“The secret of power” by Keerththan 😀

Submitted to Contest #51

Nobody noticed Jake's absence during the English class in the only college in the city. Jake loved technology. So, he took the computer science stream. Mrs. Norwich, the English lecturer for the class, had switched on the television in the class when a college staff member came and whispered something. She was a tall, young woman with black hair and large spectacles.The news flashed,"The Big Jumper is having another encounter with the Trapshot"."Wow!", shouted the excited students. The Big Jumper was a hero in that small city and could ...

“Rebel Prince” by Aerin Rebecca ✨🌈

Submitted to Contest #51

I just didn’t get it. Like, at all. I mean, I tried to understand the thought process of everyone in Tyala—my father especially—but I always wound up in the same place: 100% confuzzled. Okay? So sue me for not understanding why everything anybody ever wanted was to be plain and normal. To fit in. I’m not going to do some big speech, or sing some big song like Belle in The Beauty and The Beast about how everybody is mediocre compared to me. I can’t sing and I can’t judge. Because I’m jus...

“The Nightmare Warriors” by Orenda .

Submitted to Contest #51

With a glass full of chill vodka in one hand and a doraemon pen in the other, Wren stares at the ever so puzzling math problems lying in front of her.I do be regretting my college choices. She scribbles some anime figures on the surface of her desk, fills in a few random numbers in the blanks on the paper, texts her friends and after awhile, throws her hands into the air as if surrendering to the questions.“Why don’t you solve your own problems, eh?” And with that, she pushes her chair, the legs producing an annoying screech on the floor, th...

“Chaos is a Friend of Mine: Part Four” by Jubilee Forbess

Submitted to Contest #51

Ochd. I woke up. “Hey.” I looked up. No one was there that I could see. “Hey.” Where was I? There was someone who was still trying to talk to me but they were too far away and there were miles and miles of my head saying what are they saying and I couldn’t think straight anymore. “I see you waking up, Solly. Don’t be like that. It’s your first day of school and you don’t want to be late…” That woke me up again. My eyes slowly clicked into focus and I saw the person talking to me clearly. She was a slight lady, sitting o...

“The Downfall of Miguel-Michel Hernandez” by Sarah Freeman

Submitted to Contest #51

Miguel-Michel Hernandez, or MM as he liked to be called, had a power. A superpower, one might call it. His power was that he was always, always able to escape. The nineteen-year-old knew this, and took advantage of it as much as he could. He performed daredevil stunts because he knew there was no way for him to fail. He even committed crimes that would’ve landed him a lifetime of confinement—but, obviously, he escaped. MM was the classic oh-so-cleve...

“The Mission” by Akshat .

Submitted to Contest #51

As Blackbang trudged through the snow, he thought of his mission: kill the nefarious ringleader of C.R.O.W., a syndicate that targeted the top leaders of the world. That would be relatively easier than his other missions: kill an assassin from a rooftop 3 acres away, kidnap a gang leader, and many others that had earned him the title of “Shadow.” He had accomplished all of this through one thing: his superpowers. The only organization that knew about it was the one he swore his allegiance to P.A.N.T.H.E.R. P.A.N.T.H.E.R.was the mos...

“Paradox of Control” by Madhurima Giri

Submitted to Contest #51

"Hailie!" "Yes mother?" "Were you counting the spoons, plates and glasses again?" mother asked angrily. "Did I say numbers out loud?" I asked innocently. "yes." She said confused "Did I use the words spoons, plates and glasses?" "Yes?" she said not sure where this was going "Then I may have been counting spoons, plates and glasses 'again'" I said stressing on again knowing the effect it would have on her. "What? How dare you?" She asked appalled. "Oh mother, if I would have been in the mood of daring then I would have been sleeping in my roo...

