“Witch Child” by Rebecca Andrews

Submitted to Contest #48

Using her staff to support herself, she picked her way slowly across the scree slope, taking care not to dislodge any stones that might take her tumbling down with them. Slowly but surely she was nearing the wriggling bundle lying in the sun where the villagers had left it. Another mouth that someone can't feed, she thought. She had heard the baby's cries from the top of the slope. Even more, though, she had felt the child. She had known that the baby would be here. Reaching the child, she picked it up gently and held it in her arms. Shading...

ANALOG PROPERTIES OF DIGITAL CIRCUITS By Andrew Paul Grell “First, let me say good work being able to contact me. But why on earth would I need a mask? I don’t leap over tall buildings in a single bound, you know, or wear my underwear on the outside, either. And I’ll save you the trouble of asking your next question. I don't have an origin story. I have a hypothesis about what happened. One hypothesis. Obviously neither collectively exhaustive nor, of course mutually exclusive. A sufficient but likely not ...

“Our Time Together” by Fumi Ersan

Submitted to Contest #48

Staring into the mirror, the girl looked into her reflection, her eyes held a rather distant feel, as if the girl in the mirror was someone else. Hesitating for just a moment, she continues to adjust her bangs, before inspecting all aspects of her outfit: a red yukata, custom fit just for this day. She reaches out towards a pair of glasses, but pauses her hand before deciding not to take them along with her. Making sure she has everything else accounted for: a watch, her wallet, and a small hand mirror. She opens the mirror up to check one l...

“To Love The Superhero or Not” by Deidra Glaser

Submitted to Contest #48

The sun was setting over the valley, and the sky was filled with colors of orange and red, along with blue and purple. Belle was mesmerized by the beauty of the sunset. She couldn’t take her eyes off of it, and Elliot couldn’t take his eyes off of her. The beautiful woman sitting before him had ocean blue eyes and very pale and fair skin. He had fallen for her the moment he laid eyes on her. He continues to fall more and more in love with her every day. Today, she was wearing a blue and black Hawaiian flower mini dress. It showed off her lon...

“Where Gods Tread” by Croix Perkins

Submitted to Contest #48

The clouds were doing something strange today. Well really, the clouds were not doing anything, it was the wind; but the clouds and the wind are very good friends, so one can really just lump them together. When I looked up, as I spend most of my time, I saw a crow flying high on the wind. The wind obliged the crow just as happily as it did the clouds, and in fact the two flew in unison; when the crow banked right, the clouds changed their course; when the crow dove, the clouds grew larger in the sky; as the crow cawed, the wind howle...

“The Support Group” by Katrina Lewin

Submitted to Contest #48

“I am more than my power. My power does not define me. I am powerful just as I am.” I slipped in the back door of the meeting room as the mantra was being chanted and made a beeline for the snack table while everyone took a seat. Some days you just need stale coffee and week-old doughnuts, and today was one of those days. “Hi, I’m Mark, and... I have a shitty superpower.” His voice cracked, and I was pretty sure if I was closer I’d see tears in his eyes. Poor bastard. “Hi, Mark!” “It manifested when I was twelve,” he said, beginnin...

“THE ONE TRUE SUPERPOWER” by Udochi Ikpa

Submitted to Contest #48

“Get out of the way loser!” Ryan says as he pushes me away from him. I sigh and bend to pick up my book which fell from the impact before hurriedly moving out of the way so I don’t get trampled on. I begin to walk to my class but it seems he isn’t done with me. “Are you walking out on me?” “N-no…” I stammer. I’m sure I just peed myself a little bit. “I…I just thought you were gone.” “Oh! I’m so little you can’t even see me huh? That’s what you think?” Oh God no. Not here, not now. I’m already late for class and I really need the grades. I st...

