“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...

“Cake Cute” by Katie Wilson

Submitted to Contest #56

When I was younger, maybe five or six, my mom said I had a short fuse; meaning that I meltdown easily. Sensing that she had a point, seeing that I had shattered five large jars of pickles out of the fury of missing out on the samples at Costco, I worked toward changing myself. Ten years later, in high school now, it happened again. I sensed it coming, like how an experienced captain can sense when a storm was brewing. It was all too much. Soccer tryouts on Wednesday until five-thirty, then I have to rush home to wrap up an essay for AP Lang...

“Platonic Frienship” by Maya Weatherall

Submitted to Contest #56

You know what they say... one door closes and another one opens. I don't take a no for an answer. If I wanted something, I always found a way to get it. But often time I found that to be unlikely, especially right now. Nothing was going the way I planned and boom out of nowhere comes this girl. I didn’t have a crush on her, but it was something else that I was attracted too. She came at the worse and best time of my life. I just needed her to know her placement right here, right now. Eric was one of my best friends, but he didn’t have a blu...

“Show and Tell” by Valicia Rolle

Submitted to Contest #56

It was the worst day of Joan’s life! And no, this wasn’t some premature expression of exaggerated teenage angst or blunder. This was the climax of Joan’s experience for the year because this was yet another thing she couldn’t control. But really, how much control can a sixteen year old really have on their life? Realistically, she had a lot of say, more say than she thought possible; but, today felt like all of her hard work had been thrown into an incinerator, and she could smell the ashes of her failure. Joan was transgender. On her fifte...

“dimwit muffin addicted self-absorbed spineless slug” by Maggie Walters

Submitted to Contest #56

The cafe bustled with energy as the soft aroma of freshly cooked cookies filled the air. She stood by the pick-up area as she waited for her name to be called. It probably wasn’t well advised to stop for a cup of coffee before doing what she was about to do, but Lily wasn’t exactly known for her good ideas. Her fingers drummed on the straps of her bag as she waited. “Lily!” A barista called out. Lily walked over graciously to grab her cup and hurriedly brought it over to the station where she could add sugar. Pro tip: Coffee with loa...

“Within a Lonely Space” by Jonah Junio

Submitted to Contest #56

A soft alarm rings throughout the pod, waking a lonesome man in his slumber. Blurred vision impedes on the man’s ability to awaken. Limbs stiff, slow and sluggish. He commits little effort to rising from the effort-consuming seat, cushions flat and dissipated from hours of supporting his lazy habits. The man finally lifts his eyelids, viewing the deep, star-ridden void of space through the window before him. “Be...

“The prisoners of the tree” by Ana Corciu

Submitted to Contest #56

Wednesday was usually the busiest day of the week in the Central Library. Mike was arranging the books on the shelves like any other day. He was doing the boring work, stamped the books with the library logo, arranged the volumes on the shelves and cleaned the floor. When he started this job, he thought it would be a lot of fun, to read all day through the hidden corners of the library, to recommend books to people, and to spend all day in this place full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Of course, after he started working here, he reali...

“A Not So Bad Day” by Fedrena Felician

Submitted to Contest #56

I was walking along the pavement that day, glaring at everything that crossed my path because I was in a really bad mood. The reason, you dare ask? Fine, I’ll tell you. You see, that day I woke up late for school, got splashed in my clothes by a huge truck passing a puddle while going to school, got an F in my History quiz for the first time in my life, found out that every other person in my grade have been invited to a party hosted by the Carlene Winters, to which I was not invited, missed my bus back home and now had to walk four miles to...

“Why does the Moon shine?” by , C

Submitted to Contest #56

She looked up. Blue clouds and white skies fill the horizons from left to right. The fluffy gentle grass enveloped her back. She slowly closed her eyes to experience it all. The earth beneath her rustled and life underneath hustled. She felt the ants scurry in single file lines and each blade of the lawn soak up the radiant sunlight. Here, no shouting and no fighting can be heard. No beer bottles were thrown. No muffled tears. It almost felt like all her problems were fading. Almost. A tear found itself nestled on the edge of h...

“Moped” by Emily Wen

Submitted to Contest #56

Lucas groaned, rolling over under his massive pile of blankets to muffle his sister’s loud voice. After a few moments of silence, a loud stomping could be heard approaching his room. Then, his door swung open. “Lucas get up! She’s going to be here in 5 minutes, and I don’t want her to think my brother’s a slob,” urged Ariel. “But I am,” he yawned. She shot him an exasperated glare. “Fine,” Lucas sighed as he reluctantly rolled out of bed. Why did he have to make a good impression on Ariel’s girlfriend? Her relationships neve...

“A Warm Welcome” by Katherine Lambton

Submitted to Contest #56

The winters were always cold, but this winter seemed to want to freeze us to death. I shovelled driveways to make a buck while my office was closed due to a faulty heating system. It seemed to make more sense for us to freeze at home instead of while miserable at work. Don’t get me wrong; my work is satisfying. Being stuck in place longer than our Windows ‘98 computers - not so great. I’m not alone in shovelling the driveways, although it feels like it most of the time. My buddy Chase has been helping me out with the driveways in our area. H...

“A Storm Together” by Ramore991 Amore

Submitted to Contest #56

I knew I should have gone to the store yesterday, Bob thought to himself. No matter, he was headed home now to wait out the storm that he knew was coming. “The National Weather Service has announced a tornado warning for the following counties-” Static killed the rest of it. He tapped the radio with his clenched fist. That never works. He sighed audibly and grumbled aloud “Oh I know there’s something coming.” He was a retired farmer in his early seventies, bald, short of stature, and stocky. His dog Chester, a black l...