“Einstein's Other Theory” by Deborah Mercer

Submitted to Contest #51

What do you think would be the Number One choice of superpower? Oh yes, most of us think it could be both fascinating and useful, not to mention thrilling to be able to fly, and the benefits of being invisible are – not the most appropriate of expressions! – glaringly obvious. Or perhaps not as paradoxical as it seems – did you know that during World War 2 they camouflaged ships by something called “dazzling”? Then there are the variants on making people fall in love with you, or being able to ou...

“#The Chosen One#” by Abigail Slimzy

Submitted to Contest #51

Supernatural power is a gift that anyone could wish to have. In the land of Olamili, it was known that the inhabitants were terrorized and haunted by the invaders from neighbouring lands. The king, Igwe Ugodibua was known for his firmness and justice. The villagers lived in total fear of the unknown. At sunset, men of the land in their numbers start running home to protect their wives, children and yam barns. They were all known for their hardworking and strong zeal. The invaders were always at alert to get what they wanted without the peopl...

“The Cost of One” by Itay Frenkel

Submitted to Contest #51

I lived with my parents in a trailer park outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the prairies of Canada. Both of them were clairvoyant -their memories dipped into the past and the future- which was quite rare. It’s one thing to be able to see the future but to find and marry someone else who could do the same seldom happened. My parents ran a small restaurant on the side of a busy highway. Eventually, the health inspector was called to shut it down. He was a fat man with short grey hair. “Sorry to have to do this,” he said in an unapologeti...

“I” by Harken Void

Submitted to Contest #51

I can control people’s minds. Freaky, right? I can have complete and utter control over what people think, what they do, and what they say. I can make them feel what I want them to feel, make them believe what I want them to believe and I can do it all without them even noticing me. That includes you. You are under my control. Right now, I am running your life. And you have no idea I’m doing it. You are my puppet and I am your master, pulling the strings, bending you to my agenda. The thoughts that you have, I planted them there. The emotion...

“A New Way to Heal (Origins, Part 1)” by Kate Ulrich

Submitted to Contest #51

Time travel, they called it. It took a while to get used to.I couldn’t change anything from the past. Dr. Miller said that was good- no pesky Butterfly Effect ruining the world- but it seemed like a cruel joke to me. Dr. Miller assured me that anything could happen if even something small changed in the past. Trust her, it was better this way.The first time I went back I was alone in the lab. Dr. Miller and her team of scientists were watching from behind the cameras peppered throughout the room, recording me from every possible angle. ...

“Dragon” by 𝙑𝖎ⓥα𝓪𝖞 𝓐𝓽𝐚𝕝

Submitted to Contest #51

Dragons. They like to hunt. But this one likes it more than you think. His name is Whitefire. He's an outlaw from his tribe Fire-raiders. There are speed dragons, there are fire dragons. There are weak dragons, there are strong dragons. There are small dragons, there are big dragons. There are many more types of dragons. Whitefire was a small, and weak dragon. He was a wind dragon. . “I need to find another tribe,” He thought, “even if it’s bad, it will be better than roaming around in this trashy forest. Maybe I should look on the b...

“Solid Support” by Charles Stucker

Submitted to Contest #51

Author's note- this is a variation on the opening of a novel about Red Ronin. I have posted five, one for each prompt, as an ambitious attempt to support the big anniversary of Reedsy. They all follow separate characters, but I recommend reading "Devil Take the Hindmost" last because it has the largest cast, several of whom are introduced earlier. Solid Support The call is the sort I always answer. Thunderclap engaged enemies without waiting for backup or support. He chased Purple Ninja after she hit an armored car and walked into some so...

“"GOT THE SUPERPOWER LOVE I ALWAYS WANTED"” by Swati Sharma

Submitted to Contest #51

The Secret changed my life and I am abundantly grateful for the life I am living now. Several years ago, I had been married to an emotionally abusive man. I had a job that required me to have a partner, and I had one permanently assigned to me. Once we got to know each other, I realized that my work partner would have been my perfect partner in life, the perfect man for me, but, I was already married. After a couple of years, my partner was transferred to a different area. I left that job and went back to school, and I lost contact with my w...
