“Spring Angel” by David Zasloff

Submitted to Contest #86

It was such an enormous park. Had to be two miles from end to end. Walking all the way through it was a hell of a job – in full costume and with thousands of Spring Fair participants milling around, it was next to impossible. But Gerry made it, waving to the people the whole way and daydreaming about the dirty martinis waiting for him when this shift was over. Three children raced over as he got started, shouting his character's name - “Buddy! Buddy! Buddy!” And slammed full-speed right into his legs. Nearly knocked him over. He patted the...

Spring was finally here.Mister Black huffed, “I hate when you do that” he said. His voice was more of a growl then anything resembling his innocent old man visage.Mister White looked to him. Mister Blacks eyes were scanning the crowd. Mister White knew what he was doing. He was Looking for eyes that will connect with him. So, he can see into the future of one of them. See their fate. “What did I do” Mister White sa...

“Snith Monument ” by Nazneen Nahar Ananna

Submitted to Contest #86

Snith Monument "What a pretty death!Yeah!I am dying with a heart full of contentment and a memory full of love.I am loving to die. Just one request. Please don't forget me." - Snith closed her eyes with these last words. He even didn’t give us a single opportunity to try to save him. "What happened, Twiline?" "Nothing, baby. Let's enter the park." I saw Twiline to be crying. She was crying continuously seeing the big monument of Snith. I was really shocked. Twiline is crying! I am Rithin, an orphan. I grew up in an o...

“Just One Flower” by Teresa Fairhurst

Submitted to Contest #86

‘Oh Mike, it’s wonderful.’ Ned watched as his parents looked around them with big smiles on their faces. A spring festival. That was all it took to make them happy. They loved anything to do with plants, flowers, gardening. He didn’t though. So why had he agreed to come along with them? He followed them towards where all the stalls and exhibitions were, feeling a bit mean to have thought that. It had been a long and difficult winter. His mother had been very ill with a chest infection that had led to pneumonia, and his dad had taken time o...

“Spring Drama” by A Living Entity (Or Professional Simulator)

Submitted to Contest #86

Note: I kind of lost inspiration towards the middle, so sorry about that! March 15th, 2019: 2:30 PM Maria sighed and pressed her head against the cool leather comforting of the taxi and gazed out the window. The scenery outside was beautiful and serene, unlike the bustling and yelling of Wintercreek or the dorms of Columbia University. The calmness of her taxi driver added a bonus to the peaceful atmosphere. Maria tried to inhale it all while she could. Soon, she'd be meeting her best friends, Yvonne and Ishaan, who loved mak...

“The Spring Festival” by Kate Cornwell

Submitted to Contest #86

The Spring Festival was always my favorite event of the year. I honestly loved the Spring Festival more than I loved Christmas. Christmas was always stressful around our house because all it meant was Grandma was coming into town and she would inevitably say something horrible to mom or I and we would spend the rest of her trip trying to avoid her. One problem with Grandma – other than she the fact that she only likes my father – is that she is not very mobile on her...

“Paper Flowers” by Elizabeth D

Submitted to Contest #86

The vibrancy of the fuchsia and violet paper flowers was diminished by the grey light pouring through the cloudy sky. Freya and her cohort had finished hanging the strands of bright flowers along the marbled path through the park. Patrons had yet to arrive for the annual spring festival, leaving the park desolate, the food stands and craft vendor’s stalls empty of personal. A tech crew worked at a constructed stage, performing microphone tests. There would be a concert and the crowning of the Spring Princess upon the stage. Freya thought onc...
