“No, I'm Not” by Annecy M

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” you wanted to know. I wasn’t, or I hadn’t been planning to. But I heard myself answer, “yes, I’d love to!” It wasn’t until you’d kissed me goodbye and were halfway to your car that I asked myself why I said that. The last thing I felt like doing that night was participating in our town’s version of a carnival. You know they do this every summer. I’ve never liked it. I’d been looking forward to being by myself, maybe ordering in and watching movies. I said yes, I realized, because Evan was going to...

“Seven Minutes in Heaven” by Anna Kerr

Submitted to Contest #104

Seven Minutes in Heaven “Are you coming tonight?” The words still echoed, and haunted my fragile mind. I can still remember the party like it was yesterday. The room reeked of beer and various body odors, the smiles of young adults surrounding us. I wasn’t going to go at first, you know. I had originally planned on staying in. The immaturity we all showed that night was exceptional. Against the better judgement of many, we decided to play a game. Surely you remember it, don’t you? We were to play seven minutes in heaven. But as it turn...

“Redemption ” by Eva Leticia Brito

Submitted to Contest #104

Are you coming tonight?This phrase was repeated thousands of times and was written everyday in the chat between two computers, both located in empty rooms in opposite cities of the globe. Every time the question was answered almost immediately:Of course, I will be with you tonight!Those messages were only discovered a decade after the pandemic had started. Found only after the governments of each country allowed people to go outside again after millions of persons had been mandatorily confined during the years that the health emergency laste...

“God all I wanted was to read Agatha Christie” by Emma Krantz

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” I wanted to scream. Why did everyone in the goddamn group feel the need to pry whenever I didn’t want to get blackout drunk and vomit in the bathroom on a Tuesday, of all days. Like I needed a better excuse than that. “I have to work early and don’t need to rage like I’m 19 every other night, Meg. No offense.” I heard her huff over the phone, and could picture the irritation in her face, clear as day: pursed lips, eyes narrowed, probably rubbing her mascara all over the place because she didn’t know what...

Magenta’s Nightclub: The Start of Living Life to the Fullest By: Ireland Lorelei “Are you coming tonight?” Theresa asked. “Girl, I just don’t know yet. When this pandemic started, I was loosing my mind wanting to get out. I missed the club. Hell, I even missed going to the grocery store. That was a first for me!

“The Show Goes On” by Allison Wonderland

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight? Hey...Landon, are you coming tonight?!" Landon looked over to his left and noticed his crush was speaking to him. He was too mesmerized by her beauty to respond. "Are you coming tonight? Hello!!!" Persephone waved her hands in front of Landon's face attempting to get his attention, but he was still in a daze. "Hey, Loser, P is talking to you!" said a deep voice as Landon felt a hard punch on his left arm. "OUCH!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT, LANCE?!" It was Landon's twin brother, Lance. Lance had been dating Persephone for ...

“Meeting You Was A Coincidence, Falling For You Was My Choice! ” by Naduni De Silva

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” I looked at Kara and gave her a death glare for asking such a dumb question when she already knew the answer. She just shrugged and kept nudging me. Sighing I said, “since when did I ever go out on a Friday night?” Kara rolled her eyes and gave her attention to her ‘buddies’. Well buddies as in have y’all ever seen the movie mean girls? That’s exactly who they are. Kara, Briteny and Kenzie belongs to the ‘mean girls’ group in our high school. I mean doesn’t every school have the typical share of mean girls, hot dude...

“Love Escaped The Party” by E.C. Nickelson

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you comin‘ tonight?” The blonde looked at her best friend, and roommate, from the bedroom doorway. “It’ll be fun. Maybe there’ll be a hot guy there for you to chat with.” The redhead shook her head. “Come awn! You never get out n about! Just one night, Siobhan.” ”Nein, Memphis. Big tests next Monday.” She turned back to her books, flipping the page with one of her dainty hands. ”A week away, Darlin’. Just tonight n I’ll help you study the rest o‘ the week.” Memphis watched as Siobhan chewed the thought over, listing the pros and con...

“A Dance with Destiny” by Karmissa Ariadne

Submitted to Contest #104

It was always such a hassle to fix my necklace. No matter how hard I tried, the clasp was determined not to cooperate. My eyes fell upon the wall clock reminding me that I didn’t have time to waste battling my necklace. I snatched my phone from the duchess and called Hannah. To my surprise, it went to message bank;“Hey, sorry I’m not available to take your call at the moment. Please leave a message!”A loud beep prompted me to speak, “Are you coming tonight? Just wanted to know if you needed a lift.”I returned to my struggle with my necklace ...

“This is it” by Teean O'Meley

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" my friend Stacey asked me over the phone, I could hear a lot of people in the background. I knew she was going to a party tonight and I wasn't very interested in going out, not tonight, not on a full moon just after my 18th Birthday. It wasn't a smart idea, I could feel my anger outburst getting worse as the nights got closer to the full moon. If I made one wrong move and made the biggest mistake in my life, tonight would be it. "Hey Stacey no I'm not coming, I'm not feeling well." I hoped that she wouldn't be able ...

“Post-pandemic” by T B

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming out tonight?” Alex's voice rang through FaceTime as she rummaged through her closet looking for an outfit. Alex burst out laughing at her best friend’s horrified face. Even though Mila was an extrovert, the pandemic drastically increased her social anxiety and now she was terrified to go anywhere. Australia had finally opened, and they were finally able to go out to a party. Last year of high school was meant to be full of activities and fun before they headed off to university and Alex promised herself during the pandemic ...

“Lara's Paranoia” by MfrekeAbasi Enang

Submitted to Contest #104

Lara's Paranoia "Are you coming tonight?" Silence. That was supposed to be an innocent question, right? It was nothing to be bothered about, Jay couldn't possibly have evil intentions. I mean, they had been together for a while, and Jay had never shown any signs of being a psychopath or anyone potentially dangerous. Right? "Lara, calm down, don't freak out. That was Jay, your best friend, fiancé actually. He's always wanted the best for you", Lara mumbled to herself, almost like she was reciting some self-taught incantations. She mum...

“You Have Many Options” by Muffin Hill

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming tonight?” I asked. I have always been asking you the same question, because I am afraid you would get bored somehow at home. I have prepared so many events for your selection. I remember you told me that, you loved playing chess when you were in high school, and you were in the competition with a lot of Masters during your young age. I was impressed when we were playing games on chess.com and your tactics were splendid when you could always beat me in a few moves. I joined our chess club of our school and signed up to become...

“ARE YOU COMING TONIGHT?” by Dr. Mohit Kapoor

Submitted to Contest #104

Are you coming tonight? Is not an invitation; it is a simple question. I don’t know whether you’re coming tonight, I am not forcing you; I am just confirming that you may be swinging by to see me. GROSS!What category of boy asks such a question to a hot red dress damsel in a party; when they have been close dancing for a good 1 hour. Yes, you got the word write ‘AN INTROVERT’. But that was before this life enchanting turning point took place in my life that landed me in a mental asylum by this simple question.……………………………………………………………………………………...

"Come on Jenna, just answer the question. Are you coming tonight or not?" "I don't know Nancy" "What do you mean you don't know?" Nancy asks sarcastically. "I don't know if I can stand to see Chris with that bitch! We did just broke up last week and he's already got a new girlfriend!" I yell. "That's why you should go!" Nancy shouts excitedly. "Yeah! You have to go to prom! You'll walk in all hot and confident. Act like you couldn't care less about Chris. That will show him!" she says all proud. "You really think that's the best th...
