“Secret-S Society” by Madisson James

Submitted to Contest #55

The clock struck 9:31 pm Everyone of the 4 members of the Secret-S Society sat nervously in their seats. They were in an old storage room on the ground floor of the HomeAway Residence. They had been meeting in this fashion for over six months now without a hiccup. Something was up. “I knew this was a bad idea from the start.” John said throwing an invisible curve ball against the opposite wall to him. John was a retired first baseman for the Platinum Backs. “Be patient John. We ain’t tryina steal bases here. I am sure they will be...

“The secret God's society.” by Len Mooring

Submitted to Contest #55

The secret God’s society. “Kranoor, you haven’t changed a bit, or is that a new body you have there? Project yourself forward so I can scan you. You kraal-dog, you did the deed. So what’s the infra-structure guaranteed for?” Kranoor acknowledged that indeed was the case “I notice you’ve upgraded your sensors too, Miitow. Can I get a set teli-ported?” Two old friends were coming together and waiting for the rest of the team to manifest. Ten beings had been looking after the universe for a few million years and every fifty th...

“Associative Identity Disorder” by Joshua Scott Hotchkin Wordpress.dungherder.com

Submitted to Contest #55

The summer meeting of the Guerrilla Psychology Society (GPS) is taking place right in the open, as they always do, at an IHOP just outside of Omaha. The members are all influential players in the field who have joined forces to correct social psychological trends before they threaten the fabric of human civilization, which happens far more often than the average Josephine is aware of. Included in the meeting are luminaries like Rebecca Mulhooney, who created the empath craze - and Jason Swelte, the man who had put the term 'narcissism' on th...

“The Aetherius Secret Society” by Blane Britt

Submitted to Contest #55

Genuine secret societies have existed for centuries, conducting their business in darkened back rooms and more often than not, exerting a mysterious influence upon our culture. I often times wondered if they’re so secret then why does anyone or mostly everyone knows or heard about them. Through history there have been many secret societies and conspiracy theories about those societies. From political organizations to college frats, these groups require their members to conceal their activities and sometimes their identities, from the publi...

“The Circle” by Shreya S

Submitted to Contest #55

The hooded figures stood silently in the dark, facing each other in a tight circle. There were seven of them in all, hands still against their loose black robes, only their light breaths disrupting the silence in the place. Dust swirled in the air between them, particles visible through the beam of moonlight that shone through the glass pane above them. On the wooden floor, a strange contraption lay at the centre of their circle, at first looking simply like a colourful box, but on further observation seeming to have grooves cut into in...

“The Book Lovers” by David Dicaire

Submitted to Contest #55

The Book Lovers Blake Smith walked with purpose down the street on the cold autumn night with his hand in his pockets and the black coat turned full up for added protection. The leaves danced around him practicing some kind of private shuffle. A group of teens nodded his way thinking of causing trouble, but he was gone before they could make a move. He turned the corner and the library building appeared almost jumping in his face. It was an intimidating structure and looked like a castle where Dracula lived or a creepy man...

The young man walked up the path to the massive mansion in the countryside. His real name was Peter Kowalski, but to the other members of his group, he was the Andromedas. This was his thirteenth meeting with the secret organization this year, The Astralists. Andromedas’ father had been a member and his father before him, allowing Peter to enter the brotherhood on his eighteenth birthday. Wives, children, friends, and bosses were to be kept in the dark about the society. ...

“The Tigers” by Barbara Burgess

Submitted to Contest #55

My brother’s toys were always better than mine. He had an electric train set. It was enormous. Dad built it for him. It filled our conservatory. I loved to watch the trains go around, through the tunnels at each end, past the two stations either side and back around again. Roger, that’s my brother’s name, used to stop the goods train and fill it up with coal, hay bales and cattle and then move the various trains into their sidings. It looked so much fun.I wasn’t allowed to touch it. I did once, when everyone was in the garden and the train d...

“Do-Gooders Society” by Debbie Ealer

Submitted to Contest #55

Each third Wednesday of every month a group of women met in secret. They said it was to eat and drink and when the men wandered off, the women got down to business. No notes would be taken for fear they would be found. Today the secret society of do-gooders would meet for their first meeting. They were eager to start helping but would accept no recognition for their kindness. It was all to be done under the cloak of darkness. The do-gooders sat down to discuss who they could help and what kind of help they thought would be needed. Sylvia s...

“The Masked Society” by D. Alfonso

Submitted to Contest #55

“You must wear this mask at all times,” the man ordered. I was pretty sure his name was Angelo something, but I wasn’t sure. He had talked really fast. We were seating in a café, a neutral location. I was a shifter, so I hired myself out to various jobs for other people. You could make a lot of money assuming someone else’s face. “Does it have anything to do with why you’re wearing a mask,” I questioned as I examined the material he gave me. It was a high quality ceramic with gold decoration. His own was more simple with designs etch...

“Heart of Gold” by Jᴇʀᴇᴍʏ Rᴏᴢᴇɴ ✍

Submitted to Contest #55

“If you follow the western bank of the southern branch of the eastern tributary of Garvin’s river, you will find an overgrown path leading north,” the old man, his hat drawn tightly down over his eyes so that his face was mostly in shadow. He took a pull on his cigarette, the cherry glowing bright orange and his wrinkled lips caressed the filter, trembling. “And?” I asked. The old man, I never did get his name, blew a plume of smoke into my face and smiled. It drew his face open like a skin curtain and through is crooked, yellowed teeth,...

“The Tattoo” by Patricia Green

Submitted to Contest #55

As the lightening flashed the road ahead lit up like a chandelier, the thunder crashed making Susie jump out of her skin. Susie was on her way to her Sister’s house and no storm was going to stop her getting there. Susie had found out something she needed to talk over with her Sister urgently. She could have phoned, but it seemed too important, to be using the phone, this had to be told to her face. (Ding, ding, ding) The petrol light started flashing at her. “Blast!” she thought. It was about 10kilometres to the next Petrol Station, ...

“The Sacred Keepers Of The Light Brigade” by Cindy Bennett

Submitted to Contest #55

I never felt like I belonged anywhere. I even felt alienated from my own family. My parents never did anything to make me feel this way. It was all me. With loving intentions, Michael and Mirella Paterson (my folks), tried sending me to various types of psychologists to help me to figure out where these thoughts and feelings were coming from. Of course therapy didn't work on me. I don’t know why it would when I didn't know what was wrong with me to begin with! I looked into alternate therapies ranging from the downright weird to so bizarre t...

“The Eagles” by Daisy Torres

Submitted to Contest #55

Something good was in the air. Walter didn't know what it was, but he sensed it as he crept out from behind a brick walled house, his feet walking the lines of sun-cast shadows along the base of his home. He felt a thrill of excitement within his chest as he scampered across the neighbor's yard and into Jimmy Hayworth's tree house. His friends were having their weekly meeting that summer day, when the golden waves of sunlight brushed over the trees and homes and glinted off of cars and bikes, and Samuel did not want to miss out on it. ...
