“It's Only A Nightmare ” by Vincent Cruz

Submitted to Contest #105

How long have we been in this house? It might only be days, seems more like months (or has it been years?) There’s no sense of time anymore, no indication that anything has ever been different. I can hear the baby crying; my oldest daughter Blaire is yelling at him to shut up. Julie, my wife, is yelling at my daughter to stop yelling at the baby. This has been our lives for too long now. I’ve only been awake for about ten minutes pretending to be asleep so I can avoid the day for as long as possible. I don’t dare look outside the win...

“The Dragon Hunter” by Lexie Hiestand

Submitted to Contest #105

Harsh sun glinted off brown bone, almost sparkling from the fossilization. Exchanging a coarse brush for a finer tipped, redwood paintbrush, Dr. Pandora Lermand worked on removing the last bit of sediment between two rib bones. The surface area of the brush, with hairs totaling the size of an unsharpened pencil, seemed woefully unprepared to handle the sheer amount of dirt that needed to be brushed off, but Lermand preferred prudence to progress. After all, skeleto...

“The Dance” by Gayle Chancey

Submitted to Contest #105

Four friends came together to discuss the upcoming dance. It was a small town in the center of a farming community in southeast Alabama. Not much else went on in town and a dance was a place to take your girl, invite one you liked or survey the prospects. All four were middle teens and spent most of their time working on the family farm. James was fifteen tall, dark hair and eyes, his lean frame fooled many who had tried to bully him. He had his eye on a girl named Sadie, she was not as tall as James but above average for a girl. She was not...

“Ava” by Evalyn D.

Submitted to Contest #105

She is amazing. By no means perfect, of course, but she is strong and confident. Ava dares to dream big, and she never gives up. When she falls, she gets right back up and tries again. Sure, she may cry now and again, but she never lets life's hurdles get her down for too long. She is truly amazing. I'm not like Ava. I am weak. I cower in the face of failure. I am afraid to speak up, even when I know I should. The smallest hiccup in life and I'm out of commission for weeks. I will hermit in my room, crying alone, hiding from the world. I...

“WINNIE IN THE GARDEN” by Mara Masolini

Submitted to Contest #105

WINNIE IN THE GARDEN I care a lot about ( of) my garden. I spend hours there every day, not only to water the flowers and the plants, not only to check the ground where they are. In short , not only to take care of the flowers and the plants, but also to be in their company, that they are a great comfort to me. There are the most beautiful roses of the whole city, in my garden. Yes, the Almond roses, a species that was obtained in Japan. They, the Almond roses in my garden, are really a wonder,...

“I Am Bastard” by Timothy Proctor

Submitted to Contest #105

1I am BastardIt’s a funny name, and certainly not one I would have chosen for myself, but still one that suites me very well. It was given to me by the guy who owns the house I currently reside in. He’s been there since the thing was built, and so have I. He never asked me to share the rent, I’m just a squatter, and squatters laws in these parts doesn’t allow him to evict me. I get no end of amusement at that. Like I said, the name suites me very well. Before I move on I must tell you about this wonderful place I’ve calle...

“Escapee” by Jewell Vaughn

Submitted to Contest #105

1st Person I can't believe I did that. I just broke out of prison. That's supposed to be impossible. Everyone said it was impossible. But I did it. I did it. 3rd Person She loosed a giddy giggle as she raced across the rooftops. Nobody knew she was gone. At least... Not yet. She knew she could get away. Just because she had been in prison for a year and a half doesn't mean she hadn't been working out. She kept herself fit, jumping from the floor to the table, pull-ups on the overwalk. It made the small woman excited. The knowledge that s...

“What About The Fisherman?” by Kit Gordon

Submitted to Contest #105

In my family, we have our own holiday. As much cheer, frenzy, and zest put in to it as, say, Christmas. October 30th is the day my grandmother almost drowned. She should of drowned, according to logic. She was lost inside the ocean for four hours. To commemorate the miracle of her survival, we eat from the sea. Sometimes crab, sometimes tuna, and I find it all in poor taste. Because of the fishe...

“Cleansing” by Ruby Newell

Submitted to Contest #105

The classroom has been leeched of colour. I’m not sure when it happened. It’s almost like one day the sound of my classmates’ raucous laughter and mischievous whispers painted the room with bright euphoria, and the next it was gone. The paint was stripped from the walls. A vacuum came along and sucked up the happiness, leaving nothing. Not a spot. Not a mark. Nothing. Lia’s hair curtains her face, the thick strands partly concealing her features, leeched of colour. Her ocean blue eyes seem grey, her lips pale and set in a hard ...

“The Branch of a Willow Tree” by Harlie Smith

Submitted to Contest #105

CW: Kidnapping, death. Time stopped soon after I'd awaken here, hoisted high above a concrete floor. My body folded in a such a way I think I'd rather be dead.From a poly rope, I sway. Imprisoned in a dowidly handcrafted crate of polycarbonate and steel. The front piece differs from the rest, a material comparable to high-density polyethylene, yet it's withstood each attempt at being torn.I run my fingers over the ridges I've created in it, longing to feel even the smallest amount of fresh air.Maybe the heftiness of this piece isn't an ...
