“I'm Just Here For The Food” by Karen Torgerson

“Are you coming tonight?” Jay asked, sheathing his electric dagger. He stepped over my target’s decimated robotic body. It looked like a human at first glance, but the illusion was easily shattered by the sight of the target’s eyes. Void of pupils, unblinking, and blood red. One look from those eyes made anyone want to turn and run the other way. I wished I had red eyes. “Hmm?” I shook myself from my thoughts an...

“Night Walking.” by Marsha Webb

“Are you coming tonight?” Mark asked. Jack screwed his face up and looked at the telephone, glad that Mark was not here in person to witness his expression. “Sorry mate, not tonight” Jack sighed. He just couldn’t face it at the moment. “Come on Jack, you need to get out. The gang would love to see you; we will have a right laugh”. Jack couldn’t remember the last time he had laughed. He knew being out...

“Charlie and the pound coins:” by Julian Race

Are you coming tonight came the dulcet tones of the local beautician hoping to confirm another victim’s presence to her widely publicised lip inflator party being held later that day. No came the sharp reply whose voice I recognised to be my neighbour albeit heard through the open top window of my double glazed front room window. I’ll speak to you later was her final words as her garage door slammed shut...

“Date night” by Sparrow Fox

"Are you coming tonight?" "Yeah babe, of course I'm coming! I'm so excited to see you!" "I'll meet you at the airport, are you okay if we drive straight from there?" "Yes, of course, I'll be fine. I'll see you soon okay, we're landing in a few minutes." I blew her a kiss and ended the video call. This was going to be stressful. My girlfriend – who had been studying in England when the pandemi...

“Mating Flight ” by Nam P

“Are you coming tonight?” Eupompe hissed at her sister. Leiagore paused in the preening of her nut brown wings to glower at her. “I want to look my best,” she said. “Your best isn’t very good, Leiagore, and anyway none of the girls will be looking at you when I’m there. Let’s just go before Dero or Sao give us some stupid chore to do.” Eupompe’s copper colored plumage was a...

“Disagreement” by Kayley Dickins

“Are you coming tonight?” And there it was, the olive branch. Very few leaves and the bark seemed to be beginning to peel but a little careful inspection and it would reveal itself to indeed be an olive branch. Regardless, that was all he was going to get for a while so he figured he would be happy to make do with a singular branch. With any luck the rest of the tree would follow on later, he just needed ...

“A Song of Light and Shadow” by Blue Green

I trace the delicate twist and stroke of her handwriting as though my fingers are tracing the contours of her face, running down the sharp outline of her cheek, the swirls of the letters reminding me of the intricate curls of her jet-black hair. I treat the paper it’s written on reverently, as though it’s a precious parchment which could crumble into the dust of a thousand years. Are you coming tonight? Her handwriting is unmistakable. The words have the power to invoke memories of her which I had thought were long drown...

“No more PTSD episodes...” by Beth Murray

"Are you coming tonight?" asked Tony. "I will if you want me there, I will come" Brandy nonchalantly said. Tony was hesitant to answer, or else he was fixed on watching the boxing match. Either way, I didn't like being a third wheel. "Tony.......Tony do you want me to come tonight?" Oh I was starting to get annoyed. Why would someone ask you a question, and ignore the answer. Oh that gets me, if he asked me- y...

“Leave Me Alone!” by Shoshana A

Tired from hours of shopping, Sheena sprinted to the porch and unlocked the main door. The moment she pushed the door open, she heard something that made her heart stop – a loud petrifying scream. Few droplets of sweat collected on her forehead, she sensed that the scream was coming from the kitchen and gradually got diffused all over, and now the entire house was reverberating with shrieks and howls. She was utterly scared and her feet were almost rooted to the floor.Wheeling aroun...

“The Secrets We Hold” by Jennifer Ruby

“Are you coming tonight?” Ian had asked early during the day, catching Sarah off guard. Seemingly harmless words, and yet Sarah still felt off. Onguard. She didn’t make it a habit to go anywhere on weekdays before work and most of the time, weekends were spent cleaning house or watching the latest on her favorite TV shows. So she was shocked as she looked up at Ian who seemed entirely convinced she’d say yes an...

“The Handsome Felon” by Mahima Sharma

“Are you coming tonight?” {quickly in a dulcet voice} Tamara asked. “Yes, definitely I will,” I replied {in a husky voice}. “I have texted you my address,” the conversation continued from the other side. “Yes, it reached. I will be right at your place at 8 pm”. With Goodbyes, she hung up the call (in a hasty way) as if she has to prepare for tonight. It’s been three days, I have met Tamara but, the aroma she carries is captivating. I don’t know which flowers do she like more. We met through a LinkedI...

“The Night I met Bigfoot” by Annalisa D.

Are you coming tonight? I stared at the message for a few moments. Then typed “no,” but my finger hovered over the send button. The buzzing noise I heard when things got too silent grew louder. Why was Jaqueline asking me to hang out? I hadn’t talked to her much in like two years. Sure, we were kind of friends before that, but never super close friends....

“Grace” by Jay -

"Are you coming tonight?" Sarah asks. The voice message plays in my mind. Should I go tonight? Probably not. I really don't want to go to Sarah's Christmas party. Everyone will be there. Family, friends, neighbours, random people she met on the street- they'll all be there tonight. "Which is why you should go!" Sadie groans, cutting my rant off. "No, it's why I shouldn't go." I...

“Pocket Knife” by Jubilee Lubov

“Are you coming tonight?”It’s the first thing he asks as she walks through the door. The thick faux fur jacket falls from her shoulders as she replies.“Coming where, Eddie?” she sighs, abandoning the fluffy brown jacket on a hanger.They look at each other, questions burning in both sets of eyes. She closes the coat closet door rather loudly and moves to the couch, stilettos clacking against the dark wood floor.“To Lola’s engagement party. I told you about this a week ...
