today anyway, I knew the teacher had another boring spelling test planned and I hated spelling tests. I begged and pleaded with her to let me stay at home but all my pleas were in vain as she gave me that look which I knew meant she was ...

“Benny the Beetle Needed a Needle. ” by Edward S.

Submitted to Contest #43

Benny the Beetle liked to help people. People liked Benny and Benny liked them. Benny helped people because people were friends. Willy the Weasel knew Benny the Beetle because they had played and were friends. Willie the Weasel liked Benny the Beetle and played with him again and again. They did things together like music and dance, and it was dancing that ripped Willy's pants. Willy went silly and jumped into splits, Benny the Beetle had heard the loud RRRIP. "What was that?" Asked Benny, upon hearing the noise."It was my pan...

“My Childhood Maid, Petra” by Steven Pittaro

Submitted to Contest #43

Gideon was about to start his third of four final papers when the doorbell rang. Probably for someone else in the house, he thinks. Matt, his roommate, goes to the door, and looks out the peephole. “Yo, Gid, it’s for you!”Gideon gets up and sprints over from his room to the hallway, and then starts walking at a socially acceptable pace to the door. He looks through the peephole, and opens the door as fast as he can.“Petra!” He yells. Behind the door, a blue, wrinkled pterodactyl stands. Her wings are folded in around her front...

“The Lover's Diary” by Namya Malik

Submitted to Contest #43

The white masked the house, seemingly as if it was made from it. The garden outside was beyond remembrance, it looked as the paradise perfect for snow gaming. The street was deserted ,even my neighbour's dog had stopped barking (and that he never did!) The deadliest of the winters were there after all! You might be wondering why I haven't introduced myself. O well all right it's all my pleasure.

“Frequency” by E S

Submitted to Contest #43

A life shattering ice storm rocked the city of Chicago. It was January 8, 2019. I remember that day better than any—the day my mom died, the day my life changed forever. I curl up on the leather cushions, adjusting my hot pink headphones. The sweet nostalgic beats carry me away to a safe place, a place where no problems exist. I rock back and forth, struggling to forget that day, trying not to relive the anguish. I ease my eyes shut, holding back the tears ready to drench my cheeks. Waves of color bounce up and down beneath my eyel...

“A Sudden Visitor” by Lily Simmons

It was a normal Saturday and Grace, Agnes, and Clara were sitting in three comfy chairs by the fire. They had the whole day planned out, They were going to relax, maybe read a book or two. Clara had stood up and looked at her sisters. “Would you like a cup of tea?” She asked. “Sure, but please make it the good kind this time. I did not like the kind of tea you made last time.” Agnes said, still staring at her book. “Fine, I guess I will have some tea.” Grace replied while looking at her father from out the window. Clara had brought bac...

“One Day” by Dennis Müller

Submitted to Contest #43

She was standing in the garage entrance, her angled finger gently tapping on the wooden frame. He turned round to see a tall woman with long, curly hair wearing a blue cotton hoodie and ripped jeans. She had baby blue eyes, wide open, giving her a sense of attentiveness that she coupled with an amiably smiling face looking straight at him. She was beautiful. “Hey,” she said waving her right hand in a swift motion, and they were off.She was walking beside him, telling him about her job. The pathway was covered in leaves illuminated by the bar...

“Life During A Pandemic” by Kami Ruiz

Submitted to Contest #43

It began like any other day, really. He was awakened earlier than normal by the dog, wanting to go out for its morning pee and eager to be fed breakfast. After taking care of the pups’ needs, he ritualistically made the bed, brushed his teeth, and splashed water on his face to wash away the sleepiness. After pulling his legs and arms into some form of clothing attire appropriate for walking the dog, he silently leashed her and set out for some exercise. The birds were singing their usual tunes and there was a slight b...

“SURPRISE!” by Naomii O.

Submitted to Contest #43

Happy birthday, Son!My head is spinning, and I’m trembling with fear. I had been longing for this day to come, but it has brought me nothing but anxiety. The house is filled with familiar and unfamiliar faces. Children running across the room with a smile plastered on their faces, balloons hanging on each corners of the room and my ex-husband, standing beside Paxton, my son, next to a parent I recognized to be Mrs Hilda who lives two blocks away from here.Happy birthday, son. I’ve been rehearsing these lines before I walked through the ...

“Cali Cat ” by Chelsea Peseller

Submitted to Contest #43

Another day in this boring square home. The walls colors don’t excite me no more. The rugs that once warmed the souls of my paws, now are hard and uncomfortable to even walk upon for a mere second. I still sit watching the outside world either on the large new bay window or the back door (when I am allowed upstairs that is). Nothing is happening and I have grown weary of waiting for some kind of adventure to happen, but nothing! I cross another day off in my calendar. Days have been passing slower than a snail. Another bleak day in a melanch...

“Kayla Wayla” by Ash Dior

Submitted to Contest #43

Kayla was super excited to spend the whole day with her mother. It was Saturday, her favorite day of the week because it was the weekend and weekends are the days which her mother was off from work. She couldn't wait until her mother would come up the steps with the plans for the day. It was only 7 in the morning so she knew that her mother was still asleep. Before she got up to brush her teeth and pick out her clothes Kayla laid in the bed for a moment and gazed out the window. She heard birds chirping and the wind was rustling the leaves...
