“The Princess and the Thief” by E. Genao

Submitted to Contest #16

Princess Clara stepped inside the tower and examined the seemingly endless spiral staircase. After weeks of journeying through the woods--fighting monsters and breaking curses, with friends and alone--she had finally made it. All that was left to do was climb some stairs. So why was she so afraid?“Stop,” Clara mumbled. She shook her head violently as if to force out all negative thoughts. Then, she took a deep breath and began the climb.Her mind wandered, and all she could focus on was the ball. That one fateful day that would change the cou...

“And Had I Not Looked Left” by Megan Rosevear

Submitted to Contest #16

I missed the bus again. Veronica would kill me if she knew; I'd been late four times that week already and was due for more than just a few snide comments this time.I frantically tried to flag down the driver, but it was no use. He peeled away from the curb and out into the evening traffic. Cars were whizzing by, their lights blinking on as the world turned more purple than blue.I stood on the sidewalk and ignored the way that people filtered around me. I could have started the long walk home - at least it would give me some time to think. I...

“The Widow's Riddle” by Madeleine Lord

Submitted to Contest #16

A woman’s husband had recently died, leaving her and their tiny baby boy in a crumbling wooden shack on a tall, grassy hill, in the shade of a twisted apple tree. The man had been cruel - a drunkard. Hard to make smile and harder to make kind. In the nights he still lived, the widow could never lie easily, for the marks of his displeasure would burn. She did not weep when they laid his body to rest, but simply hitched the child up further and walked back up the hill to the hut and the apple tree. Then, she got to work.&...

Submitted to Contest #16

“It is her. She is the girl that I will marry. I have been dreaming about her forever and finally she has come. She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, funny ...” Peter knew that he would have to wait for about thirty minutes before George would need to breathe in and would provide a tiny niche for someone else to participate in the conversation. There came the moment. The question had formed itself his mind about five minutes ago and he couldn’t keep it down anymore. “And will you give her the same ring that you wanted to give to Bia...

“"First Real Love"” by Mabel Ortiz

Submitted to Contest #16

It just took a glance. Turning my eyes toward the long row of students, I noticed this tall, lanky guy that topped over every one's head. To me, everyone was tall since I was only 58 inches or four-ten. But I kept on going. The cafeteria was packed, and, thank God, Greta had secured us a table, and waited there while I shopped for our lunch. We always went "Dutch "and opted for similar menu options. Hamburgers surpassed "mystery"lasagna casserole and salads seemed safer than " soaked" fries.Someone almost knocked down my tray as I ...

“Coffee Shop Futuristic Meet-Cute” by Aspiring Writer

Submitted to Contest #16

Chaiu looked down with disgust at the coffee spilled all over the linoleum tiles. Her socks, once white winter stockings, were now splattered with brown, stained with her boss’s lost cappuccino. Her shoes, white loafers, would need replacing as well. She sighed, annoyed with herself. After two months of being an intern, one would think she’d have learned to carry a coffee. Her green eyes scanned the coffee shop, searching for paper towels. She didn’t see any, however, there was a large, silver box of napkins next to the cream and sugar on th...

“My Angel” by Shavon Erasmus

Submitted to Contest #16

The sun hits me straight in the face letting me know that I have slept through my alarm – again! I check the time on the clock. It’s six am and I have to be at work in an hour, which would sound like no big deal since I live right around the corner’ but I still have to shower and wash and dry my hair.Stepping into the elevator once I’m ready for work, I check the time again. I let out a sigh of relieve as I still have fifteen minutes to get to work. Gosh I hate elevators but since the stairs are under construction I had no choice but to get ...

“"Only in Fairy Tales"” by LeslieAnn Donnelly

Submitted to Contest #16

Sunlight is dappling through the autumn colored leaves, soothing my mind as I travel from Alabama to Tennessee. Purposefully, I chose traveling country roads so I could better enjoy the splendor of the leaves changing. The inspirational talk in Nashville is free so I rationalized the extra gas expense, skipping all interstates. After all, it is my thirty fifth birthday and I am intent on having a good weekend. My favorite author, Lynn V. Andrews is giving a talk in Nashville and her books have been instrumental in feeding me spirit...

“Summer of Love ” by Anya Olson

Submitted to Contest #16

It was the first day of the rest of her life. She had gotten herself a job tree planting for the summer. Chasing after that dreamy aesthetic of the hippy movement, she had applied to this job, despite the naysayers who had been telling her the work was too hard, the days were too long, and the sun was too hot. No, to her this would be the most wonderful summer of her life. She imagined herself, filthy and covered in sweat from a long day’s work, not bothering to wash, because why would you when everyone around you was filthy too? She picture...

“Bustin' Glass ” by Emma Goertz

Submitted to Contest #16

Heather heard the deep rumble of an engine behind her, the bright white light of the sun blinding her blue eyes. Seriously? She thought as she waited at the stop sign that continued the road leading into nowhere. Someone is behind me now? She glanced in her rear-view mirror and was struck with awe as her adrenaline spiked.Outlined in the mirror was a car, but not any car. Its sleek black body and golden eagle emblazoned on the hood was a telltale sign of one of the most classic cars of the past decades.“Babe? Let’s go, no one’s coming. This ...

“Field of Vision” by Liz Dolence

Submitted to Contest #16

Normally, the sights and smells of a race setting up would excite me to my very core. However, on this particular day, I am running very very late and I have no time to stop and take in the scene around me. It is a blur as I ran full speed down a hallway that opened to the race track. I can see an official looking around for me, clearly he was about to call me a no show and clear my gate, but I come barrelling in. “I’m here! I’m heeeeeeerrrreeeee,” I yell, drawing the eyes of fellow racers and audience members alike. Luckily, I also draw the...

Submitted to Contest #16

ONCE UPON XANARUS The sun was warm as Jaymel left home and started his daily trek to school. A sweet melody from nearby birds added to the pleasure already derived from the sun’s greeting and he slowed his pace to savor the moment since he was early and should have no problem arriving on time for the Premier Quadrant. Today will be a happy day he thought while finding a comfortable posi...

“Just Before Dinner” by Lordofthestrings

Submitted to Contest #16

Ally and I climb the stairs to go to the Social Media class. "I think this is gonna be great!" whispers Ally as she sits down. I agree and pull out my notebook and pens. I glance around. Lots of people from our church are in this class. There's Chloe, Addie, Sarah, Ava, and... "Who's that?" I wonder, "He's...kinda cute." After the class ends, I make my way over to Ava and her "companion". Ava wants the signature of the class leader (Dillon Chase) so, I decide to talk to the guy she's been sitting with. I learn that his name is Cristian, and ...
