The doctors said it would be months before he can walk again. I mean we can’t go on man...

“Luck of the Draw” by Joe Swanson

Submitted to Contest #95

Times change, things change, people change, but the past only changes when we purposely change or distort it for a reason. Today we talk about slave history, the assignation of JFK, Martin Luther King, and Emmett Till. All tragic stories about death and injustice perpetrated by hate. We have a tendency as human beings to create stories, myths, our own history, to lessen the impact, make the results more palatable, because we share a shame in the fact that these atrocities were allowed to happen, condoned by inaction. Th...

“Runaway” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #95

I tilt my head as I stare in the candy store window. Should I get the chocolate bar or the colorful gummy bears?Decisions, decisions.I press my nose against the cold glass and narrow my eyes as I take a closer look at the contents behind the window.I have never tasted the chocolate bar before, so it is tempting to purchase that one. But it is a pound more expensive than the gummy bears, and I do rather enjoy the delightful chew that comes with snacking on a gummy bear.I peer into my small sack of money. I grab two coins and finger them in my...

“Waking Up” by Olivia Fairfax

Submitted to Contest #95

It looked like a station but there were no platforms. She could hear the rumble but she could not see any trains. There were dark stairways and sinister alleys. The signposts said peculiar, incomprehensible things. Faceless strangers passed by in the distance, no one close enough for her to speak to. Everything looked hard and dirty, cold and alien. Why didn't she recognize anything? She had been there many times before. It must be Waterloo. "Waterloo, Waterloo” The words ran senselessly through her head like an echo. She tried to ru...

“Where is What is home” by Amelia Peach

Submitted to Contest #95

After living in the city away from my parents for three years, the dirt road felt kind of like an adventure. The trees were producing more oxygen than I was used to. I hadn’t driven a stick shift in a long time, so I asked my dad to let me drive the truck up the mountain to my childhood home. I killed my dad’s truck, Rusty, three times before I remembered how deep the third pedal needed to go into the floor. Even as the dust swept through the windows of the truck, the bumpy ride beat it off us. The windows had stopped going up and down long...

“A Self-Granted Wish” by Melainie Chow

Submitted to Contest #95

TW: suicide On Friday morning she slipped on her gardening boots and proceeded her way to the garden outside of her house. She carried a pot of gardening tools that were given by her mother years ago when she was just a little kid who loves flowers for their colours instead of symbolisms. The soil beneath her feet crunched along with dried leaves from the cherry blossom tree she planted with her mom when she first moved to this house. She huffed a tired breath through her nose and took a seat beneath the cherry blossom tree. The garde...
