Primum Nil Nocere

Winner of Contest #48 🏆

The big day had finally arrived at the School for Gifted Children, and the dean practically kowtowed from his own office. The staff and a coterie of New York’s most influential parents were ecstatic to host their esteemed guest, the one and only Dr. Warren Albright. He looked as though he’d stepped out of the glossy author photo from one of his best-selling books. His hair was chestnut brown with frost touched temples and his voice had the nourishing warmth of a fireplace in winter. He used his power to diagnose latent super-abilities to ...

The shape-shifter.

Submitted to Contest #48

She radiated light just like her name. Her beautiful skin glistened in the neon light coming from the paved court through the slits in the blind, her soot-black lashes matted, and her gray beady eyes mischievous more than ever. Her long jet black hair fell in loose waves past her shoulders, with a few black peekaboo strands. “Haya. . . .?” called her mother. She quickly hid her diary under her pillow and marched off to her mother, anxious to see what came next.Dear diary,Ma still doesn’t know of my shape-shifting. It has been three days...

The Taste of Lies

Submitted to Contest #48

It’s been four years since I found out who I really am. It took me awhile but eventually I got there and it's not such a bad thing. The only thing that’s hard is not telling my best friend.Her name is Niut Parsons, and her name actually means nothing, no one knows what it means. It's a mystery for all of us, which is why she stands out so much. Me on the other hand, my name is Aletheia Greene, my name just means ‘honesty’ and I guess it kinda fits since I am a very honest person. I’m not the type of person to lie. Too bad everyone else isn’t...

What Is A Superhero?

Submitted to Contest #48

What is a superhero? It is a title given for those having the superpower and using it to represent hope, opportunity, and strength for everybody. Because when you only have a superpower without the right attitude, you are not a superhero. You are just someone with a superpower. --- I was nine years old when I realized that I have a superpower. When I was five, I walked near a TV, then the screen turned blurry and then blacks out completely. Since then, my Mom blocked my way near the new TV in the house. When I was seven, I touc...

Impossible Hide and Seek

Submitted to Contest #48

They were in Zack's neighbourhood, taking a stroll. Not many people were about. A beefy man with muscular arms had passed them thrice, a thin, lanky woman had been around with a poodle once and two teenage boys had goofed around before heading home. Scott, August and Zack were walking slowly, chatting and goofing about. Subject changed from being how horrible canteen food was to hide and seek. "Who's better at hiding?" Scott suddenly asked. "Probably, you. You've got good hiding places." August pointed at Scott. "I bet I could hid...

Read Through Me

Submitted to Contest #48

Grim mahogany walls, glimmered indoors with a mild scent, zen-like silence infrequently interrupted by human murmurs. Perfect home for me. Well, my foster home. The little local library of our community. St Brooke's library.Situated right across the lake, this is the most picturesque location I have ever been in. We SciFi folks live on the shelf on the third row/fourth column, exactly opposite the only window of the library. On my right are the funny guys, the likes of 'The last girlfriend on Earth' et al. On my left are the deep and wi...

A STUPID RECRUITMENT

Submitted to Contest #48

The night was so dark and who would have thought it was a full moon? I mean, the NASA would probably have, but I would have not. I looked at the green necklace Ms. Griffin gave me. The green stone at the heart of the necklace was a bit shining somehow it was like connecting with the moon. I leaned my back on the wall in the alley. It was 11.50PM but the quietness changed the atmosphere like it was 03.00AM. I usually work at this time but I took my day off for something Ms. Griffin—the teacher of the Mutant School I study at—asked me for.&nbs...

Final Project

Submitted to Contest #48

I had just concluded my final therapy session for the day when they found me. I stood up from my arm chair and outstretched my hand to a much more composed Brenda Farley, knowing it was the last time I’d see her, professionally at least.I was happy to help. In just 1 hour, 37 minutes she’d let go of 51 years of anxiety, depression, physical and sexual insecurities, self-hate and paranoia, all stemming from childhood trauma and subsequent failed marriages.Mrs. Farley stood and took my hand in both of hers, wrinkled and veiny. “I don’t know ho...

Plotted

Submitted to Contest #48

Helena was walking down the street, head bent and her steps very hesitant. Her life had become horrible- this was the fifth school she had transferred to, and was bullied as soon as she stepped foot inside the building. It had only been three days, but her condition had escalated from bad to worse."Why do I have to change schools so often?" she wondered aloud, kicking at a stone in her path. "I won't attack students like a maniac. I am not a monster either."Her phone burst into a tinkling tune, and she picked it up."What is it?" she spoke ra...

SICK

Submitted to Contest #48

December 2019I was constantly looking and observing how you were behaving with me. I wasn’t myself since months yet I was pretending to be fine. You were sitting on a sofa right in front of me with your right leg on the left one and drinking a nice hot cup of coffee.‘darling I am already going crazy don’t make me do anything bad to you?’ while looking at Amy, I have this sudden urge of getting my frustration all out on her. I suddenly felt a rage conquering me inside to chop that bi**h into pieces and throw one by one to a place where no one...

Lies

Submitted to Contest #48

It’s a curse really. Everyone always thinks I wish I knew when people were lying to me. But I can tell you right now: you don’t.I’ve had it as long as I can remember. Someone would tell me something, I love your hair like that, that’s a nice top, I really like you. But inside my head I would hear the truth. It would look better down, your top is ugly, you’re a know-it-all. “Elise, did you finish that paper?” Justin came up behind me in the hall. His dark hair hung over his piercing green eyes so for a momen...

Written in the stars.

Submitted to Contest #48

They are around us , they look at us from above, they see us and they want to help. When you look up you see the past , you see beyond , you see the stars and you see ......Written in the stars are our answer and our past, written right in front of us are what we can remember. That was what Maddie always use to tell us when we were little or so we remember. We are only ants in a working environment to help the people, to help the highest of the high. We dress accordingly to the law we don’t know why we listen to the law of the high, bu...

Singing and Powers

Submitted to Contest #48

“And all along I believed, I would find you. Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years. I’ll love you for a thousand more!” I finished the song and smiled at all of the people looking at me. “Bravo! Bravo! More, more!” I heard everyone echo this, but I shook my head while laughing.“All of’ y’all know I can’t do another-on the piano. Who says we do a little line dancing? Cotton Eye Joe Time!” I had to raise my voice to make everyone hear over their loud shouts. I grabbed my guitar from its resting place at ...
