“And All That Jazz” by Zoe Steinberg

Submitted to Contest #38

The houses on Clemente Avenue were nothing you wouldn’t expect from an upper-middle-class neighborhood. They were sunny, picturesque, and meant to be shown off. The men of the house would go to work each day with a kiss on the cheek, and the women would meet in the cold corners of the house and gossip about the latest celebrity news. Despite the age difference, life on Clemente Avenue was like living in a perpetual high school. The cliches were never-ending, the hierarchy could not be broken, and everyone unfortunate enough to live near the ...

“Decline of a Mind” by Ashley L

Submitted to Contest #38

I adjust myself on my bed. I fix the sheet that I hung up as a makeshift backdrop. I look at the viewfinder on my camera that I begged my parents to get for my birthday. I smile at it. It doesn’t feel right. I look around. Make sure everything’s nice and ready. Make sure it’s clean. Don’t need anybody seeing how much of a slob I’ve been recently. I look down at my outfit and my stance. My denim shorts are riding up, but it’s not too much. My yellow tube top shines against all of the dull colors that my apartment has become. What sun is able ...

“The Room” by Susan Drew

Submitted to Contest #38

Jack had won in the battle over which house to buy. Carly liked the Cape that needed a lot less work, but Jack was right. This one would fit all their needs in the years to come. It was a 150-year-old farmhouse with attached barn. There was room in the barn for both Jack’s carpentry business and the sewing supplies Carly needed for her fabric art studio. But the house made her uneasy. It wasn’t even the whole house. Just a room off the kitchen. Like many old houses, rooms seemed to have sprouted up as the owners had a need. This room may ha...

“hidden amoung the stars” by Melissa Holewa

Submitted to Contest #38

This was a mistake, it wasn’t supposed to go viral, it was supposed to be a joke among me, my sister, and my cousins. But it made me famous, a thing that I’m rarely use to. See in the beginning I wasn’t the most popular person on the planate let alone on youtube. See it all started when I had this stupidest idea, and I wanted to include my sister, and my two cousins that I hardly get to see because life reasons. So, we decided to do this stupid tik tok, and thought nothing of it. &nb...

“Internal isolation” by Kerry Williams

Submitted to Contest #38

With a sigh, Caitlyn forced herself to stand up from the couch and drag her weary body through to the bedroom to get dressed. Since Australia went into lockdown she had given up on doing her hair and makeup entirely, but she did force herself to change out of her pyjamas daily. Yes it was 1pm, and she may only be changing into comfortable cotton shorts and an oversized t-shirt, a vast change from her usual stylish attire, but it still counted as getting dressed, right?Once she had discarded her mismatched nightwear in favour of her equally c...

“Your Fans Are Watching” by J R

Submitted to Contest #38

The alert began pinging profusely at 5:02AM. A quick, groggy-eyed check shows "IG" with a tiny red bubble that shows the number "107" inside of it. What could possibly be blowing it at this hour?You pop open the app to see what all of the fuss is about.A video you posted at 2:45AM had gotten the attention of some meme junkies on the web. Wasn't my last post a video of my cat? Maybe the world finally sees how loveable Sir Mittens is! The video, is in fact, not of the cat, but rather, you. A still shot from across the room of you in bed. You f...

“A True Miracle” by Leslie Lopez

Submitted to Contest #38

The sun was piercing bright at what felt like a thousand degrees. The dusty leaves slightly moved with the little winds that would occur now and then. Puddles formed by excess water to the all dried up vines, leaving behind the marks of the chemical machine wheels on the uneven dirt ground. As I worked on the south side of the crop, I felt the sun burning my back. Sweat dripped down the bottom of my cheek, and I quickly wiped it off with the side of my black leather gloves. Placing the harvesting scissors to their holder on the left side of ...

“"RedRuM_9791"” by Nevermindpanda A.Q

Submitted to Contest #38

The first notes of her jazzy ringtone were enough to wake the detective from her slumber. Reaching out for her phone, she let her fingers glide on the soft sheets until they were met with plastic. She picked it up, not in the slightest bothered to check the caller’s name, and instantly answered. She already knew who it was. It was work. -Detective Jennings speaking. She suppressed a yawn while waiting for a response. She was greeted by the familiar voice of a man. -Hi Jennings, It’s Hutton. The man’s into...

“Clock” by Christina Dakhil

Submitted to Contest #38

I don't even know how it happened. I really cannot tell you how it happened. All I know is that one day, I got bored out of my mind. I opened this beautiful app called clock. Videos on there were funny, but I don't have a single funny bone in my body. And I mean that quite literally because I don't have a sense of humor. So, when I say I don't know how it happened, I genuinely mean I don't know how it happened. I feel as if a lot of teens open this app, and we're all racking their brains to find something funny. On this app anyone is ab...
