“LUST FOR LOVE ” by Neel Anil Panicker

Submitted to Contest #105

tw:suicideRoy says, girls are untrustworthy creatures. He takes another swig of the beer. "Wouldn't it be great if there was a God that punishes people who break promises?"Yeah, sure man, I respond. That would be great. This world is full of folks who violate others' feelings, breach others' faith. I mean, just look around us_ politicians, rulers, bureaucrats, sellers, marketeers, firms, companies...all stand gulty. And if God were to get busy and set them right, put them in their places, punish them for all their umpteen acts of commission ...

“From This Side of the Bar” by Ashton Newland

Submitted to Contest #105

It is just after 5 o’clock on an early Friday evening and Felix walks out of his office building. He is greeted by the usual traffic of the Friday commute, but nothing can break his mood. He is looking forward to reading a book, having a beer, and hanging out with his dog. Oh, wait, he may have forgotten about this part. Either way it is warm out, but not too warm to his delight. He sticks the two flexible plastic bits into each of his ears and turns on the current audiobook, “People of the Underground”. There have been times that this book ...

“The Sound of Sight” by Michael McGee

Submitted to Contest #105

I sat within the classroom. The rest of the class left for the day. The calm breeze flew through the window, whisking my brown hair over my eyes. The music from the guitar played quietly through the speakers of the phone lying on my desk.I held onto my guitar in solace. The pick rested in my hand. Whenever I felt depressed, sad, even happy, I would cover my ears and escape to the world of music. It saved me. I had a difficult life, more than others, actually; more than most. My parents passed away. A car collision took them from me. I was ov...

“By the Waters” by Briana Jolie

Submitted to Contest #105

"Wait for me, I'll be back. I promise." Our little fingers crossed to the promise made. His brown eyes looking back at mine as they sparkle in sadness for saying goodbye. Back in WWII when boys are getting recruited for training, to battle not with swords and shields but with guns and bombs, he, too was dissevered from my arms."Aboard! Aboard!" shouted the man in the train as its charcoal ablazing to keep it moving. His hand waving and then showing me the sweetest smile I know I'll always miss. &nb...

“DEVILISH LOVE” by Benjamin Uchenna

Submitted to Contest #105

DEVILISH LOVE “Kyle my son. Make our family proud. The king must die and the crown will be ours. Remember, making the princess yours by all possible means, is our key. Our war has began.” “I’ll never forget that mother. I’m already on that, good news is on the way.” Melissa gave her son a devilish smile. Of course, bad news were good news to evil people. *** I still didn’t understand; he didn’t call everyday yet he appeared whenever I needed him the most. What...

“FRIENDS FOREVER” by Obehi Aligbe

Submitted to Contest #105

CHAPTER ONE. Her alarm rang and she groaned in annoyance. Her hand moved around her nightstand in an attempt to shut it off and finally she got her hands on it. How could something this small make so much noise, and why did she set the alarm when it was the holiday. Oh wait, she didn’t it was her mum that did and today was the first day of senior year. The holidays were over. She groaned, but finally got up and still feeling sleepy, went about her morning business. She had spent her summer break in Cuba with her grandparents, and her grandmo...

“The Actor” by Scarlet Sun

Submitted to Contest #105

CW: suicideYeah, that’s what I am. An actor. A pretender. Some might consider it a gift, to be what others wish you to be. I don’t. It’s a curse. If you believe in such things. I don’t. Well, I guess I could, if you want me to. That’s what I am. I can fit in, fill my empty shell with your beliefs, your likes and hates. If you want to go to some party, get drunk, I want to as well. If you want to borrow a car and go for a joy ride, I’ll go. That’s what I am. Your sidekick. Your mirror.If you murder someone, I won’t tell. Not that you came to ...

