“A Part of Me Remembers” by Rac Relix

Submitted to Contest #56

A part of me will always remember that day. The day I met a true friend. -----------------------------------------------"Oh man I think my time's up." The man a seat away from me suddenly sighed while stretching his hands into the air. "Uhh, are you here to get yourself checked too sir?" I said to him, watching him as he continued his long stretch. We were the only two people in a long corridor of the hospital. I was there for my regularly scheduled check-up and was waiting for my turn to be called. It was odd that no one...

“The Elevator ” by Angela Dempsey

Submitted to Contest #56

Friday evening had finally arrived. Holly was looking forward to curling up on the couch with her fuzzy blanket and a good book. It was her Friday evening ritual. There was too much going on at work and she had two days to recover and prepare for the new week. She wanted to leave her daily grind and become an artist. Holly spent every spare moment working on her paintings for the day she gets discovered. Often her daydreams would turn to her having a solo art show, at one of the large galleries in the city. She had an antique Mustang in the...

“A Journey through Paris” by Asvika Gobi

Submitted to Contest #56

A Journey Through ParisI was sitting on a chair at the hospital. My palms on my face and my eyes full of tears. Everywhere around me, there was sadness and misery. The only thing keeping me alive was hope. Hope that my mother would be okay, hope that everything could go back to the way it was supposed to be. Deep inside of me, I knew that everything wouldn’t be alright but I pushed that feeling in because I didn’t want it to be true. My mom was my life, she was the only person I had. All I could see were doctors and nurses going in and out o...

“The Final Chapter ” by Yashaa Bajracharya

Submitted to Contest #56

Whoever decided to replicate this game in real life is absolutely psychotic.I aimed my sniper at the remaining two players who had guns pointed every which way. They would never know where I was, I change position every single time I've fired a shot. I was aiming for the guy on the right and fired. Plus, since I had a silencer on, they would never know either. The player fell down while the other one, bent next to him and held him close. I saw her shoulders shaking and she had placed her gun on the ground. A wave of emotions rushed through m...

“The Angry Man and the Darkness ” by Gordon K

Submitted to Contest #56

Oliver Brookes wasn’t the innocent man he appeared to be. Those that knew him thought him to be a polite and friendly man. They would say he kept himself to himself, but he always acknowledged his friends and neighbours, and although he was a naturally quiet man, if you got him talking he could chat for hours. Sally Cross was Oliver’s next door neighbour and if truth be told she was attracted to Oliver so would always try to find an excuse to talk to him. She had been a single mother for the past three years, and she desperately craved Male ...

“A New Beginning ” by Kathleen Berger

Submitted to Contest #56

The two of them entered the out of date building and immediately went took the elevator to the basement floor. Doors opened to a plain white wall with an unfilled glass poster frame. Ben followed the older man down the hall. On either side of them were the offices of all the music staff. Apparently, most of the lecturing rooms were on the floors above and the practice rooms and rehearsal halls were on this floor. Taking in the names of the staff and the musical decorations hung all around them almost caused him to run right into Robert, who ...

“Everyman's Tale” by Earvin Eugene

Submitted to Contest #56

Chapter 1: Fallen Angels This story starts off with Adam East floating in a pond half beaten to death. Bloody face with cuts and torn clothes. He has little energy and is in a surmountable amount of pain. He stays in the water, barely breathing and half-conscious. There is a lot of commotion surrounding him with lights from police. They come to the scene to witness this poor young man. In brutal agony he makes a sign of peace with a joyful yet grimacing smile. He raises in a small motion a peace sign with his left hand barely above water. ...

“Missed ” by Ceili Hamill

Submitted to Contest #56

Nina stared hopelessly at the train time table, clutching her duffel bag in one hand and wiping away tears with the other. Huffing out a breath, Nina tugged at the collar of her T-shirt, feeling it stick to her back with sweat. The summer air was humid and heavy, coating her like a second skin. “Okay,” Nina mumbled, flicking her eyes over the time table again, “I’m just gonna go back where I was, but I don’t think that was the right place either…what did Dad say on the phone?” Nina was trying to get to Red Bank, New Jersey. She’d opted to ta...

“An Alaskan's Hello” by Leeanna Hager

Submitted to Contest #56

My boots crunching on the refrozen snow and echoing back to me from the wood line is the only sound for miles. The 89 Wagoneer my grandfather bought me for my seventeenth birthday sat stalled and tilted two knobby wheels in the ditch. I had broken down about three miles from the edge of town. Gripping my key in the ignition I tried one last time to restart it before hopping out with my 38 and making sure not to forget my cigs. They tell you not to leave your car at night; don’t walk for help you'll surely freeze to death. Those words ar...

“"I Still Don't Get It [Prologue]" By Spencer Wedgeworth(me); 13y/o” by Hunni The Shiba

Submitted to Contest #56

It was a usual day in the quiet town of Culver, Indiana. Or so they thought. The town was fairly small, and not much changed by year, if any at all. Until, that day, a chain of red and white ambulances, and police cars raced down to the end of the street. Every car driving, not many pulled to the side of the road and let the multiple emergency service vehicles fling past them. One of the local stores was reported to be criminals that were robbing the store. They were taking some of the store's products, and most important to any criminal, th...

“Third Coffee Lucky” by Cather Meldr

Submitted to Contest #56

Carrie watched the handsome stranger close the door slowly and quietly, as if not wanting to draw attention to himself. Turning now toward her, he smiled the most pleasant of smiles. He was looking right into her eyes, and for a reason, unknown to her at that specific moment, she blushed. That smile, she thought, would melt the frozen heart of the ice queen . “What’ll it be”, she directed at the handsome stranger as she lifted the coffee cup from the tray of clean dishes fresh from the washer. He smiled again, and a butterfly somewhere ...

“Master Thief...Big Ass Included” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #56

Trigger warning: sexual assault   Out of all my burglary experiences, I’ve encountered many obstacles. Strange and not. They’ve involved anywhere from angry dogs to occupants to Home-Alone-style traps. One time, I even ran across another burglar. Out of all the strange situations I’ve encountered, none of them ever involved a window. A goddamn window. Yeah, I got my ass stuck in a window.  Some master thief I am.  I was just crawling into the window to get inside and start my raid, and I got stuck halfway through. So now, my b...

“16 and 24” by Lauren Brown

Submitted to Contest #56

I still remember the first time I saw him.  I was in his apartment. I was somewhat dating his roommate, and it was my first time at his place.  I was sitting on the couch. He came from behind me. “My girlfriend gets me flowers, and all I have a is a beer bottle to put it in” he joked. He had thick black kinky hair, sharp facial features, scrawny. I instantly fell for his loud objectionable laugh. It's a funky phenomenon, isn’t it? Love at first sight. But I felt it. I felt it with him.  He was wearing a Cosby like ...
