“Fiamma” by John Kieffer

Submitted to Contest #64

Phobias are such an odd phenomenon, an irrational fear of one particular thing. My particular fear was pyrophobia, a fear of fire. It’s strange; however, I cannot explain why I am so afraid of fire. Throughout my entire life, I have never been burned, but there was something about fire made my blood run cold. You never really realize how much a phenomenon like fire affects our lives until you have a crippling fear of it. Camping becomes a lot more miserable, mostly because everyone else wants to have a campfire in the evening for the ambian...

Two happy young adults were, preparing for their third anniversary. Alex had surprised Ryder with an Apartment in Asheville the year before.

Baby, I just want to go by myse...

“I'm sorry, Jahan-Ara.” by Anurag Halbe

Submitted to Contest #64

Dear JIt has been a year already. I have sent you over a dozen letters, received none in return. The dagger of this void, of this emptiness, buries itself much deeper into the recesses of my heart than any hot-knife words of yours ever could have. I have grown so terribly weary of swimming around aimlessly in this landlocked sea of black desolation that my life has now become.I know that it’s all my fault. I cannot blame my family; I am responsible for them. I was responsible for them. I deserve this gut-wrenching pain; there is no one more ...

“GIVE IT TIME” by MALIK 1

Submitted to Contest #64

Every time I look at her, it makes me want her even more. ‘Elle’ is the definition of perfect for me. She’s flawless, beautiful, innocent, sweet, and cute. I might go out of adjectives but she won’t go out of her qualities. Well, we have never had a conversation but I see her every day at my boarding school, yes! I am in a boarding school it’s a pretty fancy one, filled with a lot of history but let’s talk about my life first. So, I tried a lot of time to make up my guts to talk to her but every time I get lost in my dreams of her and she va...

“The fire across the way” by Stephen Timm

Submitted to Contest #64

It happened like this. Jon Dooks was making dinner at home in his third-floor apartment. He got around on a wheelchair just fine. It had been perhaps 30 years since the accident and by now he was quite used to living on his own, even though at times he wished he had someone there to cook and care for him. Not a maid or a mother (who fussed over him whenever she visited) but a young beautiful woman. Dooks, you could say, had just about given up on ever finding one. For people like him, he thought, you had to be grateful that you were just ali...

“Dramatic Love” by Dede K.

Submitted to Contest #64

A woman entered the restaurant. She paused just inside the door- making sure everyone had time to catch a glimpse. Her well-manicured nails pushed her charcoal hair behind her ear as she strolled toward the bar. Each man locked eyes with her as she picked up her compact to check her makeup. A tall man in a dark suit approached her with a smirk.. She looked away while raising her hand, “It’s Jessica.” The man took her hand and kissed it. “I’m Brandon.” He brushed his fingers through his slicked back hair and squinted as ...

“Testing Love ” by Willa Piper

Submitted to Contest #64

My father hated my boyfriend. Said Ryan Hotchkiss didn't deserve me. That I came from a family with an impeccable reputation. And that Ryan's family was tainted. When I asked why he didn't answer. How did he expect me to listen to him when he gave me no reasons to? It didn't help that I fought with Ryan this afternoon. Who could blame me? After all, he had the reputation of a player. A heartbreaker. Maybe my father had a point. Truth is, I kept waiting for the moment he left me for someone more adventurous. More fun. Instead of being wit...

“From the ashes ” by Elzaan Botha

Submitted to Contest #64

Words: Approximately 2600 FROM THE ASHES By Elzaan Botha They say that in life there is a defying moment. A moment that bends you and breaks you. A moment where you must choose and face the consequences of that choice. I had a choice, and at the time I had thought it to be the right one. But as my feet padded down the dark cobblestone pathway, I knew that in reality there had been no choice. # W...

“Flaring in and out” by Kay V

Submitted to Contest #64

Flaring in and out “Are you still not ready Siya? We’ll be late for the ‘puja’, even Sam is waiting for crackers” ,yelled my mom from the veranda. I was almost done; and actually quite excited for this ‘diwali’ as after 4 years I got the chance to celebrate it with my family. I had the flight post midnight to rejoin my office so we had to wrap up the celebrations fast. I dressed pretty lavishly though; in traditional ‘saree’, studded with beads and embroidered with silver ...

A fire, the whole cottage was on fire, the scream was deafening to the whole scene, but alas no one to hear. The person stuck could hear the people outside attempting to put out the fire. But they could not gauge the intensity of the fire inside the cottage. The person was staying in the cottage for a few days as a relaxed stay after a hectic work schedule. A spark triggered a huge fire which started engulfing the whole cottage. Just then the...

“RAJANIKANT” by SHYAMALA BHUVANACHANDRAN

Submitted to Contest #64

Murugesan was surprised to see a photo of a plain clothed person in the pooja room adorned with garland and vermillion dots. He asked Mohini. He already knew who he was. But what made him to be in the special puja room was only a matter of suspense. “Oh! Uncle he is Rajneesh. We hold him in high esteem. He happened to save our lives and also helped us in getting married. He is not alive. Otherwise we will be falling at his feet daily.” “Strange. I found his photo adorned in Ramani’s house also. They also glorified him to a status of a godma...

Submitted to Contest #64

I still see the flames from that fateful day. That was the day I knew I truly loved him. My feelings for Eric had changed much in the nearly eight months we were courting. Our parents had arranged the match. I didn’t care for him then. He was a spoiled rich heir to his father’s fortune. My family was close to ruin. As the only child it was up to me to marry well. Eric had no idea about the struggles many people go through about money. His ignorance irritated me to no end. On the first day I met him he made a comment about the ...
