“Dancing by witchlight” by Lauren Smith

Submitted to Contest #29

Celestine rubbed mindlessly at her unfocused, exhausted eyes; the honey scented candles propped around her burnt down almost to their wicks. She had to get this done; she had to finish the poem, otherwise she would miss her chance to say what she so needed for her heart to let up its oppressive aching. Love. That was what she was in, and out, and throughout. Love was all consuming, all being and omniscient in its pursuit of her. She was a plaything in its game, a pawn to move to it’s liking. Love had plucked her up in its flexing ever change...

“Falling in Love After Falling Apart” by Samantha Curry

Submitted to Contest #29

How could things be so out of my control? My entire life is turning upside down. Things aren't ever going to be the same. I sat in my eighth grade math class glaring at the test facing me from my desk. I was rereading question number one so much that I began seeing double and triple letters all morphing together and then spreading out onto the page. A tear welled up in my eye and I almost let it fall until I heard a deep voice behind me say, "Do you have an extra pencil?" My thoughts were so deep that I didn't know how to answer his qu...

Sonny's POVIt was a cold Monday morning, and I was on my way to work. Part way there, I realised how stupid it was not to wear a coat in the middle of winter. I was freezing cold, and I had wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to keep warm.Just as I was contemplating going back home and grabbing a coat, the overwhelming smell of coffee and hot chocolate from a nearby cafe drew me in. I stopped in my tracks, smelling the beautiful aromas of caffeine before I finally went inside.The warmth hit me as soon as I stepped inside and I let ou...

Submitted to Contest #29

At what age, do you think it's appropriate for a girl or a boy to know and feel the word ,``love". At what age did you realize what love is? I am a girl and I am sixteen years old ,although I don't really look like I am sixteen years old ,to be frank although I hate to admit it, I look like a twelve year old girl or at least thirteen? I look just the way my sister looked in that picture she took at her thirteenth birthday party. Except I am not wearing a plastic pink crown or pink sparkly dress or a sash saying,now a teenager, or a little me...

“Where the Fireflies Grow” by Karen Jeter

Submitted to Contest #29

The stiff breeze lifted a strand of hair from her forehead, small sweat droplets causing the other strands to stick profusely to her skin. The sun glared high overhead as she stood there waiting on Tara. Ever since the two girls had turned sixteen, Tara had been obsessed with her appearance, refusing to so much as walk outside to get the mail without looking flawless.Emily sighed with relief as she saw her best friend’s front door open briefly and close, Tara emerging between the hedges that flanked the sidewalk as if she was on the red carp...

“In Focus” by Isabelle Espaldon

Submitted to Contest #29

Roses scattered on the table waiting for their thorns to be taken away. In her nineteenth year, Avery never saw herself spending her summers after high school working for her mother. She did not mind the work even enjoyed the expected repetition of being a florist. Yet, she always found that she would rather be doing something else. Something that would be much more exciting and fun. The problem is she did not necessarily know what exactly she should be doing. That is why she took a gap year in the first place. So far, the only thing she has...

“Lost Love ” by Julie Frey

Submitted to Contest #29

"Girl, are you ready yet?” Myrna impatiently asked through the phone. Thank goodness Myrna could not hear Janie rolling her eyes or else the control freak would peak its ugly head. Myrna was a long term friend since Kindergarten and now they were in the summer, before becoming seniors in high school. Even though it had only been a year Janie was gone from her hometown, her friend, Myrna now seemed a stranger. “I’ll be ready soon. If I’m not there, just go ahead without me. I’ll meet you there”, Janie said, tryin...

Sally just finished her date with her best friend’s brother. It did not go well at all, he was so quiet and awkward. No more than five words were exchanged the whole date, which lasted an excruciating two hours. They had planned on meeting in a local bar that was open until one am. The date would have gone on for even more hours if his work had not called him because they needed him to come in earlier than usual the next day. So he had left and Sally stayed , she had thought why waste a good drink. “Oh wow!” she dragged her fingers thr...

“Leila” by Amanda McNally

Leila had had enough. She was constantly being left somewhere, lost. Until she was found and sent to another shelter. Always, lost and found, lost and found. Never kept. Leila was a Border collie with a beautiful, long, black coat and two different colored eyes. She was also missing one of her back legs because it got caught in a fence once when she was lost. Leila had thought the time she was found with her leg caught in the fence, the person would keep her. But she di...

“Slave of love” by VA Writes

Submitted to Contest #29

Her name is Sevasna. She’s 28 years old. She lived with her parents and three sisters. She got lots of friends, from different circles. From each of them, she believed she gained a nemesis. Nemesis, not because she can’t win over them, but because the animosity couldn’t be settled. Each of them has a silent war waged since Sevasna corrected a grammar, called out their bluff, or simply annoyed with her spirits. But then, they’re still friends. Sevasna pretends she doesn’t see their hatred, but she sees it, as clear as the blue sky. She snub i...

“First and Last” by Benji SIlver

Submitted to Contest #29

Imagine a girl, blond hair, blue eyes. Capriciously placed freckles. Pretty enough to be likeable but not enough to be recognized. She goes to a school where good grades are easy to obtain, but good friends aren’t. The sound of the school bus echoed in her ears, waking her from her momentary daze. She grabbed her bag and ran out the door, reaching the bus moments before the door closed behind her. Ten minutes later, she was at school. Getting off the bus, she saw her boyfriend standing beside the building waiting for her. “Hello,...

“The "Firsts" Curse” by Megan Burkhart

Submitted to Contest #29

I know it’s stupid, but I thought I’d have my first kiss by the time I turned sixteen. Not that I need the assurance that I’m loved or beautiful…I just really hate firsts. Well, let me rephrase that. I have a terrible track record with firsts. My first day of kindergarten I threw up all over Emily Frank’s lunch. To this day, she avoids me, especially during the lunch hour. On my first day of middle school, I blanked when the teacher had us share a fun fact about ourselves. In the midst of my panic, I blurted that when I get sick, I’m c...
