“Destined” by David Dorman

Submitted to Contest #59

As they got off their transportation they took their first steps into their new lives. They went through security, heavily checking their baggage. Health inspectors and physicians who spent many hours running tests and scans on them, making sure they were applicable to roam around after a long travel. Along with other processes that took hours before they were free to go. They looked are a lot, trying to take everything in. This was more than just leaving the country to them. They were leaving practically everything. "This is still insane...

“Together in Palm Tree Estates” by David Dicaire

Submitted to Contest #59

Together In Palm Tree Estates Palm Tree Estates was for the well-to-do. The people were mostly snobbish even to each other at times. In order for anyone to visit, they had to provide their name and identification to the gate attendant. If their name wasn’t on the list, they weren’t allowed in. As one resident put it: “It is a good way to keep the family riff-raff away.” Donald and Marge Thomas had been very excited to move into the posh neighbourhood. They had made a tremendous amount of plans and couldn’t wait ...

“Beautiful Friend” by Matthew Eubanks

Submitted to Contest #59

The big woman pounded on the door again. Ed knew it was her. That obnoxious beast. Every morning. He thought of calling her a word that he would never say. “TIME FOR PICKLEBALL,” she boomed. “Go away!” Ed said to the door. After a pause, she repeated herself. “DO YOU WANT TO PLAY PICKLEBALL,” she boomed again. She had a voice like a battering ram. Ed had been up since 3:30 as always, watching the clock, waiting. His legs hurt from the neuropathy. If he flat refused her, or they thought he was asleep, they would give him his medicine la...

“IUSTITIA DISCORDIAE” by Michael Boquet

Submitted to Contest #59

As the town car pulled up to the rectory apartments of the St. Hoston Cathedral, Silver Staff couldn't help but smile and give a silent thanks to the Lord. Silver Staff was on cloud nine as the town car parked at the curb. After years of training and fighting injustice, he had finally become a state-sponsored hero and had been tasked with protecting the city of Port Honorius. He'd recently married the love of his life, Charlotte, and he was excited to start their lives together. The Church had given them an entire suite in the rectory to cal...

“Haunted Past” by Rawn A Lynn

Submitted to Contest #59

Eluise tapped her fingers to the beat of the faint music playing in the truck. She peeks over at Maria who was asleep with her chair reclined. Maria’s sleeping form is faced towards Eluise with her knees pulled to her chest. Eluise ensured the road was clear before caressing Maria’s cheek with a gentle touch of her hand. Maria looked stunningly peaceful as she slept. It brought Eluise back to a few weeks before their drive, the day Maria proposed this move. Eluise received a distress call from her good friend, Dimitri to help at his firm. It...

“Marsala” by Marija Brincat

Submitted to Contest #59

Kate leans against the railing on the Lungomare and inhales deeply. Ahh! The sea... so calming, so versatile in matching her moods. And this sea in particular, the Mediterranean - well, the Mar Tirreno, to be exact - has something truly special. Maybe it is the intense blue colour that tends to be missing in the other bodies of water that she has known. The sun spangles onto the sea, breaking up the reflection into a million particles of sunshine, like mirror fragments bobbing on the surface of the water. This part of the city, the Lungomare...

“Night Caller” by Beulah Lee Harris

Submitted to Contest #59

Night Caller – By Beulah Lee Harris I looked out at the frigid night and shivered. Not because I was cold, I was wrapped up warmly enough, but because I was afraid of whatever might be lurking in the dark. It was so remote where we lived in the foothills of the mountains. Our nearest neighbors, Greg and Jeanie, were an hour’s slow drive away and the town where I worked was an hour in the other direction. We thought it was a wonderful find, this wooden cabin in the middle of nowhere, a little way up the ...

“The Dreaded Move” by Jessica Young

Submitted to Contest #59

My wife, Bella, and I have lived here in Arizona since we were both in diapers and now, were moving to England because that is where her father, James, is being stationed. Bella has been there a few times and absolutely loves it. She also has other family living there as well, so she won’t feel so lonely when we arrive. I on the other hand have been there once and I hated every second of it. My medical condition always involves me staying warm and dry unless I’m swimming or showering of course. On days that it’s raining or cold outside, I m...

“Valley” by Dr. Oma

Submitted to Contest #59

A house. How does people feel whenever they brought a new you house. Happiness? Excitement? Me? Fear and anger. If there is one thing I hate the most in this world, that is a house. For other's it's the place where they can be true to themselves, find comfort, joy, and a place where they can build a family. For me it's nothing but a prison. And to think that I'm standing in front of a house in the middle of nowhere makes me want to kill myself. "Honey, let's go?" I looked at my husband, we were newly Weds and he just bought t...

“Home Sweet Hell” by Cassie Poormokhtar

Submitted to Contest #59

Home Sweet Hell Jones broke down the final cardboard box, grinning at me while she did it. I knew the massive smile she had plastered on her face was a stark contrast to the scowl I’d been fighting since the bat flew into my hair earlier that morning. We’d just moved into this house, and already, I regretted it. We’d been here for two days. “Lindsay?” Bringing myself back from the memory of the damn bat in my hair, I refocused on her face, which was still full of apprehension. “What?” “You’re giving me the murder look again.” She sat ...

“Thalassophobia” by Bronze Nova

Submitted to Contest #59

A mellow breeze blows the smell of saltwater into your face. You giggle as you blink away the playful wind and listen to the methodic sounds of the waves. To most people, this would be a relaxing experience, an escape from the noise of city life. But, there is a small subset of people where the true dangers of the ocean are made clear for them. The crazy part? No one believes these lucky men, not even myself. At least, I didn't. My name is Howard Philipe and I am a young scientist from New England. I grew up on the coast of Maine, the cold g...

“The scarecrow village part 2: Hunted” by Gie Garcia

Submitted to Contest #59

"We're here! Home Sweet Home" George said with a smile almost reaching both of his ears. We've been debating whether we will buy this house or not. We just got married a few months ago when he suddenly announced that we will be migrating here in Japan. That very news made my jaw drop on the floor but his "good news" does not end there because on that very day he also announced that he already bought a house and a lot and was waiting for its contract to get it signed. It was all so sudden that's why I was against it but in the end, ...

“The Odd Couple” by Patricia Adele

Submitted to Contest #59

Incompatible. They’ve used that word to describe me all my life. Friends, relationships, on the job, you name it. It’s not as if I’m mean or weird or anything. I just walk to the beat of a different drummer, slightly off beat. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. However, it has rendered me to live a life that is not as productive as I would’ve liked. In the end, careers have failed, a marriage failed, and it'a not a good idea to have children when you’re incompatible. What a word!...