“Mixing Drinks” by Kayley Dickins

Submitted to Contest #105

He had had to do it, it had been necessary, just one of those things that needed to be done. Once it was over he could explain it all away, plead with those around him to understand why, tell them all about each and every detail of his decisions that had brought him here. They would understand, they had to do so, he could not live with it if they did not. Half of him hoped they trusted him enough anyway, at least some of them, or on second thoughts, perhaps just one of them. He could never see his partner sticking around someone he did not d...

“Dying For Love” by Michele Christine Martin

Submitted to Contest #105

I had never really given much thought to how I would die.But lying here, dying in the place of someone I lovedseemed like a good way to go. So how can I really regret thedecisions I have made that got me to this place and time. Ithink of all the things I will miss but it is a surprisingly short list. When really all that is on my mind is him, James. It's funny how you can think you have everything you couldever want then wake up one day and realize you weremissing the one thing you never really had, Love. I thought Ihad my life perfectly pla...

Submitted to Contest #105

WE are the campus crush and known as a heart breaker and baddest boy, yet, girls still loved to stick with us like a leech."Bro, it's a boiling tea in the campus now. Zara just rejected every girls' dream." André laughed at me.I hissed and gave André a hard punch on the chest."How's the ego, Jake?" Gian barked out a laugh too.I gave my friend a deadly stare."Isn't our big cheese- Jake is Zara's long time crush?" Cris joined the conversation."Yeah, maybe playing to be a hard-to-get type of a girl?" We laughed and mine was the loudest.I am com...

“A night in Berlin. ” by Julie D

Submitted to Contest #105

Her long brown hair was tucked under the pillow her head was resting on. It was five am and the sunrise shone its cold light over her small, frail body wrapped in a flowery silk gown. Her pale skin contrasting with the royal blue coloured bedsheets worried Claudia. She knew her daughter was no longer 10, yet she looked just as fragile. It had been a rollercoaster of a year. After waving Isabel goodbye at the Berlin airport in August 2017, she had suddenly felt a wave of freedom engulfing her - in the best of ways. She finally had the ap...

“Why do humans wage wars?” by Soumya Jain

Submitted to Contest #105

Why do humans wage wars? This had been a question I had been asking myself for centuries. Do they do it because they like it? I do not think so, for they scream and cower and tremble. They do not do it to protect people, for millions die. They do not do it for peace, for these wars are synonymous with chaos. They do not do it for fraternity, for they take arms against one another, against their own. Why do humans wage wars? I finally figured the answer out during the occurrence of the First World War. And it came about after much ref...

“Patron of the Arts” by R. N. Jayne

Submitted to Contest #105

GinaI'm delighted by the day-shift busboy from RanDom, my go-to sober-day cafe. Even his zits are glorious. Every Thursday, when I’m luxuriating with my black coffee, chocolate croissant, and a copy of the New York Times crossword puzzle, my anticipation builds to a level of delicate discomfort—until the dovetails of my busboy’s jacket wing their way into my peripheral. That released breath of relief is something to savor each time.RanDom’s manager makes the waitstaff wear formalwear (the cheapest available, I might add) like they’re extras ...

“Pretty Privilege” by Natalia Anglada

Submitted to Contest #105

The woman fumbled with the door, her shaking hands struggling with the handle. A dark curl fell in front of her eyes. She didn’t attempt to move it, welcoming it as a hiding place for her tear-stained face.Inside, the place was dead quiet. The clock had just struck two in the morning and tiredness was begging to set in. Both the man behind the desk and the one standing guard next to the door noticed her right away. Their eyes followed her silhouette. The tight dress and red high heels made her the most interesting person to walk into the sta...

“Saved” by Uta L.

Submitted to Contest #105

I gently untie the rope that holds the figure underneath me in place. "Soon you will be free.", I whisper. The figure looks up to me, still in shock from the rough fall. I see some open wounds. "Let me help you with that." The figure nods carefully and holds out their hands towards me. I lift them up with no effort at all and soon they are standing right in front of me. I see the fear in their eyes slowly be replaced with hope. Big, blue, hopeful eyes that glimmer in the faint rays of sunlight that shine through the trees above us. "Yes, t...
