“Rose in Bloom” by Anastazia Rudolph

Submitted to Contest #64

I can’t move.My body is completely numb. The world is nothing but darkness, a velvety black curtain stretching in every direction.Rose!What was that? The voice faded almost before I could hear it, lost in the infinite void. Once again there is silence.Rose, can you hear me? I hear it again, louder this time. The sound pierces through the inky veil, like an invisible hand dragging me up from the murky depths.Rose, wake up! Please wake up…..My eyes flutter open, immediately blinded by the sun’s bright light. Pain shoots through my body. My lun...

“The Christmas Horror” by Brianna Spinelli

Submitted to Contest #64

On a bright and snowy day, and Briggsville. Cassidy and her mother slowly stirred up a warm cup of hot chocolate. Cassidy was a tall, Blond headed girl, she had perfect window girls, with bright blue eyes and some stand out freckles. Cassidy was about 17 years old. Cassidy’s mother, joy, was an old woman about her 50s. She had very light tinted blonde hair, with few wrinkles on her face, but aging was noticeable. Their home was like a full-blown mansion. Everything in the house was so organized and put together, it was so decorated and up-to...

Before Vector could realize how long the night was going to last, he was already regretting going to the bar.

Actually, it was supposed to help him keep his mind away from the marriage issue, which has been scratching his thoughts for a couple of years now. Leah was passing for some mental health troubles that, even loving her so much, too much, he was starting to feel bad about his own feelings concerning the problematic she has been dragging...

"She was married off to a man thrice her age. Obviously, without her consent. She was kind of paralysed to the situation... she was young.. very young... and a captive of the affluent. It was, as a consequence of her father's debt what she had to pay off through her marriage. After some days of her wedding...

“Irresistable” by Julia Janus

Submitted to Contest #64

The hot smoke was making my skin burn. I saw a man in a fire suit. He must have been looking for me. I knew I was probably the only one left in this house. It was my rich friend’s house. She wasn’t really my friend, she was just kind of an acquaintance. Her family was rich and sort of well-known. At least, she was well-known. She had some sort of social media platform where she does interviews and challenges for her followers. I wouldn’t know I don’t have social media. ...

“Love Transcends” by Riley Alexander

Submitted to Contest #64

The night air was not so much nippy as it was downright biting cold yet still, Hannah drove with the windows down. Well her window at least - her passengers, hugging themselves tightly, had theirs all the way up. “Hannah! It is freezing would you please roll up the window?!” Katherine, her sister, pleaded again to no avail. “It’s just a little nippy,” Hannah shrugged with a smile as the wind washed over her face. She could never understand how people cannot appreciate a beautiful, cool night. “Mother nature’s air conditioning. What could...

“Love is Fire” by Eric Deitch

Submitted to Contest #64

It was a balmy night in the desert city of Doha, Qatar. The winds were hollowing the sand storm had come in and made the night sky glow orange under a full moon and the bright lights of the metropolis. He packed a bag for an overnight stay across town. There was just one stop to make; their favorite Thai food restaurant. Hot curries and delicious dumplings awaited him. He got his takeaway and headed to her apartment. It was going to be a magical evening of great food and a movie or two. He ascended the stairs to the 5th floor with anticipati...

“The Fire Wizard” by Anuththara Peiris

Submitted to Contest #64

It was the week’s end and the colonel entered his cavernous retreat of a home almost at midnight. It hasn’t been five minutes since he’d finished the previous week and he was already on the brink of another. What a bother, he thought and slumped down on the grand sofa. The fire he’d lit this morning was still going. No wonder. It was a magic fire after all. His magic. You see, the colonel was a wizard. And a top ranking one at that; serving under the government of Grenamonowa. Some would call him a prodigy. To be so highly ranked at the...

“A Smoky Awakening ” by Gracie Uresk

Submitted to Contest #64

CRASH! I jolted awake after hearing a booming noise. Once I was up, I started to smell the overwhelming sense of smoke, and the fact that it was so much warmer than normal. After the initial haziness of waking up was gone, I realized something. The house was on fire. As soon as the thought got through my mind, I turned to my girlfriend. I tried to shake her awake, but at first, since she’s such a deep sleeper, it didn’t work. “Abi!” I shouted, but no response. “Abby, love!” Still nothing “ABIGAIL.” I hated scaring her, but she ne...

“Flames and Anniversary ” by Olisadebe O

Submitted to Contest #64

Her head laid on his chest, listening to his regular heartbeat softly thud against her right ear, she felt his warm and cool breath on her forehead as he inhaled and exhaled. The scent of his sweet cologne clogged her nostrils and his gentle hands delicately ran through the loose curls of her sandy blond hair. The moment was tranquil. “Can you believe it’s our second wedding anniversary tomorrow?” his voice was low and raspy, but joy stalled within. “mhm,” she had said, her eyelids heavy with sleep as she struggled to keep them open. Silen...

“Forged Through Fire ” by Brittany Smith

Submitted to Contest #64

Streaks of orange and pink paint the sky, a sunset worth remembering. A gentle breeze swaying the palm leaves and kissing my cheeks. I swing in the hammock, content never to leave paradise. How did I ever survive life without knowing the peace of island time? "Mojito miss?" The teasing whisper tingles my senses, warm breath tickling my ear. I reach out to grab the drink from Elijah's hand but he holds it out of reach. "Payment miss?" The chuckle is low and deep, coming from his heart in genuine amusement. I tip my head and plant a ki...

“Don’t you see Tommy? If we cant have l’manburg, then Schaltt shouldn't!” Wilbur asseverated with a hint of insanity in his voice “Wilbur.. This isn’t right! I-” Tommy stammered as he looked up in disbelief at his friend. He pulled out his crossbow. “I can’t let you do this.” A sandy-blonde male stepped out of the shadows and between the two disputing males, Tommy stopped in his tracks as the interfering man held a menacing aura with his netherite sword and armour, he grinned wickedly. “I can step in for Wilbur, Tom...

“A FIERY GOODBYE” by Emmeline Bisiikwa

Submitted to Contest #64

The next morning, Steve woke early. There was smoke in the air and I wondered if the cabin was on fire. Once he opened the door, we saw that the forest was on fire. This made our exit hastier. I followed behind him, resigned to our fate. The leaves of the tree closest to the house were on fire, and the flames spread quickly, first to that tree then others surrounding. We raced through the forest, trying to exit before the fire reached us. The leaves were on fire, and the fire spread quickly to the branches. As the forest burned, it felt...

“Flamestaken” by Minehel Fable

Submitted to Contest #64

France, 1487. “Release the latch! Please, I mean no harm!” Banging and rattling echoed from the enormous, arched egress of The Church. The entire lobby was empty. A few clusters of candlesticks that surrounded honorary alters was all that breathed. “PLEEEEAASE!!” The voice began to beg. Suddenly, wish granted. The large, oak doorways creaked and groaned open in slow motion. A young man, pale and anxiously confused, appeared from the edge of the door, white knuckles clutching the wood just below his chin. Before he could utter a word or ste...
