“Picasso summer” by Judy McIntosh

Submitted to Contest #16

Jenna sauntered through the leafy woods heading for the river. Summer was in early days and the warm breeze was scented with lilac blossoms. She had found a perfect path, winding through the forest filled with budding trees.Jenna and her dad had just moved into this rural town after the sudden death of her mother. She had been killed by a drunk driver last year.They had decided that a new start in a different town might be best for them.She now stood on the windy rock cliff, opening her arms to the panoramic view. White clouds scudded across...

“Forgotten Princess of the Silver Throne” by Alexandria Hodson

Submitted to Contest #16

I hadn’t expected the entire town to greet us when we’d arrived. I also hadn’t expected the cottage we had moved into to be so large. It sat beside the lake, its wood damp from the spray. There seemed to be no shortage of wind, a solemn cry echoing through the walls. I was pleased to find that my bedroom wasn’t the size of a closet. For some reason, the idea of no longer being in a city came with a picture of smaller everything. I was wrong. The dining room was about the size of the livi...

“My Favorite Color is Her” by Brianne Datiles

Submitted to Contest #16

Her hair? Softer than silk. Her lips? Even softer still. She is patient when most would be frustrated and she treats everyone with the same, beautiful honesty. I love the way her name flows from my lips and out for the world to behold. The echoes linger in my ears each time I say it- as if it were too holy to say so callously. She is my wife, and I have been married to her for twenty-three years. We met at a park. It was an uneven place with sloping hills everywhere. Not so easy to traverse. There I was, sitting at a bench, listening t...

“IDEAL: EVEN BEFORE AND NOW” by Leophel Ampatin

Submitted to Contest #16

It was a gathering and a celebration, youth day- where new sprout of seed dealing to its new environment. I was just a simple boy that knows nothing but to enjoy the life into its fullness. I saw you in a distant and I can even miss even a glimpse of you. My eyes keep dragging out to you. My heart beats feels like jumping out of my body and needed to draw near to you. I hesitantly ask your name by I am coward and my feet keep on retreating in war that I know I would never win. I am not confident until I ask your name to one of my friend that...

“I Miranda” by Albert Zygier

Submitted to Contest #16

I Miranda by Albert Zygier Sandy, a good friend of mine that works as a producer in one of the networks that I am a frequent guest on, invited me to a July 4 party in East Hampton at the home of her aunt and uncle, a mogul in the real estate business. Everybody who is anybody will be there. As it happened, I had just come back from an assignment in the Middle East, and after a few weeks traveling from one country to another I was worn out, so I accepted. Who knows, perhaps I might even find an interesting story just waiting for me there.&nb...

“Coloured Monkey ” by Michelle Iruobe

Submitted to Contest #16

The lady I had been staring at for so long that I feared for my eyes wore a red, shiny dress which fitted her curvy form perfectly; showing off her long, creamy legs as she sat with her legs crossed. She held a half-filled wine glass with slightly shaking hands—it’s dark-coloured content swirling in the transparent container as she laughed, throwing her head back and letting her hair fall in a golden cascade like an Atlantis waterfall down her bare back. A million thoughts churned in my head as I watched her. I thought of as...

“Storytime Bar” by Nechama Leitner

Submitted to Contest #16

My teacher once told us a story of a man who found himself stuck in a commercial freezer for 30 hours and survived. As I walk down this icy road attempting to pull this poor woolen blanket even tighter around my frozen shoulders--if that's possible, I feel absolutely zero hope for myself. How did that man survive? How the hell did he live like this for 30 hours? My feet are completely numb, and so I close my eyes. Maybe I can sleep while I walk along this icy road. I hold on to the blanket even tighter as I trip on a small stone catchin...

