“It all started at summer camp” by Idinoba Omosa Valentina

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" I blinked as I read the message out loud for the second time. I stared at those four words in utter shock. No freaking way!! "Are you really sure Adams sent you that?" My brother, Casey asked from the opposite couch. "But his name is shown clearly on my phone that the message was sent from him. By the way, how could you have heard me with those loud headphones on?". Casey looked up from the comic magazine he was reading. "Everyone knows Adams is a nerdy nerd who rarely talks to people." "Wow" I rolled ...

“Learning from Past Mistakes” by Samantha Stein

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" Randal asks me, a tone to his question. He knows me better than any other living Being on this planet, and then some. He is more than a brother or lover or anything of that old absurdity of our ancestors. He is that soul mate I have read about in old books and and heard about on something called a pod-cast. He is that one Being who completes my Being in such a way that, not having him in my life would create such a crevice, I would fall in for certain. My name is Abrideen Beenzo, I am a 20 year old...

“The bookworm at the party” by Rebecca Hackney

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” Maggie asked drying her hair. “What? I can’t hear you.” Mel replied. “Are you saying you can’t hear me to avoid the question or can you really not hear me?” “What? That hair dryer is loud I really can’t hear what you are saying.” Mel shouted. Maggie turned off the dryer and peeked her head out the bathroom door to look at her twin who was sitting on her bed reading. Shaking her head Maggie walked towards the bed and plopped down on it. Mel looked up at her sister smiled and then went back to her book. “Melanie! Come...

“It Was Only Her in the End” by Maya Hsian

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” She had asked that simple question earlier in the day. It was her birthday, and a little gathering was to be held as a celebration. She had expected a warm smile from him for a reply, but instead, was answered with a biting of his lip and his hand leading her to the lake hidden within the green mountains. It was the same lake she always looked to for comfort. The same dusty ground she carefully set the little sage green cloth down on, barely long enough to reach her outstretched knees. ...

“A GREAT NIGHT AT BRIGHT PARK” by Mara Masolini

Submitted to Contest #104

A GREAT NIGHT AT BRIGHT PARK It was eleven in the evening when Alex called Clara, who was having a snack, before going to bed. “ Then, darling, but , oh, what’s happening? We haven’t seen you yet, but you’re coming, aren’t you? Oh, you can’t miss the wonderful party in our very magnificent park! Up, we’re all waiting for you! Do you want someone come and get you?” Alex spoke at breakneck speed. She could hear the crush of impatience in his voice, in his words. Impatience for the admirable, ...

“And the devil gave comfort” by Tonatiuh Duran Meza

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” Daniel heard Kate say on the other side of the line. And while he found much enjoyment from teasing the poor girl, he decided not to make a comment on how nervous and meek her voice sounded at the moment. Just as he was about to answer however, he was interrupted by the sound of a power drill reading up before he could even get a word in. Growling to no one in particular, he quickly closed the door from the room behind him shut, making the reinforced frame shake behind the force he’d put. Daniel counted his blessin...

"Are you coming tonight?" Nova shouted across the hall while walking from the front door to the hall sofa. " I think I will pass," Layla's voice echoed from her bedroom. "Lay, why are you doing this? I have been asking you about this party for more than a week now. And you just nodded all the way and now this…" nova sheared without taking an eye from his phone. "I'm sorry man, but I really don't feel like going out you know" layla came walking by and sat next to nova wearing a comfortable hoodie and sweatpants. " Yeah yeah,...

“FOMO” by Lumen Groves

“Hey Jalisa! Are you coming tonight?”“Nah… I want to but I’m exhausted after two a days today.” Jalisa told her friend. She was working on saying no to people when she didn’t really feel like going out. It was always the FOMO that kept her saying yes, but this time she was truly exhausted from her soccer two a days. “Awe come on, it's the last day of our freedom before school starts! you will be missed girl but if you change your mind well you know I’m just a phone call away plus I think Ricky will be there.”“Nice try Nikki but I’m exha...

“An Artists Lament” by Sarah Hawkins

Submitted to Contest #104

“So, are you coming out tonight? There’s a party happening at Theresa’s.” Jaren sat back on Eliana’s bed and fiddled with his phone. He had no doubt she was giving him a look for his off-hand comment, but he didn’t want to see it. Eliana’s gaze finally flitted away and he looked back at her. She was sitting at her desk working on a sketch. “I don’t know. I guess I could think about it.” “It’s okay if you don’t want to. I have other friends that are going. I can always meet up with Toby.” “Ugh.” Jaren sat up. “He isn’t that...

“Maybe I’ll be Alright” by Ryan Miller

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” Sadie read the text message aloud to herself, considering it to be more of a question to her soul than anything else. The cell phone’s glow illuminated her face within the dimly lit living room, causing her visibility of anything else to essentially disappear, pulling her focus solely to the phone. Her friend Maggie may have been the one sending the text, but Sadie found herself asking the same question. Are you coming tonight? She looked around at her poorly lit room, the tv now off for the first time in three hour...

tw: guns & violence“Are you coming tonight?” She nervously tossed the sat-phone from one hand to the other. A lot of things were riding on the success of tonight’s operation, and she couldn’t do it if she was missing a person.A gravelly voice spoke up.“What did I say about calling me about ops?”“No calling about ops, but-”“That means no. Goodbye.”Frustrated now, she called the number again, hitting the buttons with a little more force then was necessary. The dial tone rang for a few seconds, and then stopped.“Look, I know you said you qu...

“The Reunion” by Angela Winters

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” Michelle’s voice sounded tinny over the speaker phone. “Coming where?” Kim asked as she poured herself a glass of ice-cold water. She was parched after a long day of work. “Our twenty-year reunion, silly! Did you forget? It’s tonight!” Oh, yeah. That. Actually, Kim had been trying to forget about the reunion for months, with little success. She hated big groups, and the reunion committee had informed everyone that around 90 people had responded yes to the invitation. That was enough people to make Kim break...

“Are you coming tonight?” This is the message Dan has received from Michael in the middle of the day. What I am going to do? Am I going out tonight? Dan is on the edge of his decision. He misses his friends very much, but something still keeps him locked inside his apartment, inside his soul. Then, he starts dressing with slow movements. A T-shirt and a pair of new trousers are waiting for the future moment of going out, the expected moment of leaving the house and of him. But now he feels he cannot wear these foreign clothes. It’s enough th...

“Past Meets Present” by Manna Logan

“Are you coming out tonight?” Amara asked over the phone. “No, I don’t really want to, Amara.” Maya sighed. “It has been a really long week and I really just want to stay home, enjoy some wine, and catch up on Ghost Adventures.” “Okay, that sounds fun and all, but we haven’t hung out in forever and I would love for you to meet some of my friends from work. I’ll even pay for your dinner.” Amara begged. “Appetizer and dessert, too?” Maya asked cheekily. “Of course!” Amara squealed in excitement. “So, you’re coming?” “Fine, Amara.” Ma...
