“Frau Holle” by Zedania Zedania

Submitted to Contest #77

“Frau Holle”, Maria gasped in disbelief and amazement, when snow started falling thick and fast on a sunny afternoon in July. Frau Holle, who causes snow to fall on earth whenever she makes her bed and shakes her duvet and pillow out of the window until the feathers fall. The Germans must have been obsessed with fresh air even in the Middle Ages. When Maria was little, it was her favorite of the Brothers Grimm’s fairytales, and not only because her name was almost the same like the one of the two protagonists. She used to read the story ov...

“Summer in Boysenberry Falls: A Raspberry Family Story” by Lyn Carstone

Submitted to Contest #77

Stella Raspberry-Rue braced herself for the sweltering heat that was waiting, ready to assault her, once she stepped outside of the temperature-controlled library. This summer had been one for the history books- each day breaking the previous record for how hot it had been. Even biking the measly distance from her house to the library had left her sweating at nine in the morning. Two hours later, and Stella was dreading even the short distance to Mama Jean’s Cafe. At least next year she would have her driver’s license and she would be able t...

“Snow Day” by Alex Hotsenpiller

Submitted to Contest #77

That summer was the hottest on record, it the town of Jitterbug, the kind of hot that rose up from the group in waves and made your clothes stick to your skin from the moment you set foot outside. It was the kind of feet that burned your feet right through your shoes. “You could fry an egg on the sidewalk,” said Ms Palenski. “It’s hotter than Satan’s house cat,” said Mr McLeary. “It’s just plain old hot!” said Suzie-May, who was seven years old and missing her front tooth. But old Miss June just smiled and said “It’ll cool off soon eno...

“Summer Snow” by Josh Mullenax

Submitted to Contest #77

As I sipped a glass of wine, my apartment already dark, I thought about the remaining work that I had to do to finish off my day. I looked out my window at nothing in particular, my eyes finally finding refuse on my patio furniture outside. Captivated by cerebral endeavors, I was pulled back to the moment by a sensation. I felt it first on the tip of my nose before it washed over my face, and caressed the tips of my ears as it left me. It was a breeze, maybe warm, making its way through my kitchen. I walked against the breeze to the origin, ...

“Blue Ice” by A Mehendale

Submitted to Contest #77

It’s snowing.Holy Hell it’s snowing.****************************************************************************“But soft! What is this? My eyes must deceive me!”Eira snorts, and tosses a bunch of the small yellow flowers lying on the ground at her. Yu makes no move to swat them away, too committed to her act, back arched and hands clutching her chest. They bounce off her left thigh.She carries on.“But alas, they do not. Oh say it is not so, that the madness has not come for thee, for my dearest friend.” She throws herself to her knees....

“Golden Dreaming, Summer Beseeming.” by Yvette Papillon

Submitted to Contest #77

Warmth. All I knew was warmth. My fingers curled around the tendrils of grass that swayed in the serene summer weather. Peace. My eyes met the rays of light that broke through the sea of leaves that swooshed and swayed above me. One hand reached to the blue sky, as if walking on the sunny rays. The sun always shone. No waking nor sleeping moment was void of the fiery friend. It was never hot, only, warm. ...

“Vanilla Ice Cream ” by Fée Brandt

Submitted to Contest #77

She hit me hard, I couldn’t think for a moment. I take an extra-long time to pick something from the freezer. Really, I am not buying anything from here, but to enjoy the cool air. From here, I can see the window dripping sweat because of the heat outside, for as long as I could fight, I am staying here. I see with the magical eyes on my back that the shop assistant starts walking towards me. I get nervous, almost felt like committing a crime, so I grab something looking nice, I smile wide at the assistant and go straight to th...

“Frozen Purgatory” by Abigail Schafer

Submitted to Contest #77

When my mother told me stories of snow -- the flakes that would float lazily toward the ground, coating it in hills and valleys of white powder -- she always described it as earth’s herpes: it never leaves. With snow always came slush, the grey, infective sludge that made the once-pure landscape sick with rotting foliage and the remains of dead livestock. Even so, every night, I asked her to tell me the stories of the dancing flakes that clothed the trees and bushes in white sweaters. Even if every story was infused with virulence and bitte...
