“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...

“Koko night out ” by Caroline B.

Submitted to Contest #104

« Are you coming tonight? » I look up, surprised. M is standing in the doorway to my bedroom, waiting for my answer with a big smile on his face. I don’t understand why he’s just asked me if I’m coming out as I think the answer is pretty obvious. I’m in bed in my pyjamas bingewatching Friends for the umpteenth time with my chocolate supply strategically placed on the bedside table. My dinner tray is on the floor because I couldn’t be bothered taking it back to the kitchen. Sure I’m 25 and it’s 10pm on Saturday night. But does it ...

“Destination” by Lia Wilson

Submitted to Contest #104

“So, are you coming tonight?” Jill, well meaning older sister type, who certainly fits that role, all brows furrowed in concern and hands red from palms rubbing together, stands in the doorway. She’s been there for at least five minutes, shifting her weight, unsure of how to begin. I could feel her before I saw her, and the weight of her body shifting the density of space. “I don’t know.” I’m standing with my tie in front of the dingy full length mirror tacked crookedly to the back of the bedroom door. Every da...

“Going Out on the Town” by Ian Mitchell

Submitted to Contest #104

“Yamada, are you coming tonight?” Daisuke looked up from his comic at his neighbor. “Morisato,” he said with a sigh, “I just don’t know. The new issue of Doctor Hertz is out. I was thinking of reading that and then checking out that new MMO.” His friend’s face scrunched up in thought. “Kiraverse, right?” “Yeah. It’s cyberpunk, but I hear there’s also some kind of plotline involving fairies. One of the bad guys is supposed to be a vampire CEO or something.” “As riveting as all of that sounds, Kaori was asking...

“An Introvert's Night Out” by Sally Lee

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" A petite boy jumped into the seat next to me. I looked over to see that it was just my friend Xander. He fixed his uniform. Brushing back his hair away from his glasses. "I don't know. It depends. Where we going?" I sighed. "Really? We like just talked about this." He looked unamused. "You know I'm old and tired." I whined. "Uh calm down. You're 26. And remember my boyfriend is hosting a party and he really wants to meet you." "Eww why?" "Because for some reason he does." He mocked me. "Yeah, I...

“Turning Over a New Leaf'” by Sero Regal

Submitted to Contest #104

Turning Over a New Leaf'"Are you coming tonight?"The question reverberated in my ears as you threw it to me. Maybe. I mean, I don't have to attend someone's party that I had no contact with. Then again, what's the hold back of having a fun time out in the city, drinking, playing, and whatever crap you'd put yourself in tonight?But it's neither, because it was you that's holding me back. Your face looks into mine questioning not just my judgement, but my whole being as well. You know me, as if I was your brother, but we never we're, and never...

“Rajma curry and rice” by Chander Dhingra

Submitted to Contest #104

Rajma curry and rice The landlady irritatingly called Chander to attend the phone. It was a call from his uncle Kiron Das. ' Are you coming tonight ? Uncle asked. Chander said, ' Yes, I couldn't last Saturday but I will be there tonight.' Uncle mildly said okay and closed the call. He perhaps knew the homeowner lady would not like long conversations on her landline telephone. The old widow was in fact irritated. She said, ' I get disturbed by phone calls...please tell your people to call here only in case of extreme emergency. ' Ch...

“Carrot top” by Grace Desrosiers

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" I thought of what I was doing that night. Nothing. I began responding, "No, I don't think I will" "Come on, Parker, you never want to go out with me! We have been friends for how long? Since we were four? And I think you went out with me a total of 7 times" Quinn has always been a little more extroverted than me. They were the one that always wanted to go to party's. Always wanted to go to clubs. What did I want to do? Stay at home with my cats. I tried to think of what I should respond to that message but, before I...

“No.” by Natalya Rostova

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" No. The word appeared in Skye's head without thought. She caught it before it slipped out from between her lips and into existence. "Skye?" Faye's voice came through the phone's receiver, ever patient and understanding. "You don't have to. I can say you're sick, or something." A pause. "It'd be more fun if you were there, though." Sky chewed on her lip. She really really didn't want to. She knew the kind of parties Faye's sister Casey threw: blasting music, way too many people... way too many loud people, ...

“Nosebleed and a drink.” by Kassan Kassim

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming out tonight", my brother asks me. I lift my eyes from the phone's screen, and make contact with his eyes. "You do know, I'm not much of a going out person right", I respond to him. My brother shuns at my response, and says, "the better question I should be asking you, is are you coming out tonight, since she's going to be at the party too?" I quickly get up from my comfortable position on my bed, and ask my brother, "wait she's going to be there too? Like legit, and you're not just messing with me?" My brothe...

“If I Lose Myself” by Jessie Rogers

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" my best friend Ren demanded from my half open doorway. It clearly didn't matter that I was curled up on my bed in my favorite pink leopard print pajamas with the latest Jordyn Cassidy novel in hand, or that I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. "Well? Are you coming?" she asked again. She shoved the door open further, this time bothering to make a proper entrance to pop down on the bed beside me. I blinked stupidly at her. My brain was still lost in the world of the Outer Haven Chronicles where Sylva...

“A Piece of Cake” by Ravi Srivastava

Submitted to Contest #104

A Piece of Cake “Are you coming tonight?” Pratap asked. “No, I am not coming. You know I don’t’ like parties; certainly not your type of parties.” “Ok, man. Suit yourself. But you are missing a lot of fun.” I sighed, as I replaced the receiver. I wondered why he persisted in calling me every time he was either hosting or going to a party. He knew very well that I was not very fond of the sort of people he mixed with. Pratap and I were class fellows and were good friends, despite the vast difference in our family background and temperaments. ...

“Alteration” by Judith Owa

Submitted to Contest #104

“Are you coming out tonight?,” Chike asked, as she applied another layer of lipstick to her lips.Her black curly hair was packed in a high bun and large hoop earrings adorned her ears. She wore an off-shouldered red sequin dress with a pair of golden-coloured heels to complement her look. I glanced up from the book I was reading and shook my head. “I don’t think so. I’m not feeling too well.” “Nonsense,” Chike said, turning to me. Her eyes were intimidating, and I squirmed under them. “We both know that you’re as healthy as a horse, ...

“Lear” by David Bertoni

Submitted to Contest #104

Are you coming home tonight? She would pass right in front of me, without even listening my words. Her words, a castle of cards. She’d say that she’s sorry, but then doesn’t even want to stop and talk. To not mention when she said that she fully devoted her life for me. A perfect Geisha full of lies. That’s her play: construct castles of illusions, sing her victim songs, enchant her preys. Kamala, with her art of persuasion; she was out in the streets homeless and I gave her everything: an apartment where to sleep, cook and shower; a job, wh...
