“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...

“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 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....

“Flowers, Flames, and Fight Club” by Aidrielle R.

Submitted to Contest #48

Nowadays, Shirley can’t watch Fight Club without her mind wandering back to that day.They were outside a convenience store way out of town. Penny’s ancient Corolla was parked in front of them, its tank freshly full. It was mid-autumn, and Shirley sat in between her two roommates, her two best friends.She shivered--because of the chill November air, or maybe because of what they’re about to do. With a snap of her fingers, Rita produced a tennis ball-sized flame that floated right above her palm. Not for the first time, Shirley wished she had ...

“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...

“The Traveler” by Shawn Bills

Submitted to Contest #48

“Hello, Cordi,” the man said quietly as he approached the woman. Cordi sat alone on a faded park bench. She was on her lunch break. Today, Cordi was engrossed in a book she had just started reading. Her curly, dark auburn hair hung to one side, creating a sort of fortress that told others she was busy and to stay away. The man then sat on the far side of Cordi’s bench, leaned over and tried again. Clearing his throat, he said a little more loudly, “Excuse me, miss … I said ‘hello’?” Cordi rolled her eyes. She just wan...

I looked up into Adam’s eyes to see if he felt it too. He did. He was teary eyed. He met my gaze and we let out a collective gasp. We did it. She was finally here. She was tiny, and beautiful, and she was crying. It was a raspy little noise that sounded like it was difficult to make. The nurse indicated I should try to nurse ...

“Closer” by Rebecca Goldguire

Submitted to Contest #48

It started with the headaches. Searing pain with no warning - flashes of sound and colour. They became more and more disruptive to my life and no medication or treatment could provide me with any relief whatsoever. The headaches led to the appointments. First with doctors, then with specialists and psychiatrists. It all had me convinced I was some kind of crazy. And trust me, having several PhDs delving into your subconscious day in and day out will definitely provide something for you to feel traumatized about.It’s not that the therapy and ...

“Beer Run” by Rabbitt Sharp

Submitted to Contest #48

This story is Fan Fiction even though I have used none of the characters and only one God from Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" Universe. There is at least one barely veiled reference to Camp Half-Blood and it's Director Dionysus. Enjoy the thrill of the Gods once more! And though it is only incidental and of no bearing to the story, the Protagonist is Non-Binary.===============================================Robin sat, balanced on the top of the bus stop bench, and watched the water slowly ooze out of and around the concrete...

“The Beauty Within” by Angela Morrissey

Submitted to Contest #48

Raquel gazed at her reflection as she brushed her impossibly straight chestnut hair that framed a pudgy face. Hazel eyes stared back at her. She’d given up on the idea of Cinderella one day staring back at her. Knowing that it wouldn’t make much difference, she applied some red lipstick before heading out the door to the school where she worked. Gathered around the staffroom table was the popular group of teachers including the man she secretly had a crush on: Nick Jones. To this day, this six feet something man with ...

“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...

“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 ...
