“Carpe diem” by Kevin GSD

Submitted to Contest #51

CARPE DIEMThe ticking of wall clock, the clack of the bent fan blade on desk top fan. These are my companions. No attachments. No histories. No surprises in their futures. The basement sublet muffles most noise from the outside. No windows to pique curiosity. No television for current events. No radio for the latest music, only an internet connection for a work from home medical billing job.Its must easier this way.Relationships are messy, unpredictable and always painful in their ending.A therapist hired by my grandmother once asked me what...

Freddy and his sister Ella were playing outside one early evening and Freddy happened to look up at the sky and see a shooting star. Freddy closed his eyes and made a wish. Freddy opened his eyes and he was still a young boy. He was disappointed. All of a sudden his mother calls for them to come inside to get ready for bed. Freddy grabbed Ella's hand and they walked inside for the night. Freddy dragged his feet up the stairs. He finally reached his bedroom and plopped on the bed. Freddy stared at the ceiling. Next he got up, to get his pajam...

“A Projection” by Erika Bezik-Moore

Submitted to Contest #51

‘How does Shakespeare show the good and bad aspects of ambition and power in Macbeth?’ Elliott curses silently and rakes a hand through her hair, staring blankly at the paper in front of her. It should be filled with words, sentences, paragraphs as she waffles on about the good and bad aspects of ambition and power, yet it stays blank, the lines crossing it staring up at her dauntingly. She has to write something, but nothing comes to mind. Since when did Shakespeare talk about the good aspects of power? Or, for that matter, the bad aspects ...

“Insecticide” by Diana MacPherson

Submitted to Contest #51

Epilogue I was having my brain removed. A sheet covered my whole body, even my face. I suppose it’s unsettling for students to catch sight of the face because it would make the object on the table seem too human. I have heard, however, that it isn’t the face as much as it is the hands that give medical students pause. They reflect on all the discussions the hands punctuated, the pets they patted, and the babies they caressed and it makes them sad.  I was only 29 when I ended up ...

“My silence is my super power” by Kaydence Lawler

Submitted to Contest #51

I walk down the hallways of my school with my head hung low, hugging my books like I always do. But yet, I could tell that today was different, I could just feel it in my bones. To be honest, it was starting to put me on edge. But then my best friend Ryan ran up to me and started talking and suddenly, it all made sense. “Are you excited for tomorrow? I know I am. If I got a super power, I would want the ability to control people’s minds. I think that would be so cool. What about you? What do you think?” He asked me. I had to s...

“A price of power” by Ashwin Noveau

Submitted to Contest #51

To live in this world there is one thing one like yourself must know. It's more like a law of nature than a thing that could be cast away. Perhaps it would be better to show you. We go back to the very start of the mess we're in. A mess that I started. A mess that my powers started. A mess. This story does not begin with a corrupted government or a big bad to defeat. No, this story begins in a field. This story began with a deal, a deal only a fool would make. A deal that I made. "Do you wish it?"Asked the tiny creature d...

“the elemental kids” by Taylor Pastore

Submitted to Contest #51

"Is everyone ready?"Mr. Scott asked. The six of us crowded into our billionaire adopted father’s limousine, prepared for our first mission as a team. I was only nine at the time, missing my mom and home. I remember my mom getting the call from Mr. Scott, the CEO of FutureStar, offering her more money than she knew what to do with just for me, a freak with the ability to manipulate the wind, to attend his “elemental” kids program. Little did I know, there would be five other nine-year-olds with abnormal powers like mine.&nbs...

“Mutual Responsibility” by Adelaide Brenner

Submitted to Contest #51

This was probably Liam’s worst idea to date, and he had had so, so many bad ideas, most of which involved too much vodka and the power of flight. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Immediately, an insurmountable amount of weapons were pointed at his face. He sighed. God, he was way too sleep deprived for this“Put them away” he said dryly, “I come in peace” To hammer this home, he held up the patented Spock hand. “Holy fuck, you’re such a goddamn nerd all of the time” a raspy female voice groused. The weapons all retreat...

“Insolitus - The Strange” by Yashaa Bajracharya

Submitted to Contest #51

IreneThe first time I saw the word Insolitus was in my Dad's files. I saw the word when I was eleven and when I asked him he told me that I should never say the word to anyone. My parents have always been like that, cautiously answering every question I asked them because I was always so curious. But when I asked Dad that day, he was incredibly stern about it.Dad had the position of Lieutenant in the Army and I always believed he was never afraid of anything. But it was clear to me back then that Dad feared the word and it onl...

“Demons and Angels ” by Stella Sullivan

Submitted to Contest #51

hen humans evolved and got superpowers, not everyone got a cool power. Of course, there were the super-strong people, the super-fast, super-tough and those that could fly, teleport or read minds or throw fireballs, or pretty much do anything cool. Then there were the uncool or odd powers. Some people could smell the future or see around corners, others could transform into a fish or summon custard pudding. Not all uncool powers were nasty, though. Many of these Pseudo-supers or “Pseuds” (as they became known) were accepted and loved in ...

“Looking Up” by Eva Dean

Submitted to Contest #51

About fifty percent of people who are asked about their preferred Superpower would choose invisibility. As an individual actually in possession of said Superpower I can’t for the life of me figure out why. Apart from being able to listen in to private conversations, sneak into the houses of famous people and move around undetected in general, there really isn’t anything glamorous about it. The truth is, it is one thing to be able to become invisible at will, quite another to be invisible one hundred percent of the time. You could quite rig...
