“Snow and fire” by Wadoomy M

Submitted to Contest #48

It’s time, I have to do this. I settle my hand on my stomach benevolently, rubbing on it, a tear escapes my eyes. This will be the hardest thing I will ever have to do. This is the only way for one of us to survive and take care of you, I speak to my growing stomach. I put on my white cloak; I gaze at it recalling the day I was gifted this it was a representation of my tribe the Chióni. I used to hear the folk tales as a kid, the rivalry between the Chióni and the Fotiá. It all started when Christopher Fotiá, the leader of the Fotiá t...

“Hope Failed” by Allen Banks

Submitted to Contest #48

Adrian walked down the street. Hands in his pockets and head down. The wind was strong today but his thick hooded sweatshirt kept it out of his ears. Not that it mattered he could hear an ant crossing a sidewalk from ten blocks away. He passed many homeless people on his trek. Adrian saw people shooting up in a back alley he passed. He witnessed a man with a gun come running out of a local business. He heard a murder with an axe happen a few blocks away. He heard everything. He saw everything.&nbs...

“The pique of time- celestial inception. ” by Meryl Rock

Submitted to Contest #48

Celestial inception. In the beginning of conception itself, there was a man; a being who lived in a conscientious dimension unknown to the world which was yet to be dawned, this man was prompt and punctual and he moved in a circle like a hamsters wheel. He stopped for none but always desired for one to learn. A few valued him and many took him for granted, yet he always had a way to strike. This dependable geezer was time. Yes, the time in your clock, who ticked ...

“Origin of Invisible Woman and Human Torch” by Nataleigh Sandberg

Submitted to Contest #48

Frost Green was a normal middle-school student. She was the average height, had blue eyes, freckles, and brown hair. She had friends (but not a lot) and enemies. She was normal. That is, until a year ago. Frost was suntanning out on her driveway, with sunglasses on and a hot, blue-fringe bikini. She was laying on her towel and winking at the cute boys that passed by, when she saw someone walking across the street-Tyler Higgins. Shoot. Tyler Higgins harassed Frost all he wanted in the School Year, and now that it was summer, it was his favori...

“A Reluctant Superhero” by Ajay B

Submitted to Contest #48

Seth did not know how it happened. One morning, he just woke up and he could do it. It was a miracle! Apparently, he no longer needed the wheelchair beside his bed. The feeling in his legs returned and his toes even twitched! He wiggled his legs while he was still in the bed. They moved and he was moved to the point of tears. Three years after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed and after doctors told him the severity of his injuries would never allow him to walk again, Seth was walking. He was somew...

“my life” by Para. Earthwarrior

Submitted to Contest #48

Something very strange happened yesterday. It was like I had superpowers. I woke up this morning and thought it was all a dream. I realized it wasn’t...I don’t remember too much of what happened yesterday, but I know I was riding a tsunami. Yes, a tsunami. I was flying on it and going around my city like crazy! Lots of people, sadly, did get injured but luckily no one passed away. I was the only one who did not get injured. My parents didn’t have a clue about how I didn’t get wounded. Not even a tiny cut was anywhere on my body.My parents le...

“Origin Story?” by Katelynn Laird

Submitted to Contest #48

The first time I died, obviously I didn’t expect to wake up from it. The car came rushing at me too fast, a blur of screeching sound and cobalt blue metal. I just stood there in the middle of the street, headphones half hanging from my ears, staring death in the face like an idiot. Moving didn’t even occur to me. I don’t remember the impact. No pain either. One second I was crossing the street and the next, nothing. Nothing but darkness, like going to sleep. Like a dream I couldn’t quite recall. And then I opened my eyes. The first thing I s...

“The Representation of Unreality” by Amy Wang

Submitted to Contest #48

(content warning: implied suicidal ideation) Once, there was a girl who was preternaturally good at creating representations. She could not tell how she came to possess this power. Perhaps she had been born with it, or perhaps one day she had gotten carried away reading Erich Auerbach and it had simply sprung into existence.She could do impressive things with this power, and for a time she put it to good use. She could make movies and carve ice-sculptures and impress small scribbles on a piece of paper, and all around her, the people would s...

“His Super Power was Obvious” by Nanci Arvizu

Submitted to Contest #48

The FBI team had been waiting in the most god-awful ugly unmarked cars in the parking lot of Home Depot in what was any town U.S.A. Agent Xavier Yates couldn’t keep cities like this straight anymore. The same tree-lined streets of sleepy suburbia leading to a plethora of retail waiting to soak up whatever money could be squeezed by the surrounding residents who flocked to these places like moths to a flame. Even the bad guys blurred together. “Hey, YoLo, wake up,” his partner Axe pointed at the entryway. “There goes our guy.” Yates noted...

“Burn” by Y N

Submitted to Contest #48

Take a deep breath. Breathe. I’m trying to calm myself. I tell myself the same words over and over again, trying to brace myself for whatever happens next. You have to do this. You only have a few minutes. There are people who are counting on you. You don’t have much time. I hear screams. Cries of terror. My hands are shaking, but I clench them. You can’t show them that you’re afraid. You have to be there for them. You have to give them hope. You have to comfort them. A part of me screams at me to run away, but I can’t. These people ...

“You'd Better Not Lie” by Carille Durbin

Submitted to Contest #48

When she was five years old, Margaret asked her friend, Nichole, if she took her barrettes. Nicole lived next door and they played together almost every day. The day before, Margaret had been showing Nicole her beautiful new hair clips. They were pink with sparkling stones; Margaret loved them. "I haven't seen your barrettes since you showed them to me!" Nichole sounded angry. Margaret's vision became blurry just before she saw a bright flashing red...

“The Upward Option” by Benny Regalbuto

Submitted to Contest #48

Everyone has wished or hoped or dreamed they could fly at some point in their lives. Free as a bird, finally untethered from their earthly troubles as they soar through the stratosphere. It’s a nice idea, but I can barely stand the troposphere myself. I’m no meteorologist, but Google says that 62°F is the average tropospheric temperature, and it can get as cold as -60°F. I went up to test it out a while back and… won’t be going that far up again. So lame. Then there’s the matter of landing. I don’t really watch superhero movies or read com...

“EvoWatch” by Aneka Williams

Submitted to Contest #48

Kaleb watched with interest as his friend, Daniel, swung across the balustrade on his graffiti designed skateboard. It skidded on the iron, causing enough friction to build between the wheels, and jumped off in a frontside one-eighty. Daniel continued to slowly stroll around after that with a cocky grin on his face.“Let’s see you top that,” Daniel challenged.Kaleb had been skating for three years, Daniel only having a year under his belt. Kaleb didn’t need to tell him he could top it and he figured his actions would speak for itsel...

Have you ever felt like you would make a difference in the world if only you were someone important? or if you are as strong as Superman? or perhaps spiderman?well I am sure you most have thought of something of such in the past or now, just like I have and I'm sure most people have too.
