“The Scrapyard” by Jeffrey Griffith

Submitted to Contest #29

* feedback is greatly appreciated!A young kid sat alone at a table; head flopped backwards over her chair.“Uncle Pete!” She yelled, turning a few heads. “I’m bored!” This morning Pete had woken her up early, declared it was bring your kid (or any young person you happened to be in possession of) to work day and handed her his old pistol. Uncle Pete owned a saloon and it was his pride and joy. He lived for the tales travelers told on their way through, his laughter often travelling far beyond the walls of the saloon. Therefore most ...

“Storey” by Sarthak Raghav

Submitted to Contest #29

Blue disco lights dangle everywhere. A loud and enraging song plays and the beats reverberate in frenzy. A crowded stage lies, a crowd of drunk maniacs, who in the day are sophisticated, right now dance and shake like there is no tomorrow. And they call this music! Real names apart, let us call me Trill. I am standing by the drinks counter, just alongside the stage. The bartender is looking at me, the only person who is as disinterested as me. "Come on Trill! Join us! Whoo!" A lady shouts from the other side of the stage. The bartender hands...

“That's What Friends are For” by Kim Smyth

Submitted to Contest #29

That’s What Friends are ForEver since the day you saw her through the chain-link fence in your back yard, in the summer of ’68, you knew she would be your bestie. From the elfish grin to her long, blond hair you felt you’d found a friend to the end. You somehow made an instant, life-long connection with this person, even at the tender age of seven, you could feel it. No matter her first words to you should have been taken as an insult (are you Chinese?) because of the shape of your eyes as you squinted in the sun, your heart opened up and le...

“A Week in the Life of a Friendship” by Tonnye Fletcher

Submitted to Contest #29

On the way to the hospital, Ariel thought about her friendship with Kenneth -- and with Sarah. The three of them had been friends for over 25 years -- Ariel had watched their 3 children grow up before her eyes. They had played countless games of Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit, put up many Christmas trees together and downed lots of pizza and Dr. Pepper at the local Pizza Hut. They lived about 5 hours apart, but made it a point to get together a couple of times each year -- usually Christmas and summer. This summer trip was...

“I must get on that ship?” by Trish Tyler

Submitted to Contest #29

We sat down in our seats. We were in the front row of an old Broadway theatre, so sitting in the front row literally meant you had to watch the show looking up the entire time. We were so close up that, although we were in the front row, our sight lines were awful. We were so close that, in order to light the edge of the stage, you had to light us. Everyone could see us, from the chorine to the patron in the back row of the balcony. To the common person’s eye, you would think we must have known someone to get these s...

“Best Mate: Ace” by Jem Ignis

Submitted to Contest #29

A white-haired boy takes the stage, a mic in hand. “Hello everybody. I know you are here to talk today with Jem. But I’m sorry to say that she’s not available right now.” There’s a loud chorus of BOOs! being yelled at him. He waits for everyone to quiet down. Once they do, he starts once again. “But. Since she isn’t here right now...I'll tell you guys about her. Okay?” he asks and that seems to make everyone happy. “Take a minute and think about what you want me to tell you.” “Why is there nothing about her on the internet?...

“Love Me Not” by Queenie Parker

Submitted to Contest #29

It was valentine's day, about ten o'clock at night, when Noel's door was chapped. He scratched the top of his head, his black hair a mess as he'd been ill and had mostly been sleeping throughout the day. He slowly stumbled out of bed, nearly tripping over the piles of dirty clothes on his floor, and made his way to the door. He opened the door slowly and leaned on the edge of it with his forehead against leaning against his arm. The hallway was lit by orange light bulbs in wall brackets, in front of Noel's door with his red hair highlighted ...

“Pie and Sympathy” by Ginny Mckinney

Submitted to Contest #29

They gathered in the fellowship hall for the monthly "fuss and cluck" they called FCW, aka the Fellowship Of Christian Women. On the second Thursday of every month, Colonel Sanders or a crock pot cooked the family supper while these dedicated ladies joined forces in an effort to solve the world's problems, one household at a time. Vi and Vettie were the newest and youngest members of the group. Not yet 34 years old, these lifelong friends had just graduated from the CYW, Christian Young Women, after la...

“The Eulogy ” by Joselynn Watts

Submitted to Contest #29

"It was my first year of school in the great state of Texas, I was going to be a third grader. Not that I even kept up with anything that wasn't rolling down grassy hills and running around San Angelo barefooted and in dirty clothes, I was one for the wrestling and playing rough like little boys. My mother had made Texas Leadership Character Academy, or Torture Little Children Academy as I soon had grown to call it, like an adventure and, boy, was I the little girl for that! However, I was woken up a little too early for my liking...

“To Jake” by Sarah Oakes

Submitted to Contest #29

To Jake This year marks fifteen years since the day we met. I’m so glad we did. Life wouldn’t have been the same without you. Do you remember that day? I know I do. It was one of the best days of my life. It was the summer of 2005. A Saturday afternoon. I’d been talking about taking clarinet lessons for months, after that old friend of ours Mr Brunton had that Open Day. Do you remember him? The kind Canadian? You smile at his name. Yes. I liked him, you say. He was kind and funny. We learnt lots from him at school. Yes, that Mr Brunton. An...

“The Day Gwendolyn Green Came Back” by Sophie Garman

Submitted to Contest #29

I had a best friend. Best friends braid each other's hair, make friendship bracelets, bake cookies, and stay up all night spilling juicy secrets with each other. And me? I'm spending my Sunday having quality time with my best friend. At the Common Burying Ground. Sitting by her grave. Martha Green taps my shoulder. "Hey, sweetie." I turn around to face her, along with Mr. Green and Danny. Their faces are white and sickly, their arms veiny, "Hi, Mrs. Green. I-I should go." It feels awkward to be intruding o...

“Magic Pockets” by Preeti Hay

Submitted to Contest #29

She left just as the school bell rang at three o'clock sharp, without saying goodbye. Who in the world would not say goodbye to her best friend? Sometimes Aanya drove me crazy.As Aanya walked out the open gates beyond which parents stood to fetch their children, I was reminded of her mother. So alive, so vibrant and tangible, not at all like the figment of imagination that sudden death had rendered her to. I remember the day it happened. We had a history test. Aanya loved history, whether it was the battle of Bastille or the Versailles pact,...

“It Happened After” by Tiare Barraza

Submitted to Contest #29

The girls looked at each other and grabbed the bottle of pills. That coupled with some alcohol, and death did its job, just as the girls had hoped for. Death came by much faster than they had expected. There was no magical light, no fluffy clouds, nor an angel in sight. The girls looked at each other confused and unsure as to where they were at or what was going on. They looked around but there was nothing. They both jumped as a voice said, “Ladies, if you could follow me.” The man did not wait for them ...
