“The Legend of the Burning Man” by Isaac Luthe

Submitted to Contest #48

Power is a heavy thing, everyone has felt this weight to some degree. Not many have felt power the way that young Thomas Coleman did. Thomas was born in 1862, he was a frightfully small baby and it was thought he would not live. In desperation his parents turned from doctor to doctor pleading for aid. In the end, out of sheer desperation, they turned to an old medicine man of the Cherokee tribe. He was able to save the boy but first the boy had to be marked by a firebrand. The brand was placed on his right shoulder. It was the image of the w...

“The Clearing” by Andrew Sinift

Submitted to Contest #48

“I wish you hadn’t ‘ave seen that,” the man in the oversized winter coat said with a slur.“So do I,” I say. “More than anything…so do I.”My hands rest in my jean’s pockets and my teeth begin to chatter. I can feel the watering from my eyes freeze on my cheek as a slow, white vapor fills the air in front of my mouth. The forest around me lays mostly in shadow and yet the brightness from the sun is blinding as it sets over the hilltop in front of me.I am alone. The man in the oversized winter coat is no more than a memory. And yet I can almost...

“The Beginning” by Katherine Doolin

Submitted to Contest #48

“This isn’t something I asked for! I didn’t want it!” he shouted, unable to control the breaking in his voice. This subtle pitch change made him sound weak to his own ears. “What are you talking about?” she replied, yelling through the rain. “This is crazy! Come down and we can talk. I don’t want you to die!” she pleaded, mascara melting down her cheeks. Even now, she was the most beautiful creature he had ever been lucky enough to behold. Sadly, it wasn’t enough today. “I’m sorry” He stepped backward off the bridge- he was e...

“A story of a wrench” by Stigboris1 .

Submitted to Contest #48

Like everyone else I had heard the King. His very own words. He had gathered us all in the town hall square. He told us a great danger was drawing near! His beautiful, beautiful daughter, Kunigunda, would be eaten alive! And by a dragon! I thought to myself, she wouldmost likely be eaten alive, after she was being barbecued by the dragon. That is, if my inside information of dragons is true. - Unless! The king went on. Unless the national hero steps forward. The one in whom I put all my trust! But why am I talking about this to you, lo...

“Heroes ” by Green Orange

Submitted to Contest #48

"Oh! Lucky!" Ino exclaimed as her parched lips curved around the edges.She had found saliva-drenched bones with little scraps of meat still intact and a handful of dust-flavored rice after scouring the bellies of the trash cans that ingest more food in a day than what she eats in a week.Under the blistering heat of the scorching sun, Ino was unfazed in meticulously rummaging every nook and cranny of all the garbage areas at the bustling streets of Del Monte city, hoping that she can get her callous hands on recyclable trashes or even leftove...

“Who's Better Than Baskin Robbins?” by Steven Thompson

Submitted to Contest #48

Who’s better than Baskin Robbins? I will let you know the answer to that question in just a few. This story is about a freaking Superhero, with the most murderous positive Superpower ever gifted to man. Dang, do not want to sound negative, but he is killing Superman. Much honor and respect to the man that is super. I viciously connect more to my Superhero and the lasting effects of his Superpower. Do not shoot me yet, check it out. There was this living carcass, a species which all humanity calls them or rather him, a villain. This cert...

“Wave Rider” by Emily Han Hett

Submitted to Contest #48

One day, not so very long ago, a young nurse named Angela needed to use the laundromat. She loved to ride the waves after work, to let her surfboard carry her through cool water and salt air. She loved to ride the back of the ocean, to feel the power swell beneath her feet, to let the water take her on adventures, to spy sparkling shells buried in the sand, to follow sharks and dolphins, to make the water sing with her. But all her suits were sodden with salt and sand, so she made the trek t...

