“Blossoms” by Tera King

Submitted to Contest #86

The cherry blossoms floated gently down to kiss the water in a romantic dance of wind and sun. The Spring Festival was in full swing, and the town was packed with tourists and locals alike, drinking in the pink laden winds and the sun-kissed streets worn with years of foot traffic. The night was just as lively, as spring break was nearing its end. Students, adults, and others wished a time like this, full of reckless abandon and releasing of inhibition would last forever. Tonight, however, was quiet, silent. The night was falling rapid...

“The Spring Power” by Aanika Gajendragad

Submitted to Contest #86

I smile when I look around me. The place is filled with bright flowers and children running around. They are enjoying themselves, as they should. They just finished their exams. I look over at my 5-year-old cousin, who’s trying to play with 12-year-olds. She’s copying everything they are doing, which makes me giggle. The place is decorated with lanterns. It feels good to be back in China. It’s a new year, finally. I’ve been waiting for this terrible year to get over. “Jenny!” Someone calls as I turn around. “Jennifer Wang, where have you bee...

“The Flower Arch” by Brianna Stilwell

Submitted to Contest #86

Finally. Though the sun’s brilliant golden rays shone down on the city below, an occasionally bitter wind continued to rustle through the leaves. It was easy to find a patch of sunny warmth, but the disturbance of the frigid wind made jackets a necessity. Cora didn’t mind, though. From beneath the light beige of her thin spring jacket, the knee-length skirt of a sundress patterned with pink roses flared out. Her pink ballerina flats walked her daintily across the muddy grass, each step light and delicate, filled with purpose. Her arms were...

“Longing for Spring” by Renalyne Arcaina

Submitted to Contest #86

Spring. The time when the grass becomes greener and the leaves turn brighter. It’s also the time when the annual Spring Festival takes place in the city of Sacramento, California. People all over the city come together on this Saturday and enjoy this event. There are different tents for food and other sold goods, live music and performances, rides, game booths, and to end off the night, a fireworks show. It is an overall, enjoyable occasion, but maybe not for everyone.Eva is a college student in her sophomore year who has a passion for paint...

“Give Me Just A Little More Time” by Daniel Norton

Submitted to Contest #86

I was eleven years old when our Festival Park hosted the Fifth Annual Beach Music Festival. It was exciting because my parents were in charge of everything but the music. I was free to roam.Beach music in the south is totally different than bech music elsewhere. I was a big fan of rock and roll so I would have loved for it to mean the Beach Boys, or Jan and Dean, Bruce and Terry, Surfaris, or Dock Dale and is surf guitar.No such luck. Here in the South it was The Embers, Swingin' Medallions, Chairmen of the Boad, The Drifters, The Tymes, The...

“Corn Dogs: Based on a True Story” by Wren Robinson

Submitted to Contest #86

The mouth-watering aroma of deep fry mingled with the pollen and fragrance of blooming Georgia wildflowers. The sunshine reflected off a young man’s gas station sunglasses as he breathed in the fresh air and listened to the rabble of festival goers around him. Travis walked alongside his family and high school sweetheart past the food stands and carnival games, but he noticed that one particular stand was gathering substantially more attention than the rest. “What’s going on up there?” His mom asked, gesturing to the food stand. ...

“I Will Follow You Into the Park ” by Nikita Linivenko

Submitted to Contest #86

You slipped out of the house halfway through the Vincent Price marathon. I don’t think you could’ve seen me. We went downhill together; I think I wet myself somewhere along the way. You stepped through the east gate onto the green, the Walpurgis Night bonfire already heaped and leaping high with benzine. You hung around the edge and watched the glow and though there were people there you knew, you didn’t talk to anyone. You passed, not even a ghost, less than a ghost through the crowd. Glances fell over you – someone with a beer bottle in ha...

“Friendship on Spring” by Rey Thomas Leopando

Submitted to Contest #86

An afternoon of a good spring. The cold breeze flows through the air with the leaves abiding the wind. The sun was not so hot, in fact the surroundings are bit humid, there was I and my best friend walking pass the hallway towards the stairs. The people are gathering around the park downstairs.Life around me was the very definition of dull and boring. It was lifeless and I always ever wondered why it was even called life. The days were a repetition of finite mediocrity.It all changed that simple afternoon. We were strolling down the hallway ...

“Circ Di Triumph-an AI's journey” by Peter Bombara

Submitted to Contest #86

“So, what are you planning to do on your leave CALYPSO?” “I do not have any clue Melissa…what are you supposed to do on your leave anyway?” Melissa laughed amusingly. CALYPSO was unsure why she laughed, though she just decided to leave it at that. Ever since CALYPSO, the AI, had created herself a body some time ago, she never had friends. Much less the important fact, she was not sure if she even needed friends. The people that she worked with, were never the types to be friends with someone like her. After some time, and deciding to make fr...

The crowd has a life of its own, the people move like enchanting shoals of fish . It was the time of spring festival, in park there is a chatter between buyer's and sellers.I sat on handcrafted unoccupied wooden bench, Everyone around me were content, cheerful, fortunate but inside me certain emotions were talking too loudly neither did the crowd hear them nor did they hear crowd voice, so they did not shut up. Inside me their was like a continuous tornado of guilt rising of why.. Why I didn't understand?? Everyone was keen in celebrati...

“Bunny Troubles” by Adam Schwartz

Submitted to Contest #86

A long swath of white fur was draped across Sarah’s chair when she arrived at the zoo’s animal health clinic for work. Puzzled, she lifted it gingerly to discover a pink nose with whiskers and a pair of comically large eyes. Long satin ears flopped down the back. The rest of the veterinary staff watched her, unsuccessfully trying to hide their grins. “What the hell is this?” demanded Sarah. Rod, the zoo director, took two slow steps towards her, crouching a bit. He held both arms out to his sides, palms ...
