“Unlikely” by Blane Britt

Submitted to Contest #43

I met Ota Benga while skiing in the slopes at Ecole du ski Francis ESF Isola 2000 in the alps. It was strange seeing a 4 foot 3 inch pygmy skiing instructor. I too looked strange as a 6 foot 9 inch 382 pound professional wrestler who goes by the name of Doctor Savage. The two of us bonded right away and have been best friends for over 20 years now.The first thing I asked him long ago is how did he ever learn to ski. Isn’t it virtually true that all Pygmy people are hunters and gatherers, practicing neither agriculture nor cattle raising? Did...

“Graffiti ” by Ania A

Submitted to Contest #43

Red and blue swam in Dallas’s vision, and sirens blared loudly in her ears. Truly Dallas didn’t know how she ended up in this situation as she was pushed into the back of a cop car with her best friend, Luka. “I told you this was a bad idea!” Dallas hissed while frantically trying to rub the yellow spray paint off her sweater. Luka simply snorted and gave her a bored yet amused expression. “Relax, it’s not that big of a deal. We’ll just call your sister to bail us out. Stop panicking.” Dallas groaned at her blasé attitude and s...

Submitted to Contest #43

“Bye mum! I’ll be back before dinner. Love ya” Skittles the pelican cried as he opened the door. “Love you” his mum hollowed back from the kitchen. Skittles flew through the door and took flight to Phillip Island. As he arrived at the Nobbies, he saw his penguin friends happily as they ran about, played and nursed the new borns. “Hey guys!” said Skittles as he landed. Everyone came rushing over, as they said hello and waved. Kippy, his oldest friend came rushing over to give him a wing bump. “Hey Kip!” cried Skittles. The kids came rush...

“Breaking All Barriers” by Ronda Everson

Submitted to Contest #43

I was an American university professor in S. Korea. I had a lot of dealings in the international office. I came to see the man in charge in there one day, and he was gone. Sitting in his waiting area, there was a very small dark skinned boy with straight black hair, black eyes, and a very pleasant face. He seemed so lonely. He was out of place. I could tell he was very young and a long way from home. He wasn't Korean, and I had no idea where he was from. I asked him if he had seen my Korean friend who ran the office, Jaec...

“Free the Toad!” by J. H. Wollum

Submitted to Contest #43

The squirrel jumped from tree branch to tree branch. He was looking for that special tree, the one that had been cut down many years ago. Left behind was the very bottom of the tree- a hollow, but bendy sort of stump. One might even say it looks a bit like a slide at a playground. Except this slide does not get hot and burn little legs when the sun has been out for too long and someone tries to slide down it. Ah ha! There it was! This slide ...

“Funeral or Farce?” by Angela Morrissey

Submitted to Contest #43

Gypsy-Lee was busting to go to the toilet. She always was. That’s what you got when you had a weak bladder. She peered through the window of the toilets at the Whispering Oaks funeral home and caught a sight she didn’t expect to see. A young man was in nothing but his white jocks! She took a step back. What was going on? There was another young man with him as well. He was blond unlike the first man who had dark, layered locks with a long fringe. The blond man opened the door and told her they were changing into their ...

“Inseparable ” by Juliet Pope

Submitted to Contest #43

I was minding my own business as I walked out of art class, when all of a sudden some girl walked up to me. Her name was Elise but everyone called her Liz. She was popular and everyone knew her, yet not everyone liked her. I looked at her weird, there was no reason for her to come up to me. No one ever did. My school is one of those cliche schools. We separated ourselves into cliques. I happened to be known as the loner of the school and I liked it that way. Ever since my mom died 2 years ago, I shut myself away from everyone and everything....

“Poe's Lucky Day” by Kylie Graybill

Submitted to Contest #43

As a bolt of lightning struck its final blow unto a tree in Manhattan, Poe whizzed through the air to escape his nest just in time. The strike tore into his home of twigs and sticks and split the birch tree it was nestled on cleanly in half. Poe whistled a sigh of relief through his beak and soared higher into the sky. Well, he considered, at least a storm means fresh meat! He wasn't even thinking about the fact that his home had just been destroyed (birds tend to be very single-minded). He circled down toward Central Park and landed gently ...

“Story - Volume 2” by Earvin Eugene

Submitted to Contest #43

StoryVolume 2By Earvin Phillip EugeneNew Chapter Friends always introduce you to new aspects of life. Their hobbies become your interests. Bonding through shared experiences is a great topic of discussion. One friend “Ray” has the habit of entertaining ladies of the night. He takes pleasure in searching through a catalog of women and starting a fun chat. Let’s say slim women are his taste; all other characteristics seem to be secondary. They send back and forth reassuring messages to set a time and place. The whole process seems efficient. M...

“AN UNFRIENDLY FRIEND” by Techrockiez Tamil

Submitted to Contest #43

AN UNFRIENDLY FRIENDIt was 2015 when I moved to an international school. Yes, all of us know there would be a lot of cultural differences a child studying in 5th standard to suddenly move from a CBSE school to an international school have to face. All of it happened to me too, being a guy who does not care about technology, fashion, and other overrated things followed by the international culture followed by my country people. The first day of my new school was a total disaster where I didn’t engage myself with the whole class or show ...

“The Lion and the Lamb” by Seowon Kim

Submitted to Contest #43

Some people will call them the lion and the lamb. Others are not so nice, and will say worse names behind their backs. They will never be more than friends, never be more than companions. Everyone will talk about it, will talk about them, but everyone won't matter to the lion or the lamb.The sun will always be low on the horizon when they meet. Each day after school, after work, the lion will arrive at the nursing home to visit the lamb. Each day, he'll be holding something different in his hands. Monday, a phone manual. I don't need a newfa...
