“Second Childhood ” by Katina Foster

Submitted to Contest #55

"Is Gail coming?" Louise asked. "How should I know?" Marjorie answered, shrugging. Louise checked her watch and sighed. She missed her old watch. This bright pink plastic and nylon thing looked like it came out of a gumball machine. "I'm here!" Gail said, climbing the rope to the tree house and panting dramatically. "Could we please meet in my neighborhood next time?" Gail sat cross legged on the floor of the tree house, across from the other two girls. "No," Louise and Marjorie answered in unison. "Jinx!" the g...

“Grandpa's Last Gift” by S. Closson

Submitted to Contest #55

When my grandfather died, I remember my family and I only having the rest of that sorrowful evening to lament his loss before having to appear composed and proper for his funeral service the following day. I’m still not entirely sure how we managed it, but we did. I could say the same about any number of circumstances that have occurred throughout my life. “You must chin up and carry onwards, dear Victoria,” my dad would always say. “The sorrows of life will not wait for you.” I wasn't sure if I had the heart to do what was ...

“The Initiation” by Jane Andrews

Submitted to Contest #55

Dolores Clayberg taps quietly on the unassuming front door, hoping that she hasn’t been followed. Seconds later, the door inches open and a voice whispers “Password?” “Gucci.” It’s a ridiculous password, but some of the others had insisted they needed a link with their everyday selves and so this simple five-letter word has become their entry ticket to a sleazy world where they indulge in their most shameful pleasure away from the judgemental gaze of anyone else who knows them. Dolores struggles now to remember which one of her fellow secr...

A typical physics class, Shailaja teacher was continuing her class on big bang theory, she wasn't much concerned whether or not the children are grasping the class. She was trying to make the class as much as interesting as possible, the backbenchers were eating mixtures and other snacks in the middle of the class. The teacher moved to the theory of singularity .' Around 21.3 million years ago the universe that we see as today was formed from a singularity and that is what we call as big ban theory.', these words seem to have interested one ...

“E. B. SECRET SOCIETY” by Kate MacDonald

Submitted to Contest #55

Books have always played a huge part in my life, but never more so than in the story I am about to tell you. I will take you with me to an age of innocence. The time was 1958, the place was Malta. My Father joined the Royal Navy when I was an infant. To me, he was a stranger who appeared every two or three years with nice presents, stayed for a couple of weeks then disappeared again. It wasn't until I was older that I equated the eventual appearance of two little sisters with the nice man's visits. He was stationed ...

“A Thousand Shining Stars” by Hailey S.

Submitted to Contest #55

Truthfully, I never thought it would come to this. Surely I wasn’t one of those kids that stayed out late after dark, roaming the streets with their pack of, as my parents would disdainfully put it, “hoodlums”. I never saw myself as the kind of girl who would dare to attempt at getting anything past the ever-watchful parental eyes that loomed in every corner of her life. No, I’ve always been a rule-follower, a weekly church-goer, an A-plus student. But then again, even God’s most perfect souls have their secrets. Now, I’m not saying I’m a...

“Squint! Do you trust me?” by John K Adams

Submitted to Contest #55

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? What the hell is summer, anyway? It sounded like words to Germ, but the random string of sounds made no sense. Write a logarithm. Transmit some useful information. He wondered, how can I remember something with no context? Several days ago, his friend Welt, pulled him aside. Welt spoke so quietly, Germ needed to lean in to hear. Welt whispered, “Remember it. Tell no one. Got it?” “Okay, sure. Why tell anyone? It makes no sense, why would anyone care?” Welt demonstrated an intricate handshake. ...

“Capital S, All Italics.” by Jessica C

Submitted to Contest #55

There is no greater punishment for a life lived poorly than having to move to the suburbs. I believe Socrates said that. Or maybe it was one of the Kardashians. I don’t quite remember. What I do know is that we have been living in this neighborhood for 336 hours, and I am convinced that I must have done terrible, unspeakable things in a past life to deserve this torture; this Saab-driving, dinner party-hosting, PTA-fundraising torture. The Suburbs (capital S, all italics, said in a nasally whine) is where corporate careers and fo...

“Deceptions and Delusions Part 2 Maze Runner FanFic” by Vanellope Von Schweetz 🍭

Anne woke to find that her soft pillow was not under her head. She put her hand around the paper pillow she had instead. "Ow!" she pulled back her hand and opened her eyes. She bolts upright and inspected her hand. "Man, a paper cut!" She looked around her surroundings. Aphrodite's homework laid finished in front of her. Chuck busted the door open, making Anne jump, causing a cup of water to spill on the one page she was working on. "Chuck!" Her eye's glared daggers at him. Chuck's eyes were filled with terror like a scared child...

“Malware” by Sandra Claros

Fine. So see you later, at the meeting – said a kind of man in black , hanging out his phone with slow and methodically movements synchronically performed. That man took his briefcase, and left the office he was working in, at exactly six o’clock in that hot summer afternoon. He took the elevator pressed the button to go upstairs, and stopped exactly in between the eight and ninth floor, using his optical sensors to achieve it. He opened the emergency frame on the ceiling of the machine, and opened a secret compartment, where a ul...

A Secret Society “So it is Thursday night again, the night of Thor”. George then did his often exhibited imitation of the Nordic god, acting like the mop that he just picked up with his right hand was a bolt of lightning. Tina laughed lightly as she did every Thursday night when he said and did pretty much the same routine Then Tina replied, “So you and the boys will be going out to the pub tonight as usual, then?” He smiled as she was yet again allowing him to have fun with his friends, not complaining like he suspected that some o...

“Proof of Life” by Annie James

Submitted to Contest #55

The door closed with a faint click. The morning sun streamed through the window, softly filtered through gauzy pink curtains. The room was decorated with pastel peach, pink, and white furniture. The walls and carpet were a light peach color. The leader raised his head and waited for the footsteps to recede down the hall, then silence. His sharp ears told him that the group had the solitude needed to conduct their meeting. He dragged his chair under the window and jumped on top of it, where the others could see him. They lined up on ...

Meeting 1 “Today is the first meeting of our secret society. You all know why you are here, right?” Everyone nodded. “Anyway, let me see what you guys can do.” Chloe said. “Astrid, show me what you got.” Astrid stepped forward. She put her hands out, and nothing happened. “It’s okay Astrid, just imagine it happening, then do it.” Chloe encouraged. Astrid closed her eyes and put her hands out for a second time, but this time water shot from her hands. “I did it!” she shouted. Once Chloe had taught Astrid the basic...

“A Room Full of Secrets” by Kate Enoch

Submitted to Contest #55

The soft, pink comforter in Lilly’s room is warm and a nice contrast form the shelves in Harvard’s Toy Shop. This is my first night out of the store and I’m excited for the change of scenery.The day had started like all the other’s in Harvard’s. At about 6:30 the sun’s early rays would stretch through the windows and linger on my shelf. The other stuffed animals and I would fluff our tails and straighten our ears in preparation for the day, each one of us praying that a kid would skip though and pick us off the shelf.I had been sitting there...
