“D.I.Y.” by Cap’m Tummy

Submitted to Contest #34

It is September,3,2005 and the time is 1:32 P.M. Nujkokog (Nooj-kō-kog) was just now thinking of stuff to do while his irises were super small and he was looking everywhere vigorously while squating on the ground with his hands scrunching up his own hair very tightly and hardly. He then got an idea on what to do and he is now finding all the stuff he needed in the abandoned shelter for a D.I.Y. Iron Man costume and he found those items and he was doing that because he was paranoid, so to get his mind off of those things that scare him he is ...

“Imaginary safe haven” by Alba T

Submitted to Contest #34

I had to hurry up and disinfect everything as fast as possible, my room, the kitchen, the bathroom. I had bought earlier today everything i needed, from diluted bleached solution, alcohol solution to disposable gloves to hand sanitizers. My eyes were darting from the pile of worn clothes in my chair, to the milk drops in the kitchen table, to the toothpaste stains and the razors in the bathroom sink, every tiny bacteria could be a possible source of contamination. 'I have to wash my hands, that will calm my nerves,' - i thought while tr...

“After rain comes a rainbow” by Susan Le

Submitted to Contest #34

Meow…Lili purred softly while rubbed her tiny head against my scarf. Lili didn’t like these wet, rainy days. And so did I. Rain in Charlottetown came in a sudden with dark grey clouds, covering completely the whole sky, left us nothing but an unpleasant smell - petrichor. Rain brought the steaminess, the darkness, the frightening noise to this peaceful town. Horrifying.I remembered the day Dad left for his last-minute business trip was also on a rainy day. That was the last day I met him, the last carefree day of my family. A house which was...

“On a Monday With Rain” by Rachel Bramble

Submitted to Contest #34

It was Monday. He is lying in the middle of the cramped one-room apartment on a carpet stained with cigarette burns, reeking of tequila. Looking around, there would be the suspicion that the walls were cursed with a perpetual state of beige and bland. There is a cacophony of chaos permeating in the air, formed from the rain violently plinking against his only window. Underneath the rain's unavoidable presence, there is a subtle tick of a clock. Not that he owns an analog clock or any clock for that matter, but he can hear the gutting sound o...

“Murder in the Rain” by Sierra Cherniavsky

Submitted to Contest #34

I stared out my window, the glass reflecting me hazily, a little distorted. It was raining outside. I watched a raindrop trail down the window on the outside, leaving a slight stain that would soon be erased. The rain was so incredible, perfectly formed droplets of water falling from the sky. This water was in it's purest form, having just been recycled from wherever it'd been stolen by the heat, rising to form a cloud. I wanted to go outside just to feel these perfect beads of water hit me; until the tiny drops managed to soak me to the bon...

“THE BIG WATERS” by Fatma Tabassum

Submitted to Contest #34

A torrential downpour was occurring by the cave. Zalo walked up to the cave entrance for the umpteenth time, to check whether the pouring water had stopped or not. He grumbled. The rain was still gushing down, this time even more water was coming down, from up somewhere. It had never rained so much in his life before. He stood there transfixed. His heavy brows knitted close together in perplexed thought. He’d never understood where the rain really came from. He knew it was coming from up somewhere, but, from where exactly? And by whom?He str...

“Warm hearts” by Emma Biermann

Submitted to Contest #34

The day today wasn’t really on my side, I realized as soon as I took the first glance outside. Rain was pouring from the sky, soaking the pavement and everything else in it’s reach that wasn’t covered by something. With a sigh I leaned against the kitchen counter, the cup filled with coffee warming my hands. “And no coffee for me, Teodora?” As soon as her voice filled my ears, I couldn’t help but smile. Amelia. My girlfriend of 3 years now, standing in front of me pouting with her hair messy as ever and crossed arms. “I’m sorry.” I apologize...

“Mark of Silence ” by Giulia Vilardi

Submitted to Contest #34

CRACK! A shudder went through the room as the lightning illuminated the small group gathered around the fireplace. It was an unusual group, only for the fact that most of these people would never cross paths on a normal day. Sitting silently, Eleanore glanced around her. Now she was stuck, in the middle of a severe storm warning, with people she has hated since highschool. If only she had chosen a different day to invite these dull, brainless zombies over to her house to work on their final project. “So, I think we-” she was interrupte...

“Stewart's Worst Day Ever” by Daniel Dela Cruz

Submitted to Contest #34

The dreary morning of the 20th day of April was dark, grey, and most of all, very wet. It began in the late night; first, with very light sprays of water drops, then suddenly it turned into a horrible storm, with wild dangerous winds and driving sheets of rain. The situation became so terrible that no person dared to step foot outside their homes, not even for a second. It so happened that the 20th of April is also a young man’s birthday, named Stewart. He was turning thirteen, his first step into his teenage years. He hoped to celebrate it...

“Just Another Rainy Day” by Muyeko Mwenifumbo

Submitted to Contest #34

It was about 5:58 in the morning. We were far in the deep forest where we had been constructing a one roomed store house. My uncle and I had just finished roofing the house with iron sheets when suddenly rain drops begun to fall from the dark clouds above us. I thought to myself of how lucky we were to have finished roofing just before the rain begun. This part of the forest was so silent of any human civilization, to some extent we thought we were the first humans to have reached that part of the forest. The uninterrupted sounds of the wild...

“To Love is to Die” by Kitty Lancaster

Submitted to Contest #34

The heat from the fire place feels so warm against her smooth porcelin skin. This is the day she doesn't regret spending so much money purchasing the hammock; not to mention all the difficulties she faced trying to install it in her small country home. The cottage has many windows, which today look like the inside of a waterfall. The curtains are all pulled open because Ammery loves the site of the rain. She has no television, because she is rarely home and when she is, there is no time for T.V. There is no music playing because nothing...

“Thunder and Caterpillars” by Mia Vilardi

Submitted to Contest #34

“Will you be joining me on the Thunder Racer, or will I have to brave it alone?” “Don’t act so high and mighty,” I retort, crossing my arms. “The last time we went on a rollercoaster together, you threw up all over my shoes the second we got off the ride.” “I was ten, Lily!” Marco protests, pushing his dark hair away from his brown eyes. “And besides, that funnel cake was worth it.” “Was the blue slushie worth it?” I asked, getting flashbacks to my ruined sneakers. “Maybe I’ll pass on the slushie this time,” he says, laughing. Ev...

“Apocalypse Welcome.” by Zoë Watts

Submitted to Contest #34

It was always worse when it rained. It would churn up the mud, making it slippery and in this world right now slippery was dangerous; one wrong step lead to a twisted ankle. And in a world of deadly hide and seek a bad ankle meant you would probably die. Rain also brought landslides, mounds of loose earth covering things with teeth underneath. When the sky opened up and sent this grey veil down upon the land below; trees became wavering silhouettes, branches became reaching hands. You could mistake a tree for something else – or s...
