“Magically Yours, Forever !” by Piya Gajbe

Submitted to Contest #48

“I am not going to stay here for another second.” She stomped out of the dark tunnel and through dimly lighted the staircase, arrived at the underground opening of the neighbourhood backyard.The soft curls playfully fell on her flushed cheeks as she struggled to raise herself on the lawn. The long white skirt and suede boots, all soiled up, added the fuel to her irritation. Her apron appeared loosened at the right shoulder and the black blouse underneath crumpled up. After a few minutes of puffing and pushing, she placed herself on the ...

“It was no longer a dream” by Luna Lionheart

Submitted to Contest #48

I was 7 when it happened. Insane i know. I didn’t know what happened at the time but as it started to become more frequent my curiosity would increase. When i had told my step father he laughed and told me i had read too many superhero comics. I began to believe him the more he told me. I felt as if i was just in an everlasting sleep (you know the one in sleeping beauty) and not wanting to wake up or i was delusional from all the comic books i had read. Was it just a dream? Was i just seeing things? I had questioned it everyday and come to t...

“Necromancer” by Tahreem Munir

Submitted to Contest #48

Prompt: Write about someone who has a superpower… They say only the most soulless of all cursed creatures are born after the span of seven new moons. They say that we are an ode to the festering dark of moonless nights. Mother, you should have known I was an omen the moment I was born. The midwife delivered a child clinging to death and then succumbed to it herself as soon as I was fast asleep in my crib. You should have known then that death has always been at my heels. When did it begin mother? When did you realize tha...

“Little Did She Know” by Aspen Ollila

Submitted to Contest #48

Cameron had always lived a regular (and in her opinion extremely boring) life in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was remarkably intelligent but was viewed as an anxious individual. She dreamed of one day being someone extraordinary but never realized just how fast her normal teenage life could change. As Cameron stared out the window while on the bus from a basketball tournament, she noticed something odd. There was a shooting star outside in the middle of the day! "How odd" she thought figuring it must be something else but figured there was...

“Superpowers, Good or bad?” by Ben Tahir

Submitted to Contest #48

I had always thought I wanted to have superpowers, now I feel I could do without them… One day in July I was working in my lab very close to accomplishing my life long dream of being a superhero, the machine I made would re code my DNA so that as my cells multiply and grow my body is tricked into giving me superpowers. In our final stages of testing we turned pig’s skin blue, and gave a cow invulnerability, The only drawback so far is that you have to be in the re code chamber for six months or you would never know what you might turn ...

“Endera ” by Clo Cramutola

Submitted to Contest #48

Carabao held that look again—the one that asserted moral superiority and good intentions and other bull I’m sure he regarded with heroic splendor. It was marvelously irritating. “What happened to you, Etta?” I stirred my paper cup of paper-tasting coffee and sighed. “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me for the millionth time?” “Come on, don’t do that. You know I only keep asking because you keep avoiding it. Look. I’m only worried about you, that’s all.” Here he goes again. “Will you just drink your damn coffee and humor me...

“I flew up here. How do I fly down.” by William Tells

Submitted to Contest #48

The day was angry. The sun sizzled and made sure to burn anything in its sight to a crisp. The hot air burned as it filled your lungs. No animals played inside, and people hid away in their dark houses in the little town. The quietness of the neighborhood was short-lived when a voice pierced into the dry sky. “Mom” “Moooooom” “Mooooooooom” I screamed. Nothing. I screamed again and nothing again. After my fifth attempt, I saw her charging like a bull and pushing everything out of her way. She was ready to take down her target fo...

“My Kind Of Superhero” by Atraeu Kirsten Corpus

Submitted to Contest #48

Adrian Freak. Monster. Demon. That's what I was. I mean, who could blame them? Nobody wanted a super freak like me in their family. "You're a disgrace to us!" The slap was as loud as a clap and it stung my face. It had been an open-handed smack and it had left a red welt behind. Just below my eye was a small cut where the ring had caught me. I staggered backward, clutching my face, eyes watering. "You have brought nothing more than shame in this household." I looked at the corner through my blurred vision only to see my mother crying ...

“You Need To Fly Higher” by Arie Toro

Submitted to Contest #48

“Maia, can you get me the cereal?” “You can reach it Oma. The shelf isn’t even that high,” Maia complains after getting the box anyway, throwing it at Oma, who expertly catches it. Oma’s used to Maia throwing things around, so it isn’t a surprise that she’s mastered catching things by now. If she didn’t, well she wouldn’t survive being Maia’s best friend for this long. Oma doesn’t look up from her Algebra homework, but grins at Maia’s exasperation. “But I’d have to stretch to get the cereal Mai. You, on the other hand, can just fly over ...

There is a knock on the door.'Check your hands, look at your palm, it will testify against you on this day. The book of revelation sae And, behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his works shall be." Their father’s radio is still playing.The knock is not stopping, Bola wakes up. She looks to the floor; her brothers are still sleeping. They sleep like they don’t hear the banging on the door that seems to be synchronizing with the beating of her chest. She’s going towards the door; she doesn’t...

“Of Shadows and Strawberries” by T.K. Ellory

Submitted to Contest #48

She hadn’t always been Shadow. There had been a much simpler time, growing up in a cramped, one bedroom apartment in the city with her parents. They had always loved the strange baby they’d adopted, even when she’d begun to conjure objects, pets, and eventually a whole person out of the shadows. They’d taken Javier in stride, of course. “Great!” they had laughed upon Hera’s introduction of her new ‘friend.’ “We’ve been saying we needed a babysitter.” But Javier wasn’t really for them: he was for Hera. She had always been a ...

" You should be honoured to have received the gifts of the royals with your humble origins." " The gods have specially chosen you as one of their representatives, you should be grateful ."

“Who would have thought......” by Valerie Preston

Submitted to Contest #48

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? I never knew I had superpowers until the day I had to rescue Major Drummond. I was sitting in my PJ’s on the lounge reading. It was a Saturday morning and my day off and as usual I felt lazy. I usually stayed in my PJ’s for most of the morning, ate my breakfast, read my book, watched TV, and drank copious cups of tea, all in my floral flannels. The only thing that was important to me at this very moment was deciding what I should do with the rest of the day. I could call up a couple of friends and we could wander arou...

“Elmer” by Robin Isaac Monang

Submitted to Contest #48

The day was very nice, the sun shone so bright like the day never ends, the children are very cheerful playing in the park while their parents are happily chatting with each other however for some this day is just like their other day and chose to do what they always do. Like the 7-year-old boy, who has a wavy hair cut in a bob way with a little bangs covering partial of his almond brown eyes, is sitting facing the window while sitting in the floor with his legs spread. He is Elmer Cuppert and the very noticeable facial feature he has i...
