“Any Other. ” by Jazmin Edwards

Submitted to Contest #43

7:00AM. The day started like any other.Andi wakes up to get breakfast started. She turns over and gives Danny a kiss on the cheek. As she’s getting up, she feels a slight, playful tug on her arm. “5 more minutes…stay in bed with me,” Danny smirks with his eyes still closed. Andi chuckles. “I have to start on breakfast and wake Jenny up.” “Jenny sleeping for 5 more minutes won’t hurt anyone.” He smirks again, pulling his wife deeper into the bed. Laughing, she maneuvers his arms off of her and heads to the bathroom. “6 ...

Submitted to Contest #43

Ava looked around the huge flower bed for a tiny space to plant the lily seedling in her hand. Her love for gardening was passed down with her mommy’s gene. Whenever the kids her age played in the parks, she quietly squatted around the garden, tending to the plants. When the vulnerable baby flowers that are unable to survive without someone’s care grow up to stand tall and proud, she feels a sense of accomplishment. However, her emotions did not stem solely from the satisfaction of seeing them grow, it's the attachment she felt towards them....

Submitted to Contest #43

"Daddy! Daddy!" a small boy in an oversized black jacket screamed as he attempted to climb onto my father's coffin in the church. A lady who was dressed in a very tight black dress with matching high heel shoes grabbed his hand and pulled him down. She looked like a movie star who didn't remember which role she was supposed to play and her heavy make-up was smeared as she sobbed in her handkerchief. The boy was about 6, thin and short with dark brown skin and big, bright eyes that constantly filled up with tears and ran over like the water f...

“The signature” by Arianna Zanini

Submitted to Contest #43

“Martinelli for the last time: you pronounce Kierkeg-"oo"-rd, not Kierkeg-"aa"-rd! If I hear you say it wrong at the final exam be certain to lose two marks on my behalf.”“Professor it’s the foreign language fault: I am Italian and used to pronounce things the way they are written. It’s already impossible to understand this philosophical thinking, and now this dutch block even makes it hard to understand his name!” thundered Richard, sitting in the last bench of the classroom and intent upon snapping the marker cap, as if aiming at Kierkegar...
