“His Mandy and her Derek” by Marte Van Der Linden

Submitted to Contest #40

Sometimes you see a person and you just know. Half your mind is busy setting off fireworks while the other half is dancing around, shouting: “That there is your new best friend!”Sometimes you can even understand why. It might be the fact that they’re reading your favourite book on the train, or that they have green hair and don’t give a damn about the weird looks people give them.What drew Sir Fluff to his new best friend was not her pirate boots or the ray gun in her belt, but the fact that she looked as real to him as any of the twenty-nin...

“Where the Sea meets the Sunset” by Neha Dubhashi

Submitted to Contest #40

Under the weeping Willow, where the moss meets the river and the stones dance in harmony, a boy sits. I’ve seen him in that spot for the past two weeks. The only reason I’m intrigued by him is because that's my spot. Everybody in the neighborhood knows that. Even the village bullies wouldn't ever dare step a foot into my little pocket of solitude. “The santre will curse you,” they say. Santre. Witch. “She’ll grind your bones into potion seasoning and gulp your blood down like summer lemonade.”I purse my lips tightly and dispel the soft, cloy...

“Strange Friendship; Familiar Ordeal” by Ndekwoh Ojen

Submitted to Contest #40

She sits there again today; on one of the steps of the pedestrian bridge, as she has done for the past two weeks I started coming here. It’s exactly the same spot she sits as though she has been told sitting on that spot would make life change its countenance from the wicked frown she has always known, to at least a smile, not a laugh. She wasn’t asking too much.Everyday, she succeeds in distracting me in particular, maybe because I allow myself to pay some attention to her or something. As I jog up and down the steps, she would look keenly ...

“The Girl and The Man” by ℤ ℍ☮️

Submitted to Contest #40

"The girl" was misfortuned enough to be called "the girl". She sat in her mundane tower all day, looking out of an opaque window. That's how she would escape. When she stared out dreamily she could see the dewy speckled grass and the swaying birch ribbon. She could see the snowy peaks that opened a gateway to the yolky sun every evening. The waxy flowers that were nestled in the undergrowth sung to her and she smiled back delightfully. Everything outside her world of greys was lavender and hazy and golden and misty.When the velvety blanket o...

“Charlie and Claire, BFF” by AL Paradiso

Charlie and Claire, BFF“My mom, Claire, asked me to read this to her special friends on this dark and special day. Knowing her, as you must, you can expect some embarrassing revelations. Here is her letter.”“Running wildly with our puppies, we two six-year-old strangers collided hard in the park. From giddy smiles under blue skies, my world became a swirl of white cloud-green grass-brown dirt and screaming moms.

“And yeah, final words. There is a Pokémon gym just around the corner.”The crowd was in splits as Mihir sat down. From across the long table, Mandy grinned at him, nodding his head.Mandy’s mind flew back to the first year of college, when his eighteen year old self was being forced by one of his friends to attend a party.“Mandy, come on! Don’t be such a stick in the mud! Everyone will be there! Who knows, you might meet someone interesting!”Mandy, a short boy with dark black hair and equally dark eyes had groaned.“I don’t want to! I am not i...

We gotta bring water backbefore we go into battle.”Johnny Redman and Jeremiah Goldman gathered all the canteens from the their company, in hopes of filling the canteens with water.

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Saras. Saras lived on Mars. Every day of his life was very different from our lives. He had a mother and father. They lived in a hut. There were many other huts around Saras’ hut where others lived. The people of Mars did not look like people who live on Earth. They had bright red skin, brown eyes, and black shiny hair. Their red skin helped them to blend in with the planet, so that if earthmen, which is what they called humans who lived on Earth, would not know that they were th...

“Tender Shoots” by Joan Maguire

Submitted to Contest #40

Tender ShootsNathan felt the crowd disperse. He’d been so engrossed in the music, the rhythm he’d created that he barely noticed the spectators leaving. He heard the ping, ping of the coins as they dropped into the biscuit tin placed on the footpath.As his strumming on the battered guitar abated, he noticed an old woman who looked like she had just stepped out of the distant past. She stood out with her grey felt hat perched precariously on her head. A grey hat for a grey head he mused. He noted too the green, greasy old mac tied loosely at ...
