“THE PROPHECY OF EIRE ” by Isabelle Roberts

Submitted to Contest #87

I zoomed through the field of dandelions, turning back to see the angry hoard of ladybugs scurrying after me. I couldn't help but giggle. Boy, oh boy, was it heavenly being titled as the troublemaker! Everyone already expected me to cause mischief and mayhem because apparently, that’s the only thing I'm good at. I looked back in front and sucked in a sharp breath at the sight of Kiki’s angry glare. I came to a halt and hid behind Kiki, using her as a shield from the storming ladybug army. She peered back at me with a grumpy frown...

“CHEPI AND A GRIN” by Adele Maree

Submitted to Contest #87

Teeth….sharp, crooked brown teeth framed in a mouth twisted into a thin grin. That’s all I saw before I moved. I imagine the breath escaping that mouth smells just as foul as the teeth look. Where I’m sitting now, resting, trying to regain some semblance of sanity, I try to recall the detail of that awful episode. Chepi is sitting an arm’s length away from me, trying to catch her breath. If it wasn’t for her scream and warning to escape, I think I might have been in more pain than just my wings and lungs aching right now. “What just hap...

“Fox Run Road” by A.G Mitchell

Submitted to Contest #87

Mac stood staring at the brood of chickens, his face devoid of expression. The birds were neatly grouped in a v formation, with one large black hen standing in front. Behind them, facing the opposite direction, was a rooster. The cockerel sat solemn and silent, surrounded by patches of his own red feathers.One might think the rooster would be representing the flock. After all, that's the way it normally is, right? Whether it be in children's books, cartoons, or real life. In most places, roosters ordinarily "rule the roost," so to speak. Wel...

“The cloak of Loki” by Tella Cordier

Submitted to Contest #87

The winter equinox passed two weeks ago. The sons of God gathered by the gates of heaven for olive tea. The cold winds started blowing between darkened clouds, leaving a slight whistle in the air. Micahel wiped his wet hair out of his face, the olive tea burned his lips. The grey mist surrounded the Archangels like a circle of air. Micahel looked out far and beyond, his voice clouded with many whispery voices.... all the human children calling to him. He never refused, it was his duty, given by God. The voice of God has become silent for man...

“Pixies At Large” by Daniel Norton

Submitted to Contest #87

Flight 1107 lands very roughly at LAX giving all the passangers quite a jolt. It also jolted one of a rare set of twin pixies frm a deep sleep. Dina jabs Dixie. "What the hell was that?" Dixie slowly awakens. "Not sure but I know you are not supposed to use hat kind of language." "Give me a break, Dixie. You've heard humans talk and even worse their song lyrics." "So you trying to sound human?" Dina ignores the question. "Whatever you got us riding in seems to have come to a stop." "Me! You're the ...

“A Convincing Tale ” by Sharon Goodhand

Submitted to Contest #87

It was another glorious autumn day dawning in Glimmerfalls Dell, sunlight trickled through filigree branches in sprays of soft warmth, meadowlark and dragonfly sang dulcet tunes that rippled sweetly on the morning air... butterfly danced on the gentle breeze, sharing pollen rich flowers with golden yellow bees... but Eixip was already bored and restless.'Just another day in Boringfalls' she muttered in a tone so irritated that a nearby dragonfly stopped singing.'Eixip' the dragonfly said 'you need an adventure'.'Oh Bradfire, I do! I do ...

“The Pixie's Journal” by Allison B

Submitted to Contest #87

Dela flew up to the tree and landed in the branch highest up.“Oh my! Dela, you are the coolest pixie ever.” She heard her sister Nissa say sarcastically.“I know.” Dela flipped her silver hair dramatically. She had been telling Nissa how she had helped stop the giant wave that was about to destroy the city. She had been down at the beach hut to get a smoothie when the wave was about to hit. She immediately flew up and used her ice magic to freeze it. Did the ice create a wall so nobody could enjoy the lake? Yes. Was everyone mad at her? ...