“Loves at first sight” by Sumaita Jabeen

Submitted to Contest #16

I yawn as I saunter out of my house ready to tackle the day. I walk towards the bus stop and wait for my bus as I give a once over in what I have with me. I have a strenuous job as a theatre manager. Plays are a big thing in “Once Upon A Land”. The prince and princesses that reigns the countries are usually the idols the plays are based on. Their love stories are something. I don’t get it. I don’t get those butterflies erupting in the stomach moments, the time stopping moments, everything being a blur except for the person standing in front ...

“Love At First Sight (Sort Of)” by Kemmy Blue

Submitted to Contest #16

True Love Isn’t Real. That is my rule of life. If you lower your expectations you won’t get hurt. You don’t look at somebody and immediately fall in love. I guess that’s what happens in those old Disney movies. But it’s about more than what you look like. There are other things you need to take into account. Personality Smarts Love for Life There is no such thing as love at first sight. Or so I thought. My name is Karli. And this is my love at first sight story (Sort of) I sat in the middle of a long history lecture in a ro...

“Almond-Eyed Love” by Jayden Mendez

Submitted to Contest #16

The first thing I noticed about him were his eyes. Yes, that’s a cliché, I know. But honestly, his eyes were beautiful. They were a light brown, and they glowed in the sun when it hit them. He had the softest blond hair, that curved over his skin in wavy locks. But I never loved him for just his looks. It was his personality- he was sweet, loyal, and was always wanting to make me happy. I loved him from the time I first saw him. And that’s why I adopted him! His name is Lenny, and he’s my Golden Retriever. ...

“Found At Last” by Emma Chaffey

Submitted to Contest #16

I gagged unconsciously as yet another couple's lips met. Christmas was quickly rounding the corner, and all this garbage about holiday romance and kisses under the mistletoe was finally starting to get under my skin. More than just under my skin. It was burning my insides, and my heart was right in the middle of it all. Christmas was meant to be a time of cheer and gratitude, giving and compassion. Instead all I felt was loneliness. Friends were constantly shopping, attending dates, and pushing aside all thoughts of me. I think my depressing...

“Instance” by Stella B James

Submitted to Contest #16

People called them seers back in the day. Seers graduated to fortune tellers, which in turn graduated to psychics. I don’t claim to be any of these things. I like to call my gift something along the déjà vu effect. I don’t see future events through spiritual powers or cards or a clear ominous ball.I dream them, but I don’t remember the dreams until they’re playing out in real life, and then there’s that weird moment where I can tell you what someone is going to do or say before they do it. It’s almost like watching a car wreck, as I can’t do...

“Meet Me at the Edge” by Katelyn Sherwood

Submitted to Contest #16

Walking through the back streets of New York, the man glanced around and behind him nervously. He swore he had seen the same three guys strolling or leaned against a wall for the past 4 blocks. He had been warned of rising gang activity ever since the Prohibition started, but he didn’t expect to get mugged on his first day. He lowered his head and walked a bit faster. His new apartment was only another block away, but they were starting to close in, and he wasn’t sure if he could make it inside before they got to him.Out of nowhere, a young ...

“The Princess Was the One for Me ” by Rachel Frankki

Submitted to Contest #16

Falling in love at first sight, was not an idea I heard throughout my childhood. I grew up hunting in the woods for survival, where my parents taught me all of their skills pertaining to living in the wilderness. They were the ones that told me how to properly skin a wild animal while also looting a royal carriage, and not get caught. To be able to stave off hunger when the winter was harsh, and there wasn’t a variety of easily accessed food. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have been able to continue living in the woods after their deaths...

“Heartbeat” by Kia Costa

Submitted to Contest #16

Calm down Trina, calm down. You're almost there. Steady and deep breaths, I thought to myself as I frantically navigate the empty school hallway. The pounding of my heart rang into my ears like a marching band inside my ribcage. I was beginning to feel sweaty and sick and I wanted nothing more to just start packing and head home.The panic attack that terrorized my body showed no signs of stopping and I could feel my lungs ready to collapse. I was far enough from the busy lunchtime courtyard to not hear the deafening sounds of gossip and cha...
