“Seasons” by Tanisha Kumar

Submitted to Contest #105

My heart skips a beat as I witness for myself this magical moment. Up until now, I had believed that ‘heaven’ was a place, located somewhere atop the puffy, white clouds, with snowy-feathered doves singing along melodies of the harp as they welcome the purest of souls into a lifetime of eternity. But it is this moment that makes me realise, how heaven is just an abstract state of beauty found in the simplest of things, but treasured eternally by the blessed eyes of the beholder. There’s truly nothing unique about an aisle archway decorated w...

“Bleached Nightmares.” by Amanda Trueman

Submitted to Contest #105

“Melany?” The receptionist asked, scanning the pale and dreary room. I slowly raise my tired eyes, giving her a curt nod. I don’t trust my voice to sound strong, at least not today.  The cheery receptionist waves me down, smiling a little too wide. I’m in a therapists office lady this is not a happy time. I swiftly Rose on wobbly legs, trudging over to the dark oak desk she sits behind.  “Dr. Ackerman is ready for you Melany,” she declares, pointing to the door to my left.  “Just Mel,” I mumble tapping my fingers against...

“Everyone Has Their Shadows” by Lemonade Midnight

Submitted to Contest #105

Part 1 Warning: abandonment The asters didn’t grow that fall. Mr Gryning loved growing plants of all sorts in the local park, and fall was always the aster season. I loved asters - lovely little purple flowers with long, slender petals. They would begin flourishing within a few weeks, but Mr Gryning planted none at all this year. I asked him about it. So to make up for the lack of my favourite flowers, I drew little asters all over the Daisy Estate. I was sent up to the attic for half an hour as punishment for that - which really wasn’t bad ...

“Love: The Play” by Nora Way

Submitted to Contest #105

We begin with a tree.The paper mache behemoth stands center stage. The light shines directly on its imperfect patchwork, each strip having been laid on by a volunteer of the community. How high does it go? the audience wonders. We hope it reaches Heaven.I am beneath it. I am confused.We, as the audience, we just see a girl. We do not know her yet. We are waiting to see her plans, her motivations. What arc will she take? We have no way of knowing. We just like to guess.I don’t like to guess much, and I wish we didn’t. I find myself guessing s...

“The Boogiemen” by Sharon Morris

Submitted to Contest #105

A friend of a little girl’s her older sister rode her bicycle over to their house. They were playing in an apple tree, climbing from branch to branch, higher and higher in the apple tree, talking and laughing together. The little girl was too short to climb the tree. Her big sister picked an apple and tossed it down. “Here’s an apple you can eat.” But the apple was green. The little girl felt hurt that her sister would tease her like that. And she felt sad and lonely that she couldn’t play with her big sister, two years ol...

“Invisible Man ” by Jay Howard

Submitted to Contest #105

I am just a guy. Life is short. It’s long but it really does go by kind of fast when you have so much to do. But then you miss it.  I got so obsessed with trying to get a piece of everything and be apart of everything and connected to everyone but somehow I still missed so much. I’m not complaining per say. I have few regrets with my journey so far. They say you shouldn’t have any regrets in life. I just don’t think that is realistic. Most of them are forgetting manners, declining an invitation because we were too shy or not holding...

“The Prankster and Her Lover” by Bucky Hitcher

Submitted to Contest #105

Please be warned there is a bit of mild language and a kissing scene that will be marked before and after with a line of ---. If it makes you uncomfortable, please skip it.People look so dumb sometimes. They’re also so oblivious that it’s pathetic. Like the number of times, you can trick a person using the same gag is astounding. An example of one of these people is my older brother. I’m currently watching him trying to get into his bedroom without an impromptu shower. I mean honestly, this is like the seventeenth time that this has happened...

“Myosotis in Her Eyes” by Jing L.

Submitted to Contest #105

It was when she began to tap her heel on the concrete that I started to fidget, a nervous habit of mine. She continues to stare me down, though this time with a slight brow raised upon seeing my subconscious movements. The lady suddenly takes a keen interest in my face, narrowing her eyes upon studying mine. “Hm. You have pretty eyes.” “Thank you,” I reply, her judgmental demeanor weighing heavy on my chest.  “Well-I trust Aurelia with my life. If our head maid trusts you’ll do a good job in the manor, then I’ll take her word for i...

“Tall Tales from the Mines” by Ian Mitchell

Submitted to Contest #105

“Okay, so the PFA has agreed to let us interrogate these men, but they’re not going to let insurance investigators take the reins forever, no matter how much we bribed them. I’m not sure how long we’ll be able to count on their cooperation.” The other agent nodded. “That’s fine. We’ll work with what time we have. Let’s make this quick.” He turned to the one-way mirror. “Send in the first interviewee.” The first Argentinian miner was led through the door. “I do not know what I’ve done wrong,” he said.&nbsp...

“Berry Picking” by Millie Squires

Submitted to Contest #105

In comparison to the dragon they were fighting, the hero didn’t look all powerful and mighty. They had gangly brown hair and limbs that looked too long for them. They swung their sword towards the scaly beast, hitting its scales but ultimately doing no damage to the creature, their sword bouncing off the plates as if they were made of stone. The dragon let out a war-cry of a screech and levitated into the air, beating its wings just right so it wouldn’t hit the roof of the cave. The roar echoed around the rocks and bounced back to the hero. ...

“Get Yourself Free” by Erin F

Submitted to Contest #105

Dear Corey, I am a long time listener of your show, but this is my first time writing in. My name is LTC Eugene Buckley, USA, Ret. but everyone calls me “Buck”. I’m 67 years old, retired about 7 years now, with over 40 years of honorable service to my country. I’ve been to war, been blown up, taken lives, saved lives, negotiated with the enemy, but I’m not writing today to talk about all that. I’m writing in to talk about the, hands down, most difficult situation I have ever been faced with in my life: learning to communicate with my far-l...

“The lynching” by Anthony David M

Submitted to Contest #105

                      It took me by surprise. It was so sudden. Within minutes, a huge mob baying for my blood had gathered in the room. They were shouting loudly. Shouting that I was to be beaten up. Flummoxed, I was speechless. Never expecting such a thing in all of my life, I was in a quandary. "What do I do now?" My friends who were with me till that moment were in two minds. It is wiser, they thought, to disown me, at least in t...

“Passing Time” by Brandy Roan

Submitted to Contest #105

The sunflowers had bloomed the week prior, the heat pulling them higher with each passing day, touching the sky with what seemed to be sheer elegance. Claire admired them as she slowly paced the perimeter of the garden, her fingertips grazing the tops of the purple hull peas. The breeze picked up a bit, pulling strands of her blond hair from her back braid and guiding them in an unsynchronized dance. It delivered a scent of the gardenia from the back porch to the far end of the garden where she now stood watching the birds sway in and out, w...

“Thick Madam And Her Iphones” by Philip Ebuluofor

Submitted to Contest #105

I sat on the long form in front of my lodge, wondering how I will navigate my way to the local government secretariat for I have never been there. I knew the town it was situated in but I don’t actually know how to and where to enter bus that will take me there without wasting my meagre resources.        I was given project topic that warranted me to interview some of the key staffs of the local government area. My school is about three towns away from my village and another three from the local gove...