“The Dreamwalker” by Carla Avila

Submitted to Contest #48

Many people think the word “superhero” comes hand in hand with the idea of having superpowers. Many others believe it is not necessary to be an alien or lab experiment to have what it takes to deserve such a title—pop culture has taught us there’s always a way. Many will do it through money, many will do it through need. Many will train at the top of some mountain for years on end and many will just have to crash into the right one at the right time. Many will do it to satisfy the fiery need to do justice but will eventually fail to see that...

“Scribbles” by Karen L

Submitted to Contest #48

A figure outlined in black rose up from a sea of scribbles on a white piece of paper. The figure, named Man, was now standing upright. His creator was still doodling absentmindedly. Pencil marks swirled around Man’s feet and up his legs. “Hey!” cried Man, looking down. “What are you doing? Stop it!” “Sorry.” The artist lifted his pencil. “That’s right! Don’t touch me again, old man!” The artist flushed. No one ever talked to God that way. Man turned away, exposing a colorless outline. Despite Man’s earlier protests, the art...

“A Mysterious Man!!” by Sushmitha Yakesh Rapaka

Submitted to Contest #48

One fine morning when I was on my daily walk in my favourite park named "Ranger" I met a strange person who I never seen before! Who came to me and started conversation as if he knows me from years before. I was literally confused and shocked and lots of questions are surrounded in my brain. The time when I came out from my shock he said all his story which I haven't listened in our total work out! But he is very friendly and strange too. His friendly nature dragged me towards him naturally but I felt awkward! I can smell a mysterious power...

“The Square ” by Malu Belo

Submitted to Contest #48

I am something of a mix between Anne Hathaway in the first half of The Devil Wears Prada and in all of Love and Other Drugs. Simply put, I’m a twenty-two year old millennial with only a smudged idea of what to do with life and no grand accomplishments to account for. On top of that, I carry around a medically diagnosed label of manic depression. As of three years, I see a psychiatrist twice a week and ingest copious amounts of drugs that prevent me from falling into any type of deep end, literal or metaphorical. This also means that, as re...

“The Sister of a Superhero” by M Daniels

Submitted to Contest #48

She could hear the tap-tap-tapping of a pencil from across the room. It reverberated inside her skull. Along with the ticking of the clock, the tapping of their teacher's computer keys, and her neighbor's leg bouncing up and down. The nervous heartbeats of her classmates beat like a drum. The history test was long and arduous, but she had finally turned it in. Now there was nothing to distract her from the constant noise assaulting her ears. Their annoying teacher had already tried to take her noise cancelling headphones this period, ...

You’d think they’d promote me like Beyoncé. But they’d rather I be dead ‘n’ gone. No, man. Don’t go! Please stay. I don’t get much company and never anyone my age. Nah. I won’t hurtcha. That’s for sure. Look at these little arms. Li’l chicken wings. That’s what my brother calls ‘em. I know you think you know why I’m here - but do you really know why I’m here? I mean really? A WITCH? You’ve seriously got to be kidding me. Good lord! That’s really what they say? Dang! That’s cold! Well, when they’re talking to me, they say I have a g...

“Olympus Academy” by Ted Villamarzo

Submitted to Contest #48

Some humans have the ability to see the attributes of the gods. In the past, these people have been called magicians, soothsayers, witches and sorcerers. They have been shunned by society, arrested by the authorities, tortured, or burned at the stake. This is what happens to people who did not have the ability to keep their mouth shut. Those who learned that often fatal lesson, of when to shut up at the right time, have survived their time. &n...

“The Legendary Beginning Of Christopher Willis” by Hana J

Submitted to Contest #48

My name is Christopher Willis and my whole life I’ve felt nothing but out of the ordinary. It all started about two years ago when I was riding my bicycle home from school. It was a red bike with a rusty metal latch on the front, it was always missing something but I could never quite remember what it was. The tires were firm enough to take the shortcut through the woods off Baxterly, I remember that day; Dan Axterboe stole my glasses and crushed them beneath his dirty sneakers. It wasn’t the best route but it was the safest way to get home,...
