“The Adventures of Red Gun” by David Mwita

Submitted to Contest #51

It was a dull morning in Seattle. Grey mist hung lightly in the air. Jackie Robinson strolled along the small paved streets of the Ballard neighborhood. He reached his destination: a red brick building with stained windows and old wooden doors. It was square_shaped and only rose 19 metres into the air. Jackie walked in. The hall inside the building was fifteen metres wide and was empty; Jackie could hear all sounds: a man excreting in a toilet nearby; a worker moping the stairs; and a secretary typing on a desktop computer on the reception d...

“Unstoppable Aura” by Marvelio Oxford

Submitted to Contest #51

It was sunny day and time was 12 pm when George was still sleeping in his room. He was biggest fan of Michael Jackson as there were many posters in his room. He was very honest and was studying in New York University. Let's continue our story, George was asleep at the moment but not for long. His mother Lisa went on the door and said in loud voice, “Up! Get up! Now George! Have you see the time" "Lunch is ready", George woke with a start. His mother rapped on the door again. “Up!” she screeched...

“Paula” by Caleb Fitting

Submitted to Contest #51

Paula's scent lingered in my car for eighteen months, two days and I guess about five hours. It was the Las Vegas sun that baked it out one afternoon while I lost sixty three bucks on keno. Once I discovered the loss of her aroma I snuck back to the bed in our deluxe two bedroom suite. I faked an illness and told my friends to stay away for their own health. Most people hold their nose at the thought of a twenty year old dating a fifty-eight year old. On my third day of voluntary house arrest a wisp of Paula floated in along with the plate...

“What Constitutes a Superpower” by Iris Evans

Submitted to Contest #51

Bridget bit down hard on her thumbnail, feeling the hard keratin between her teeth as she studied the questions on the dull white paper in front of her. She was convinced the questions that decorated the page truly belonged in a book of spells written in an archaic and obsolete tongue. Each letter seemed to blur into its neighbor and cease to exist as a separate entity the longer Bridget stared at the pages. Letters flipped on themselves, turning faithful members of the alphabet into numbers and vise versa as if they were living and breathin...

She was in the middle of the crowd inside the bus. the bus was going to hit the rails. she closed her eyes and thought about what she should be at that moment to stop the accident. " Oh I know what is going to help," she said and started beaming. She opened her eyes and time was stopped! she started fixing her clothes, grabbed her cap and passed through passengers. " Oh you have french fries,” she said and grabbed the guy’s fries. Stood out of the buy while eating her fries and said: " now what should we do about this flying bus ? ". " Oh I ...

“The Golden Harp” by JERLIN FLOWER

Submitted to Contest #51

"A hall has been as lavishly decorated with swaying garlands of marigolds; a princess entered the hall and for one electric moment, there was awed hush. Everyone kept their eyes on her exquisite beauty enhanced by the bridal finery she wore". Joanna ! Joanna ! Joanna woke up from her bed and realized that was a dream. But her heart glitzed with ecstatic color, she sprayed her shrubs, merrily sung few songs for a while,as she is the lover of music. She went to the college "Anne ! I had a fantasy today! "Ha ! Ha ! The dreamer came".Everyone ma...

From the day I remember, I was not like an ordinary person, I used to do those kind of things that normal person can't do.If my brain serves me correctly then at the age of 9 I guess, I were able to control the time, I was able to pause the time, resume the time and many more.I don't know how but I used to do.I used to feel like I am not an ordinary person or you can just say "not a person because only alien would be able to have this kind of superpowers, no ???" AnywayWhenever I try to ask my grand mother that "why is this happening to me" ...

“Vanadium ” by Sunshine Charlie

Submitted to Contest #51

Have you ever wished for a superpower? Most people equate a superpower with a superhero. Super speed? That’s the Flash if you’re a DC girl, Quicksilver if you’re more of a Marvel fan. Super strength? How about Superman, Captain America… even the Hulk. There’s a whole list of superheroes who can fly. A lot of people don’t realize a person with a superpower can just as easily be a super-villain. Easier even. For every hero there’s at least a dozen villains regularly terrorizing the civilians the hero is sworn to protect. That’s all just chi...

“No Good Moves” by Mason Jones

Submitted to Contest #51

Zugzwang hated waiting. He’d done enough of it for a lifetime and it gave him extra time to think. Extra time to think meant remembering things he didn’t want to remember. Such behavior wasn’t an option during missions like these. He had to stay alert, focused, and getting trapped in old memories would only hinder him. Gritting his teeth, he glanced at the clock. Only a few minutes to go, he thought. He closed his eyes momentarily and the memory came to him unbidden. Sitting alone with his back to a great oak tree, Angelo watched...

Submitted to Contest #51

Peering through the pudgy finger-frame of his pseudo hand-binoculars, his fore nail nearly digging into the flesh of his thumb, Kurayi pretends to adjust his fingers for a better view.“Okay, I have a decent view. Hand me the sling,” he whispers to the pile of boys crouched under his seat.Immediately the air beneath him awakes, mingled with frantic movement and breathy murmurs. Kurayi sticks his hand below his seat and wiggles it around expectantly, concomitantly whacking someone in the face.Poorly supressed laughter ripples through the boys ...

Red sighed in frustration as she watched the girl return to the playground. It was the third time she was making the trip from the playground to her mom to collect another candy-bar.Red had sensed earlier that something sinister was going on on the playground but she’d ignored it. She came to the park to take a breather and she was determined to stick to her plan. She’d done so much for so many people, today was meant to be for herself only.The girl had just started to unwrap her candy bar when Red sensed the sinister aura again, but it...

“I KNOW HIM...” by Syeda Iram

Submitted to Contest #51

I have never seen someone so powerful, so magnificent, so attractive and so modest in my life. And I now I KNOW HIM very well. My story is all about that power which can make you laugh , cry , fight , compare , live , believe or even die. It was the best time(or worst) of my life as I was part of “TIME” . It’s not an organization its one of the known powerful groups of my College. I was new to that world. Totally lost , confused at the same time happy to be part of that . I feel like a toddler in bet...

“Mystery In Black” by Mary Swearingen

Submitted to Contest #51

"I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower." Banksy In the classroom, she was all-powerful. No one dared question her authority. No one dared sassed her under their breath or to her face. No one dared not follow her commands. When she said jump, we jumped. When she said "sit," we instantly plopped down. When she said "quiet," we immediately hushed. When she told us to read, we opened a book and started reading. Any command given was instantly obeyed...

“Powerful Nothing” by Adrian Tan

Submitted to Contest #51

An asteroid was hurtling down the sky at high velocity. Scientists had miscalculated the projectile and the missile that was meant to destroy it had missed by a fraction. It was not supposed to happen because there was no margin for error. Millions of lives were at stake as it headed towards a metropolitan. And yet, with hundreds of brilliant minds coupled with an infinite resource of computational power, someone, something had made a mistake. “Well, shit poo happens,” Ken uttered under his breath, self-censoring himself because ...

“Pigeonholed” by Robin Cray

Craig bounced up and down as the line of graduates inched forward towards the Academy headmaster, who held their long sought diplomas in his hand. Craig elbowed his buddy Louis in the ribs. “This is it! This is it!” Louis straightened out his cap and gown. “So you keep telling me.” “What you think we’re going to get? Superspeed, super strength?” Louis shrugged. “I don’t know. Whatever I get, I get. It’s a superpower. It’ll be cool.” “Maybe if it’s something really cool, I can get that date with Jennife...
