“Wail of a Tale” by Aidan Gould

Submitted to Contest #48

Babies are often described as ‘little miracles’. Mostly by their parents and therefore their grandparents, but nonetheless, they are considered to be heavenly gifts. New parents won’t stop talking about how wonderful their lives have become because of their baby. How their day gets blessed just from small things like the way the baby laughs at a piece of dust or rolls over into a wall and instead of crying just keeps rolling. Dozens of small, seemingly insignificant moments piled up into impossible to replace memories...

“Tomorrow's Child” by Angel Brookins

Submitted to Contest #48

This is my prophecy. I was in a meeting room at the Oak Hill Community Center, when a tiny sliver of a woman stood at a podium. Her head was barely visible to the people in the fellowship. A sign reading Superheroes Anonymous hung behind her on the wall. With her auburn hair in a messy bun, and dressed in an oversized red silk wind breaker, blue jeans, and sneakers, she was ageless. Slender as a rod, it was easy to imagine her blowing away in a stiff wind. 'My name is Berdi and I'm a superhero.' Along wi...

Once there was a goddess named Lisuga she was kind, loving, the savior of the world, the reason the stars and humans are alive and energy is flowing in the space but here the story is incomplete because on earth people of every continent experienced massive shock researchers are finding the cause of it and next day it was revealed that the two biggest stars know by humankind collided and produced a huge impact in space which was experienced even by the earth.

“Storms and Shadows ” by Evi Lodge

Submitted to Contest #48

The message had been clear and simple: For the answers, find Rowan. It would have been helpful if Luna knew who Rowan was. She gazed up at the dark sky and had the urge to curl into the abyss of shadows that she used to take comfort in. She looked ahead to a city she could no longer recognise, and somehow, she knew exactly where to go. Luna had no past memory of who she was besides her name, but the one thing she did know is that she had the ability to manipulate shadows. She felt her hands tremble, slithers of shadow mo...

“Secret Power” by My Name

Submitted to Contest #48

“Can you control fire?” “No.” “Can you breathe underwater?” “No.” “Can you become invisible? Now that’d be cool. You could sneak into a girl’s public bath–“ “Geez! No!” Lester looked at his friend in utter disgust. And he wonders why none of the girls want to hang out with him. “When are you gonna stop asking stupid questions?” “When you tell me what the heck your superpower is!” Tim casually put his arm around Lester as they walked on the way to their favorite fast food restaurant. “Dude, your 16th birthday was last week. It’s b...

“Rainyday's curse” by Eccentrical Spikethespyder

Submitted to Contest #48

It all started with rain. Then slowly a nightmare formed. People who don’t understand would think what is happening is a gift. News flash its not. I would do anything thing to get rid of this. Its my personal hell. Something follows me. Today a have a bad feeling that someone is going…. Rein's writing was interrupted by the sound of his sister’s voice. He quickly hid the journal he was writing in. “ Rein are you ready?” she asked. It was their little cousins birthday that day so they were visiting their uncle’s ho...

“"The Do-Over Man"” by David Snook

Submitted to Contest #48

He came into the room like a crisp professional, with his pressed suit and gleaming black shoes. He was nothing like the cartoonish detectives that are presented in movies, be they fat, sweating men or the ones that look like they have spent the last three days wearing the same clothes and sleeping on some dusty cot in a dank corner of the precinct building. No, he was clean and well-mannered and that was the thing that Kurt noticed first. “I got it in Iraq during the first Pe...

“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...

“Can I Get A Refill” by Ava Anderson

Submitted to Contest #48

All was calm during the still night. Light snow gently pitter-pattered against the windows. A slight breeze softly drifted through the sycamore trees. The light of the full moon kissed the cheek of little Brooklyn as she slept peacefully in her princess bed. Sleep was not easy to come by these days, so with all of the peace and quiet, she drifted into a deep slumber in no time. Sleep did not last long as Brooklyn was suddenly awakened by a loud CRASH! She jerks upright in her bed, shook by the jarringness of the sound, but already aware of w...

“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...

“A Day in my Life” by Zoey West

Submitted to Contest #48

I hadn’t come to terms with it. The fact that he had left me and didn’t say goodbye. I knew it wasn’t the end of the world, but it almost felt as if it was. I wanted to scream at the world and make it feel exactly what I was. But, I knew that that wasn’t possible. It was just as impossible as him coming back. He had left us and he wasn’t coming back. Just as I was finishing my journal entry, my mother called me downstairs. As I walked down, I could hear her pacing and mumbling under her breath. Once I reached the bottom of the stairs...

“Find my Way Home” by Kevin Robertson

Submitted to Contest #48

Ultraman slammed him down on the building again. The beating was legendary; he deserved it, to be honest. The Gnome had taken his mother hostage and Ultraman pounded him like he’d killed her. The most lethal gadgets of the diminutive villain strewn about the top of the Daily Crier, the Gnome was down to two tricks: A rock that he was told could possibly kill Ultraman, or the button. The button, a portal creation device the Gnome had recently built, sat relatively untested on his chest, and though several times he could’ve used it, he was...

“Unlocked” by Dana Schellings

Submitted to Contest #48

I must have stared at the door to the doctor’s office for a good five minutes. It was made of wood, with the number 308 stenciled in black letters. Century Schoolbook font, I think. I’m a Times New Roman girl myself. Call me a traditionalist. I also noticed that the brass doorknob could use a good polishing. How many hands had to turn the knob to wear it down like that? Amazing where your mind wanders when you’re trying to avoid something unpleasant. Going through that door could change my life for the worse, and I didn’t know if I could han...

“Heat Seeker” by William La Fleur

Submitted to Contest #48

"Heatseeker" By William A. La Fleur Suddenly I found myself two steps into a busy street staring at a semi-truck coming straight for me at full speed. A man texting bumped into me. As soon as he did I shoved him back onto the curb, he fell on his ass and just as the truck was about to hit me I found myself on the top of one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. In front of me was a worker tottering on the edge. We both looked down and saw that he had not clipped his tether properly to his harness. He fell back completely off balance...

“The Thoughts of the People ” by Carter Langdon

Submitted to Contest #48

You know, it’s not every day that you’re able to read other people’s minds. In fact, most people will probably never be able to know what other people think. Well, that’s where I come in. My name is Redacted and I think I’ll let you in on the lifestyle of someone who hears the thoughts of the masses. It wasn’t a gift from birth or anything, It just slowly developed while I was In junior high, going through a normal school system in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. The first time I remember actually hearing it I had just gotten home from ...
