“Feel the Beat ” by Mia Tang

Submitted to Contest #56

I don’t just hear the beat- I feel it. Much like the name of this 9PM audition show, Feel the Beat. But seriously. I can both hear and feel the beat to Miley Cyrus’ wrecking ball as audition number 451 belts out a ridiculously high note just on the other side of the wall. I wrinkle my nose as she wavers at a particularly long note. Poor girl. One less person to compete with, I guess. I keep my eyes closed as I listen to her sing. She has a nice voice. Her voice is precisely ‘nice.’ Not extraordinary, not spectacular, not unique...

“"The Veracious Horoscope."” by Fatima Kanza

Submitted to Contest #56

“It’s June in Miami only cats are wearing fur”, muttered Natalie from behind her newspaper. Tessa took a deep breath, gripped her fingers round the steering wheel tightly, rolled her pitch black eyes and looked at her sister sideways. “This is the seventh time”, said Tessa vexed. Natalie uttered an absent “huh?” while rustling her newspaper in turning the page. “I was saying that you said “THAT” dialogue seven times!” said Tessa sounding amused with a tinge of irritability. Natalie, a bit embarrassed, giggled hysterically and said, “Oh I’m s...

“The Sledgehammers” by Cain Adomnain

Submitted to Contest #56

(In 1946 nearly half of the world was either a colony or occupied territory of another country. The Soviet Union actively participated in most of the world’s liberation movements. By 1975 few colonies remained.) Moscow, Oct. 1945 Alexi Dzerzhinsky fidgeted in his padded chair. He couldn’t decide if he was nervous or if his back just hurt again. He wondered if his old bones might just collapse into his desk chair. When he felt this way, he tended to throw the seat cushion against the farthest wall of his office until his back pain demande...

“"A Second Chance"” by Tina Lynn

Submitted to Contest #56

“A Second Chance” By Tina Lynn It’s a Tuesday evening, six o’clock in East Manhattan, New York at the Penrose bar. I had never had much luck dating so my best friend, Stephanie set me up with a banker, Steven. I walked into the bar in a nice black dress, it’s my favorite date night dress, long lace sleeves with a low cut. I paired the dress with these shoes I got last month at Bloomingdale’s, they were having a sale. I told Steven I would meet him at the bar at six o’clock but it’s 6:10pm and no sign of Steven. I was waiting around ai...

“Interview for the rest of your life” by Corbin O'Skinny

Submitted to Contest #56

A young man wearing Van's shoes, loose-fitting jeans, and a t-shirt knocked on the door. The sign above the building's entrance read Mindspace Headquarters. Security sat at their desk, separated from the youngster by plexiglass. "Help you?" One of the guards said. "Yeah, I got called in for an interview..." They cut him off. "Elevator's around the corner. Third floor." The guard said and then turned his focus to his monitors. The interviewee muttered to himself as he rounded the corner: "Okay, thank you very much. Come...

“Two Bags instead of On.e” by HBR Patel

"Are you sure?" asked Jack "cent percent. I saw the briefing with my own eyes. Be ready near the runway. You will have about 20 to 25 minutes to make your move." replied Tom. "Okay. What about the fence?" "Don't worry. I have taken care of it. Just be prepared and I will take care of rest." Tom assured Jack once again as the operation they were about to carry was going to change their future and fortune. Jack placed the receiver of the public phone as politely as he can and glanced backward and then on both sides to be certain that no one ...

“Strawberry Dress and a Goodwill Jacket ” by Kyla Dorsey

Submitted to Contest #56

Amvri and I bonded over how cold it was in the abortion clinic. It felt like fucking Alaska in there, I have absolutely no idea why they would keep people getting abortions freezing and shaking but who knows. I had asked a few of my friends if they could come with me and they were all busy and I was a tad bit pissed because I had to go by myself so I drove my busted up 2014 Honda Accord 2 hours to get to the clinic and when I got there I was losing my shit I won't lie but I pulled what little of myself I could together and got out of the car...

“All It Takes Is This” by Laura Everly

Submitted to Contest #56

Wow! What a day! Well, at least I have the boxes in the right rooms. I forgot how hard moving into a new place is. It is beautiful here. The condo I am renting is right on the ocean, which is sweet. I think I will take a break and rest for a minute in my lounge chair. What is that over by the door? It looks like an envelope. That's odd, I don't remember seeing that there before. This is going to seem weird, it certainly does to me, but I am moving cautiously toward the envelope. What is the envelope going to do, jump up and bite me....

“A hero” by Vakula Surendar

Submitted to Contest #56

Mum always said Nik had too much of a hero complex. Nik couldn’t agree more. Why else would he choose to spend the rest of his life saving other people? His friends thought he was mad, and the adults around told him he was quite insane. Nik soon found he didn’t care. It was his life, after all- he could do what he liked with it. Turned out saving people was a much more travel friendly job than Nik had originally thought. He had travelled more planets than most of the world combined in an effort to save the most people. And he loved eve...

“Lucrecia” by Gustavo Quiroga

Submitted to Contest #56

While I leave my luggage in the hotel room, I decide to go to the supermarket to get some things that I will need to spend the whole week in this strange but great city. I come down from the hotel and everything is a bit difficult for me, if I even feel afraid of getting too close to people who in large numbers and in a great hurry pass me without even looking at me, without even saying hello. And I think what a horror it must be to live in a big city. I think that Buenos Aires is not the city where I would definitely live. It must be around...

“A Pair of Honest Men” by Wy Bertram

Submitted to Contest #56

“Wait here.” The soldier gestured into the hall, then as quickly as he’d led Peter there, he turned around and left. The large metal door closed softly. Peter took in the high ceilings and the grey walls. Too far above to make any impact, a dusty white fan squeaked and swayed precariously. The drabness was appropriate. Even the daylight wasn’t quite bright enough in here. Readjusting his helmet in the crook of his arm, Peter walked to the nearest bench. The fabric of his suit crinkled when he sat, the new smell of the mater...
