“Discovery” by Lisa Massimilla

Submitted to Contest #29

David ran a hand through his hair and shifted in his chair. Taking a deep breath, he focused on the computer screen before him and read “The government is now considering a bill to limit drone use-”The sound of the apartment door opening followed by Jason declaring, rather loudly, how much he hated college, shattered what little concentration he had left. Leaning back in his chair, David turned to see his disgruntled roommate enter the living room.“Bad day?”“The worst,” he paused, looking at him in disbelief. “It's Friday night and you're do...

“Best Friends” by Jo Mulraney

Submitted to Contest #29

Layla sat at the back screen door looking in. We'd been through the ritual of sliding the door open, closed, and open again, all the while her green eyes on me - a silent exchange. "Come sit outside," those eyes said, "Let's sit on the grass together. You can pat me and call me pretty girl.""I'm sitting inside," I say, "Are you in or out?"She settles on the mat and I slide the door closed once again. Her wide eyes stay on me, then narrow with consent as I sit back down at the table not more than six feet from her and in plain sight through t...

“At the Edge of Friendship” by Andrew Marble

Submitted to Contest #29

We were kings of our own domain, ruling those endless summers together. Those summers where time was irrelevant and everything we did was full of meaning, full of adventure, full of a vigor we may never again know. Had we the choice, we would have spent every waking moment together. We fed off each other's spontaneity, zipping from one activity to the next, never worrying about the inevitable future that this one day will end. It didn’t matter, because we had each other to entertain. We were a union&nb...

“The Blue Flame” by Paul Carney

Submitted to Contest #29

The Blue Flame By: Paul Carney Soon after Grim and The Reaper started to take over the Earth, reports started filtering in about how ruthless they actually were. It was said that the conquest of these two super powered aliens with weird “V” shaped scars on their chests started with them blowing up their entire home planet. Like so many people around the world, I watched in horror as they started to destroy our world one city at a time. It all seemed hopeless as the death tolls climbed ...

“BFF Vampbunnies” by Emilie Conroy

Submitted to Contest #29

Have you ever gone shopping for a corset? Not long after Violet and I had started poking around in the real and for true vampire community, we received an invitation to a vampire ball from a fellow called BlackSwamp. I wish you could have seen nighttime in Orlando in the 1990's after the theme parks had closed. “A Midsummer Night’s Scream” proposed the most diverse, splendid, and confusing dress code I’d ever seen. “Let the flowers of the night be in full bloom,” the invitation said. “Let Elizabe...

“Lost Love ” by Erynne Eoff

Submitted to Contest #29

It was two years ago that I lost my best friend, my lover, my soulmate. I’m ready to talk about it; I think. It started my freshman year when I was fifteen. I wasn’t very outgoing, which made it hard to make friends so I went online. A lot of them turned out to be fakes or just plain creepers; but out of them I met Joshua. He was sixteen and an introvert like me we just clicked. It sounds like some dumb teen movie but that’s what happened we instantly understood each other. We talked for hours a night about games, music, art, school, and the...

“Lemonade Stand” by Lauren Jones

Submitted to Contest #29

I woke up to the sun streaming through my bright blue butterfly curtains. After I remembered what day it was, I jumped out of bed so fast I was lightheaded. Today was a very important day, it was the first day of summer! Fifth graded was officially over and I was free for three amazing months. I quickly threw on my official summer clothes, purple shorts, and my watermelon shirt. I also tied my ty-dye bandana around my forehead. I grabbed an apple from the counter as I was running out the door. “Be back for dinner Jamie!” my mom yelled ...

“Letting Go” by Inna Douglass

Submitted to Contest #29

In an old brick remodeled house that was once a gunshop at one time lived two best friends by the names of Doug and Inna. Doug and Inna met ten years prior and decided to live together and split the bills. They of course had their ups and downs like all best friends did but for the most part they enjoyed each others company. They worked hard all day and would come home and eat supper together and talk about their day and watch some television or maybe play a couple gsmes of scrabble then go to bed to get up to the same routine the next day.I...

“Silence” by Daisy Collins

Submitted to Contest #29

I open my crusted eyes and peer begrudgingly at my surroundings. The sprawling mess of clothes curled around my legs like the extremities of a tired beast. The semicircle of scattered notebooks spilling from the mouth of my open backpack. The mugs with lipstick stains adorning the rip with the pattern of an old-fashioned doily. The congealing takeaway container of… something? I squeeze my lids shut again – I’d seen enough. From my position, curled on my ...

“And So, We Feel Alive” by Noni Kuhner

Submitted to Contest #29

I knocked gently on the huge wooden door. It didn’t matter; the air still shook with loud booms every time my knuckles tapped against it, as if I had pounded upon it with giant fists, but I was used to it now.No answer.I tried again, and again three deep, loud sounds echoed from within, but still there were no coming footsteps, and the door didn’t open.“Dee?” I called, “Are you home?” I tried the handle and found it opened easily. Out, but expecting me, then. That would do.I pushed the door open with my shoulder as I backed into his home. As...

“In Eva's World” by Zosia Appleton

Submitted to Contest #29

Pink hair, white shirt, gold buttons, brown skirt. Pink cheeks, white teeth, gold face paint, brown eyes. Eva holds the World in her hands. She’s still elated from the end of summer fair and her hair is knotted at the back of her head where she can’t see it, tangled from one too many rides. She stands in front of the mirror and pretends it is a camera. I watch her, but I am not the only one. To her, we are alone. Her truth, I remind myself, is what’s most important here. Her bed is softer than mine under my hand, her duvets are lined w...

“A Tale of Two Friends” by Bruno Lowagie

Submitted to Contest #29

He was the best of friends. He was the worst of friends. He was my richest friend. He was my poorest friend. We had good days. We had bad days. We said we would remain friends forever. We knew we would become each other's biggest rival. In short: our relationship as friends was one of love and hate.“Aren’t all relationships?” he once asked me.I know there are other, better relationships, but knowing him the way I know him, I fear he might never find someone to have such a relationship with. As a c...

“(Ex) Best Friends” by Sophia Nelson

Submitted to Contest #29

My best friend and I have known each other since kindergarten. We instantly clicked, forming an unbreakable bond. We had amazing sleepovers, went to each other's parties, joined clubs and sports together, hung out in all of our shared classes during school. We're in fourth grade now. Before, we had the same teachers every year. But now, we are in different classes. We are different people. Well, everything is different. Bree, my best friend, has made new friends. Cool, popular friends. They are brave, pretty, and kind girls. Exc...