“Pixie God” by Flora Bell

Submitted to Contest #87

It was that time of year again, and the city was in chaos. Fire hydrants were somehow on fire. Silly string was laced between trees and bushes. Rouge rolls of toilet paper bounded down the road. And lets not even start on the slime dripping down the front of the buildings. It was the time of year the citizens regret the actions of their city founders. If only they had not invited that damn pixie god to stay as long as they wanted. "Incoming!" A voice yelled, everyone on the open street quickly running for cover. A high pitched cackling flew ...

“Prankster God (Fake)” by Kat Orbs

Submitted to Contest #87

Of all the gods and goddesses that he could have succeeded, why did Zeus assign him to replace Apollo? (Full offense meant, by the way.) When mortals think about Apollo, the god of the sun and a billion more things because he's an attention hog like that, they think of charisma, of healing, of music and elegance and fun. It's not an overstatement to say that he's thoroughly adored and worshipped everywhere. No problem with that, really. As far as Galen is concerned, Apollo is one of the...normal ones, which is honestly pushing it too f...

“Enter! Enter!” the malicious yet light-hearted deity cried manically. “Have you ever read about the girl’s adventures in wonderland!? You will see my inspiration once inside” it spoke as it hovered in front of his magic door. Rogna sweatily gripped the hilt of his sabre tighter but knew he could do nothing. Stay in this world and walk away, and he would fail. His vow would be broken and he was sure to be an outlaw to the kingdom’s royal will. Entering the translucent portal that reeked oddly of onions and glowed la...

The Djinn RingMy wife and I laid on the bed of our winter residence in Goa. The doctor looked bemused as our hearts were beating slowly, yet all blood pressure measurements showed hypertension! We kept slipping in and out of consciousness, however, core temperatures remained normal, internally we both felt like a raging fire burnt! Our bruised arms showed black needle marks from endless tests. I looked towards the doctor, checking our blood results for the umpteenth time! A light wrap sounded on our apartment door. It made him lookup. U...

“Be Careful What You Wish For” by James Mckinley

Submitted to Contest #87

Angus McKinley wasn’t what you would call a lucky man. In fact you might say he was a bit of a hard luck story. For most of his life, it seemed that he was always in the wrong place at the wrong time. He always seemed to make poor choices that lead him to inevitable bad outcomes. Many people said that the Irish were lucky, but not Angus, he seemed to have been born under a dark cloud. Of course, you couldn’t say that other factors didn’t contribute to his poor circumstances. You see, Angus had been brought up by a dad who was less than ...

“Days for Drolls ” by Ava <('.'<)

Submitted to Contest #87

Winnie rolled open her construction paper, holding it down so it wouldn't roll back towards itself. Sheltered inside the paper were her jottings; written in cheap crayons and glitter. This was the third time she had opened up her plan, and the third time glitter would spew out. She read her project until she was satisfied with the wording. So again she read outloud: "How I will catch a droll: First, I will pretend to be in deep distress. I will use my homework as a decoy. Second, I will drink chocolate milk and pretend to go to ...

“The Trick of Citrus” by Ellie Peter

Submitted to Contest #87

“I am Sorin Weylen, god of mischief” No one ever liked him after he said those words, and no one ever liked him before he said those words. While he was the god of mischief, he was also the god of pranks, which, according to him, was vastly different then strictly mischief. He was also born the god of citrus, leather, ink, the number 7, and to his horror, rutabagas. Sorin Weylen hated rules and he hated mortals. Messing with them became a game of his, bribing Mayven, the goddess of weather, into sending down hail storms when there was a ...

“Grandma Goddess” by Lucy Kent

Submitted to Contest #87

I woke with a feeling of dread. It was April Fools Day. The worst day of the year. I carefully turned my eyes to the mirror I had nearby and groaned. This year my head had gone invisible. It was always a toss up whether it was my head or body. I heard a screech from down the hall and knew that my sister much have had her body vanished. I don’t mind being jut a head so much, people never actually believe that I am real and just tend to ignore me. But when its just my body, I tend to find myself getting in trouble with people who think that I ...