“A Quiet Voice” by Linz Vandermeer

Submitted to Contest #48

Fariah Bukhari was born to an average American family. Her Aba worked in an office in the accounting department, and her Ummi stayed home so that she had more time to spend with their small daughter. Her family were devout Muslims, performing the Salah, and living a life of peace. Peace was an integral pillar of the Bukhari household. Fariah was slow to speak as a child, but Aba and Ummi did not despair, for all happened when Allah allotted it to. Though she made small sounds, she formed no true words until she was nearly four years old. Tha...

“A Forgotten Memory” by Audrey Park

Submitted to Contest #48

"How do you still have straight A's man? Tell me your secret man, come on." Jack pleads as he walks with me out of the class, his arm wrapped around my back. Junior year hit him like a truck when he realized he was failing all of his classes and barely scraping by with a C minus. "it's not that hard man: stop partying and start studying." I tell him. as I say hello to my fellow classrooms. "There has to be some other way Felix." Jack says as he pushes the front door open for both of us. "You know I can't stop." "Which is the problem Jack...

“The First Amazon Woman” by Rachel Wilcox

Submitted to Contest #48

“You literally have a superpower,” TJ argued. “That’s cool!” “But it’s not a cool superpower. It’s not like I can fly or shoot lasers from my eyes or something,” Chloe sighed. She was walking home from school with her best friend. They were very different, she and TJ. She was tall and blond with the awkward gait of someone who grew too fast and didn't quite know what to do with their body. She was bookish and introverted, not much into sports and preferred the company of butterflies to humans. TJ, on the...

“A Girl Named Jusine” by Marcia H.

Submitted to Contest #48

Jusine loved going to the zoo. She had fond memories of her grandmother and dad taking her to the zoo when she was a little girl. She always liked to look at the different animals and sometimes she even got to feed them. That all depended on what animal though. Jusine wasn’t going near the goats. She had a dream that a goat with big horns and a bad temper bit her on the leg and she wasn’t taking any chances. Jusine twenty years later still waited in anticipation of the zoo being opened for the year. They closed the zoo in her town in...

“Another Chance comes in a Snap ” by A. L. V.

Submitted to Contest #48

A rush of sound hit me with great force as I walked inside the chaotic household. What I expected to be a small gathering revealed to be the party of the century as I walked towards the living room. People from the age of fifteen to twenty were scattered about, the disturbing behavior disgusting me as I strut through the house with purpose. Compared to the partiers around me, I probably looked like someone’s lame mom wearing a black leather jacket. I just finished my shift at a local bar and grill, so I smelled like booze and hamburgers....

“Retirement” by Clare Coyle

Submitted to Contest #48

Isolated. Completely and utterly isolated. It was wonderful. I spent my life in the spotlight, always surrounded by paparazzi and fans. Between the parties, corporate events, and interviews, I had been suffocated for as long as I could remember. It was non-stop, and it was exhausting. When the public eye is watching, you always have to behave. You cannot argue with a barista for ruining your order or yell at the guy that cut you off. You must be good, the picture-perfect hero. As I looked at the mountains, I breathed in deeply for the first ...

“Tardigrade” by Mr Jingo

Submitted to Contest #48

Conrad ran along the rainy street of Boswell Terrace, his power enhancing his already impressive physical aptitude. He tugged on one of the leather straps around his arm to loosen his joints. For his mission, speed was more valuable than protection, so he wore the lighter variant of his suit – a thin layer mesh weaving that should, at least theoretically, stop bullets. Adorning the chest area was an overtly tacky red “T” embellishment that was stitched onto the suit against his will.Using a car was out of the question. That would have both d...

“The Monster” by Benny Njuguna

Submitted to Contest #48

Anxiously, you stare at the wall clock, praying the hands to move slowly.Beads of sweats have formed on your forehead, as your breathing becomes heavy with every tickling of the clock's hands.Sitting on the edge of your bed, you throw glances at the clock and at the door.It starts again, for the seventh time. You're unable to control it, and afraid if it will happen again. The trembling, you can feel it from your head to your legs.You endure the uncontrollable shaking which is followed by a thrusting pain in your hands and legs.You resist th...
