“Empathy Girl Must Die” by Cain Adomnain

Submitted to Contest #48

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...

“Touch of Death ” by Anisah H

Submitted to Contest #48

Her soft brown eyes searched mine as I looked down and saw the newborn writhing in her cot. She wasn’t kept with the other babies, she was isolated. Hidden away from prying eyes and wandering hands. Nothing but the rhythmic beeping of the hospital monitors to lull her to sleep. She didn’t cry when she saw me, she remembered me. Though I knew who she was I couldn’t place her sweet innocence. As if I was staring into a mirror, not recognising the reflection. Nothing can be compared to the softness of a baby’s skin, yet there was no comfort in ...

“The Wooden Palace ” by Rema Teller

Submitted to Contest #48

Alara was sitting amongst a flurry of butterflies, they circled in a spiral around her like a shoal of fish. She was getting stronger. Her eyes were closed, lined with concentration. Her mind was focused, inhabiting all of their minds—her arms disappearing into paper-thin wings.If she could just keep the swirl flowing for a few more minutes—it could be her longest swirl yet. The whispers in the forest began encouraging her. She hadn’t seen them yet. Who were they?She couldn't help it; she peeked. Nobody there. Curiosity had broken the flow. ...

“SNIFFILIS !” by Mike Williams

Submitted to Contest #48

It all started at an early age, but it had gone unnoticed for years. Her parents and any related adults simply ignored it if they even saw it at all. Her friends surely witnessed it, but thought it was perfectly normal. Sometimes it would benefit her older brother, and on some occasion it would drive him crazy. As she grew older, it became more anchored in her persona. Her second grade school teacher, Mrs. McCarthy, had thought it was a bit unusual, but only noted it in the back of her mind. When Kathy was in third ...

“Zen and Zealots” by Jessica Tomaselli

Submitted to Contest #48

I know what you are thinking, what you are feeling, but I don’t know who I am or how I can do what I can do. I know you probably think I am immoral or corrupt based on the people I spend time with - criminals and politicians. And maybe you are right. Sometimes I still have trouble sorting out everyone’s opinions including my own. Are these your feelings or mine? And does it matter? Why should mine be more valid than yours? Is anyone truly objective? Is that possible? I don't think so. We all have our own motivations. I just try to live...

“Can't Break a Leg” by Ray Paramo

Submitted to Contest #48

“Shit, shit, shit.” Thomas repeated the word over and over again as tapped away at the button for the crosswalk. “Wait.” The automated voice fired the word back at him. It was deep, dry, and disinterested. Also damn annoying. So, Thomas’ finger kept tapping away. “Shit.” “Wait.” “Shit.” “Wait.” It took an eternity for the light to change, and as soon as it did, Thomas bolted across Lemon Street. Of all the days to be running late. And, of course, the Holland Briggs Theatre was the furthest building from Student Parkin...

“All She Ever Wanted” by Elizabeth Moore

Submitted to Contest #48

The line at the coffee shop snaked through the tables and chairs all the way to the door. Tara walked to the front, and when she arrived the person next in line turned to her. “Hey, go ahead of me. I can see you’re in a rush.” No murmur of dissent came from behind. Tara thanked him and put in her order. Walking from the cash register with her coffee, a man stood up from his table. “Here, take mine. I’ve been here a while and you look like you need a seat.” She smiled her thanks and settled in. The ladies speaking loudly at the nex...

“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,...

“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...

“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 Test” by Sarah Wang

Submitted to Contest #48

Well, there was once a little girl. She lived with her parents in a humble home. They weren’t special, or so they thought. “Camilla, wake up!” exclaimed her dad, “You’re going to be late to your first day of school!” “Five...more...minutes..” I croaked. I was so tired yesterday night I snuck my copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire. I got so caught up that I finished, and slept really late. I heard my dad’s footsteps as he walked away. Ah, finally some peace, I thought, and then went back to sleep. Sometime later, I was awakened ...

“The Quiet Storm” by Leah Redwood

Submitted to Contest #48

The Quiet Storm by Leah M. Redwood “ROAR!” was the sound of the booming voices chanting, rhyming, singing mixed together like a syncopated symphony. The music was poppin’ and the crowd was on their feet swaying, dancing with one another and everybody was having a good time. A rainbow sea of faces and everyone holding each other made Emily feel proud to live in Los Angeles. She had gone to a reggae festival with her coworkers. The six of them were bored to tears Monday through Friday doing data entry for a medical l...

“THE GENIE” by Vidit Mahajan

Submitted to Contest #48

It was a time of peace and harmony among neighbors, amongst different races and countries. It was in this time that David Cooper was born. Just as the children of his age, he had encountered superhero movies and television series and had quite a lot of favorites. Superheroes had such an impact on David that he wished to have a super power of his own and save the damsel in distress. Fast forwarding a few years, when David turned ten, his world was about to change drastically. On the day of his birthday, like any normal family they were going...
