“The Best Way to Solve Your Problems is Definitely by Summoning a Demon to Smite Them All Away” by Natalie Rarick

Submitted to Contest #51

You could say Gavin was something of a demon-summoning expert, but you’d be wrong there because he’d never done it before in his life. He’d done quite a bit of research, though, on some new privacy browser he’d downloaded onto his mom’s wheezy old desktop, so he knew he had the appropriate number of candles, in a decently spooky shape, with the right chalk lines connecting them. He was pretty sure his blood sacrifice was sufficient (he hoped Mrs. Melontine wouldn’t miss her dog too much; he was a little beast anyway, who loved nothing more t...

“The Dark Circles ” by Kylie Wallis

Submitted to Contest #51

Rachel was born to parents Jesse and Hayden Parker, in Black Ridge Falls Hospital at four thirty am on December 22, 1987, the youngest of three siblings. Her childhood was filled with mostly happy memories. Rachel's brother James and sister Isabelle looked out for her, even when they left home and found places of their own. The family did the best they could with what they had, although at times it obviously wasn't easy. Rachel inherited her mother's wild curly red hair and her father's height. She did pretty well in school and made some goo...

“Please Don’t Be Pinocchio” by Barbara Eustace

Submitted to Contest #51

Trust. Such a simple word, yet a word so loaded with meaning. Take off the first T and you have Rust, something that breaks down hard metals, or a disease of plants. Or take out the S and add an H and you have Truth. And that’s the problem. Because without Truth, there can be no Trust. It’s something I’ve always been able to do, sniff out a lie. At first I wasn’t sure what was happening, why sometimes people’s noses would grow. I just thought it was something that happened to everyone once in a while. It wa...

“Slimedog Superhero with Superpowers ” by Blane Britt

Submitted to Contest #51

What I’m about to share with you just might be a surprise, but not my German chemist idols Robert Wilhelm Bunsen a German chemist who, with Gustav Kirchhoff, about 1859 observed that each element emits a light of characteristic wavelength. Such studies opened the field of spectrum analysis, which became of great importance in the study of giving human beings superpowers from the Sun and Stars and also led me almost immediately to the discovery of two alkali-group chemicals like cesium and rubidium. I realize this scientific kind o...

“Bird Girls Backstory” by Sammie Hewitt

Submitted to Contest #51

My day started normal, as would anyone else. I got up, ate breakfast, packed lunch, got dressed, brushed my teeth, brushed my annoyingly thick and curly, dark brown hair, and left for the bus stop. As I was walking to the stop sign, then my whole world went black. It’s like in the movies when you have a vision, only it wasn’t that. My back started to ache which made my arms start to shake. I think I was out for an hour because when I woke up all the kids waiting for the bus were surrounding me, including my mom and the police. They lo...

“The Gift” by J. Ernst

Submitted to Contest #51

Twin Creeks Park 7:30 pm“Happy Birthday Dear Kit! Happy Birthday To You!” Standing eye level with the birthday cake Kit’s mother, Cathy was holding in front of him, Kit shut his eyes. The thirty guests, consisting of family members, neighbors and classmate friends took this opportunity to form a close circle around Kit. Clinching his tiny fists, tensing his chest muscles, stretching his shoulders up towards the fading evening sun, Kit drew the biggest breath of air he could muster into his lungs. Silently Kit recited his one and only wish. T...

“Agent Q” by DERRICK CHU

Submitted to Contest #51

I looked around. Perfect. No one has arrived yet. Suddenly, people started pouring in. Within seconds, nothing but dead bodies lay on the ground. Who am I? It is not important. I walk out of the building, chuckling to myself. Those losers actually think they had a chance? Ha! I go by the code name Q. That is all you have to know. What was I doing there? You see, I am a secret agent for the well-known society, TGB. They specialize in killing the clan called the Cloaks. As you can probably tell by the name, they wear cloaks to hide their ident...

“When Our Worlds Collide” by Anne David

Submitted to Contest #51

Life No. 125Evan.Evan was like sunlight, like fire and rage mixed into one until everything became incoherent and resulted in a form that was now his. And I was nothing even close to that.I was simply Malin, the girl who was given this power (more like curse, if I do say so myself) to have a life that was forever entwined with Evan’s.I do not know when I started to consider him mine, when I started to think of us as one.From the start it might have been like that, and I have only buried the feelings deep into the deep, dark crevices of my mi...

“hero” by Mushroom (flammulina Velutipes)

Submitted to Contest #51

I’ve had them since I was ten. At the time, they were, well, probably the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me. I had lived off of superhero comics and saw myself as the next one of them. Even though I didn’t exactly have a tragic backstory (my parents are alive and well to this day, I never experienced any sort of freak accident or was exposed to radiation, etc.), or any villain (yet), I saw those types of things as more of helpful motives to push the heroes along their journey. I was happy to be a superhero already so I didn’t ...

“Dead Girl Walking” by Brooke Hardington

Submitted to Contest #51

The first time you ever see a ghost, you’re fourteen and she’s your dead sister.You’re sitting cross-legged on the dock, sweating. The summer heat is obscene, so thick and rich and suffocating, you close your eyes in defense against the sun. When you open them, a girl floats past you on the water.She is translucent, opaque-eyed, her hair a matted silver clump threaded through with lake gunk. You don’t recognize her until she straightens, treading water, and eyes you. Your sister used to wear that same calculating, biting stare. Your sister u...

“THE LIGHTNING LADY” by Legend Generating Princess

Submitted to Contest #51

As a teen, Bianca Jackson Grace was a very special girl for she had special powers that she was gifted with. She was presently a 14 year old who liked things any other teen girl would like (sorry, I'm out of trends these days) but most of all, she preferred fighting crimes and restoring justice. She remembered the day she got her powers when she was in her mission to find a cyber thief who stole a top secret micro chip from the National Defense and Research organization of Seattle. When Bianca was 5 years old, she got her powers and in truth...

“5-hydroxytryptamine” by Kevin Schenk

Submitted to Contest #51

It was a calm sunny day in the park in my district when I noticed my gift. There was a single pigeon waltzing around and a few ducks around the lake, as they meandered around looking for food and bits they could scrounge up. As always an elderly man would come by with a bag of old dry bread, the bread I assumed was bread he'd bought specifically for the purpose of feeding the ducks and the pigeons and, occasionally, swans. I didn't have the patience or nerve to tell him that he should not feed them bread. Corn, frozen peas, oats or s...
