“All Moms with Superpowers ❤️” by POOJA SARMALKAR

Submitted to Contest #51

Superman received powers from the sun, and Batman bought his powers with family money. I never would have expected to know these facts in my single days, but now I have two boys—one who is almost four and obsessed with anything “super.” It’s strange to think that to him I am hugely powerful. I ’m the person that solves mysteries, fights his battles and heals his wounds with a kiss. Instinct or adaptation...who knows? Motherhood brings out these superpowers. You could call it a “mama-morphasis.” This mama-morphasis is different for each woman...

“Gravity in the Mist” by Katrina Lee

The pain of thought tortured many. He flung himself down in a rickety chair in his dusty apartment, feeling the ghost of thoughts come on like tidal waves—relentless pursuit with a water baton raised until he succumbed and prepared himself for the unceremonious thump of impact, the blow that’d knock him out cold; that was what recalling one’s hurtful memory felt like. He was trying to recall what it had felt like. His exhalation caught in the thorax, never arriving in the realm...

“An Unexpected Powerful Treasure.” by P. Jean

Submitted to Contest #51

(Write about someone or something that has a superpower.) The boy sat on the flat rock by the stream, the words on the page fading as the light faded. It was the very best part of the day, the back breaking work of the day done, a meager but tasty meal over and then his personal few hours with the books. ~~~~~ Passing by that day, on his way to nowhere or who knows where, he stopped at the smith at the edge of this town, seeking water and information that would give him some idea the best way to go on.&n...

“Tears of a titan” by Connor H

Submitted to Contest #51

I eat, work, save, sleep repeat. Eat, work, save, sleep and repeat. The same process 365 days, 52 weeks. I get no breaks, no life and no enjoyment. As a child I thought having superpowers would be cool. I could be anyone I wanted, and I choose to be a superhero. I would be able to fly wherever I want, save people and everyone would love me, and I would ride a wave of euphoric emotions all day long. And yet, no one told me just how boring and tame it would get. My powers no longer seem dope or get me as excited as they once did. One reas...

“THE PUDDLE DIPPERS ” by Barbara Burgess

Submitted to Contest #51

"Hi Dad, can you look after Arianne today for me? Work phoned. They want me to attend a conference as the boss has called in sick." "Yes, no problem Vikki." "Great Dad. I'll be there in about thirty minutes? See you shortly." Vikki put the phone down, stood at the mirror, tidied her hair and checked her makeup. "Are you ready, Arianne? Take your hiking boots with you. I'm sure Gran and Granddad will want to go for a walk in the woods." "Okay Mum. Won't be long." Ten minutes later eleven-year-old Arianne came skipping downst...

“Blair Kimora” by Arushi Ramayanam

Submitted to Contest #51

Chapter One Midnight The cold harsh midnight breeze seemed to have slapped my face. As if were saying: “You shouldn’t be out here at dark!!”. But of course, I didn’t listen. Then my ears heard a booming voice coming from the cavern. It sounds as two men were bargaining. “Look here oldtimer! 50 gold pieces for the labors. You’ll never get a better offer than thi...

“Angel Heart” by Jane Andrews

Submitted to Contest #51

It was gone six when Marie finally finished her shift at the homeless centre. Wrapping her scarf around her neck for protection against the chill November air, she left the building, longing for the warmth of her tiny flat and the companionship of her cat. She loved what she did at the centre, but it wore her down sometimes. It was good to know she was providing a service for people who needed it, but it could be a thankless task – lots of rough sleepers would far rather be given a bottle of whisky than a mug of hot soup. Nevertheless, she t...

“Souperpower” by Rayhan Hidayat

Submitted to Contest #51

Ava pants her lungs dry at the top of the hill. Finally. A little cottage with a mint-green roof is ahead, just like the bartender had said before he’d kicked her out for being a “minor,” whatever that means.“Come back in six years,” he’d said with a warm twinkle in his eyes, “and your first Scotch will be on the house, I promise.”Ava reckons that six years is an awful long time to wait for a free drink, so she’d pulled out her notepad and scrawled a reminder to visit the pub when she turns eighteen. Her big sister once said that the only st...

“Magical Heist” by Senthil Matheswaran

Submitted to Contest #51

It is a universally known truth that if you do something criminal, you must be punished by being sent to prison. Well, Matthew Holmes didn’t exactly do anything criminal but was involved in a robbery. Matthew and his friend were both involved in the crime. Last night Matthew was arrested and kept in custody all night. But something strange was happening in the prison building. First, there was some fog, and then darkness engulfed the prison building. There was also weird wolf howling sounds. The policemen and workers assumed it was just the ...

“THE DREAMWALL” by Devanshi Garg

TITLE: THE DREAM WALL Julius Root, a boy of fifteen, lived with his rickety old grandmother in a small town, Bristol. He had never seen his parents. His grandmother told him that fourteen years ago when he was hardly a year old, his parents died in a plane crash when they were flying to Hawaii. Unlike other kids, Julius never missed his parents; his grandmother had never actually let him miss them. She was a friend, mentor, father, mother and everything a person needs in his life to him. Moreover he never knew them ve...

“Nothing More” by Tiffy H

Submitted to Contest #51

All Zia wanted was to disappear. Nothing made her happy. Nothing made her smile. She felt pain deep down in her heart, and she just wanted it all to go away, to stop. Zia looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. All she could see was a broken heart girl that just wanted life to stop. How did she get to this point? Of all people, Zia never thought she would be a depressed person. She never thought that she, of all people, would be this melancholic girl who couldn’t find her peace anymore. This all surprised her because in her earlier life, ...

“Superman” by Sandra Claros

Submitted to Contest #51

- How much is that Superman magazine for collectors? - Ten bucks. The little client looked at his pocket : he did have ten, but he was in need of two. - I only have eight. No way! If I give the journal for eight bucks, I will have no profit on selling it. - Right. I have ten, but I need money to go back home. I have to take the bus, and walk three blocks to get home, so I need the change. - Tough for you! - C’mon, pal ¡ I liked your magazine, and I do not have it in my collection...

“Karmic Energy” by Samantha Salomon

Submitted to Contest #51

Trigger warning: domestic abuse “I threw my hands forward and I pushed all of the negative energy towards him. I felt this big 'whoosh' of forces, and when I was done, I knew I had done something I wasn’t supposed to do. I’m no saint, however. You know how sometimes you just can’t help it? The next morning he woke up with a broken tooth. It was hilarious. He came into the kitchen and his tooth was split in half, right up the center! It happened while he was asleep. Serves him right!” “Wait, a minute? Are you saying you broke his tooth...

“In regard to: 100 wishes” by Mallory Thomas

Submitted to Contest #51

Part One: The Journal In regard to: the beginning I hope the poor soul who finds this does not make the same mistakes that I have. The text was stamped on by an old fashioned typewriter, the ink faded. Attached to it, there was a small spherical package, wrapped in burlap and tied with twine. The package itself was hidden, but not in a way where it was never meant to be found. It was in a banyan tree, only just sticking out because the tree overlapped it. I had to rip it out of the tree, leaving a small cavity. The pa...
