“Hello Dr. Remarkable” by Evan Rocker

Submitted to Contest #56

“Hello Dr. Remarkable, I feel we’re going to be the best of friends.” She cleared he throat. “Let me make a slight correction. My name is Dr. Reamer.” I shrugged. “I like Dr. Remarkable better. Since we are going to be such good friends, I’m going to call you Dr. Remarkable.” “All right.” Dr. Remarkable says. “My old therapist told me that it’s OK (I believe the technical word she used was normal) for me to feel guilt ridden and remorseful about moving into my sister’s house and sort of making a mess. So yes, I feel bad. Especially beca...

Of all things that I thought I would be doing on a Saturday afternoon, tailing my best friend’s husband was not one of them. When Sheila, my best friend picked me up from my apartment, I thought we were just going out for lunch.Boy was I wrong!Sheila told me that she found incriminating text messages on her husband’s phone and that he’s meeting a woman at a restaurant for lunch.I rolled my eyes. I love her with all my heart, but she’s too suspicious sometimes. She thinks that Henry, her husband, has a wandering eye. He’s really a sweetheart....

“Hearts' Desire” by Jimmy Irons

Submitted to Contest #56

Nobody’s perfect. I’m ashamed to admit my prejudices against him before we met. I'm truly blessed for how he’s opened my eyes.But, where are my manners! I’m rambling about myself and haven’t introduced you to my dearest love, Frederick. Now, don’t be quick to judge! Just because he smells a little and his clothes have seen better days, there isn’t a closer companion for me than Frederick. Do be careful though, he tends to bite. I suppose that should be expected from the undead.How did we meet? Well, it’s a bit of a cute story, I wish Freddy ...

“Grayson and the Well” by J.P. Gans

Submitted to Contest #56

Grayson harshly opened the cellar door letting all the prisoners run into to the woods. “Meet at the the old well!” He screamed to the runaways. He turned to close the door behind him, as he was locking the door he saw shining blue eyes creeping in through the bushes. “Princess?” He took a small step toward the bush. “Hello Grayson.” The princess moved around the bush and smiled at him.“What are you doing here, you should be in bed.” Grayson said.“So should you.” She stood up straight, the moonlight reflecting off her jewelry almost bli...

“Auditorium Antics” by Elizabeth Inkim

Submitted to Contest #56

Roslyn had two problems: her mountain of schoolwork, and an impending disciplinary probation.Tonight, she was supposed to be finishing her sacred geometry schoolwork and studying for her Rhetoric in Poetry exam, but this evening was the closing night of Dragon of the West. It was Roslyn’s favourite play, and much to her chagrin the tickets cost a small fortune. A fortune that Roslyn did not have. This left her with two options, miss the play entirely, or sneak into the Eilian Seff Theater to see it; and of course, she took the latter. Althou...

“The Floor Is Now Lava” by Tyler Runde

Submitted to Contest #56

John still felt a little groggy and confused from when the mysterious woman had roofied his drink the night before. And now he found himself here. “This is ridiculous!” he announced. He was staring down a hallway, in what he presumed was an abandoned building, in some far-off location. Away from the safety and help of a civilized society. And from the hallway’s walls, circular saw-blades measuring two feet across jousted out into the path he was meant to take, or else the strange wrist-watch he wore would inject him with a deadly poison....

“Never Wonder” by Mar Café

Submitted to Contest #56

"She's real! She's real, and she's far more terrifying than you will ever be!" Alice screamed through the door as the orderly locked her in the dark cupboard of a room. "She imprisoned me! She tortured me! She threatened to cut off my head! And I escaped! I'm not afraid of you!" From the other side of the door, Alice heard Nurse Nooks scoff. "Yes, yes, I'm sure you're not. Thank you, Alice. I believe the entire hospital has heard quite enough about the 'Queen of Cards' for one night." "The Queen of Hearts!" Alice bellowed, the falsetto o...

“London and Olly” by Inkstained Introvert

Submitted to Contest #56

I don’t know what drew me to him. Maybe the fact that he was feeding the ducks, which no one seems to do anymore, or that he was wearing a shirt that said “Van Gogh, Van Goghing, Van Gone” with corresponding pictures, or perhaps it was because, out of everyone else in the park, he was the only one standing still. There were a dozen people in Hathaway Park that day, and most of them were moving hurriedly from one end to the other, head down, mask on, walking, walking, walking, getting on with their busy, important life. The few people...

Also as noted the Heathrow International.Airport was.a nightmare for Jerry. Everyone was a suspect. Almost all packages contained bombs, insurgents hid in the shadows an attack was imminent.

“The Elevator Guy” by Lizzie Brown

Submitted to Contest #56

The Elevator Guy 1925 "This way, Madam," the hotel porter told Lucy as he collected her luggage from the lobby. Lucy took one last glance around the snazzy hotel reception area and followed him towards the elevator. The elevator operator stood to one side and flashed her a warm smile, showing pearly white teeth. He looked handsome in his red uniform, complete with flat cap settled upon his fair hair. "Second floor, please," the porter said and the elevator guy silently complied. ...

“The Interview” by Tanja Cilia

Submitted to Contest #56

“You’re hot!” he said, placing his open palm just millimetres away from my face. I moved back involuntarily, and nearly fell backward over a dog that had loped into the room. He reached out to steady me, and I knew I would feel his grip for a long time. “Yes... there was an accident at the crossroads, and a traffic snarl-up... I didn’t want to be late, so I ran all the way down the avenue, since I did not want to be late; I’d love a glass of cold water please.” One sentence. The News Editor would have had my head if he’d heard me. I blush...

“Hunting From the Treestand” by Cyndy Reads

Submitted to Contest #56

No one was supposed to be on the roof. The time was ten-thirty-two in the evening and Raymond yawned as he headed up the roof access stairs. He’d just woken up from a well-deserved nap. The sun was long set and the stars would push themselves through the light pollution, shining their frail light through the incandescent smog. The moon waxed in the sky, still too t...

“Lessons for Chocolate Confessions” by Ru B

Submitted to Contest #56

He was still following her. She had stopped looking, but she felt it. His presence pushed against her back and propelled her forward, away from the horrible possibilities of what could happen if he caught up. She didn’t know who he was and what he wanted with her. It was cold out but Megan was suffocating under her coat. Her shirt was soaked in her sweat and her breath left her in short, forceful bursts. She had already passed her bus stop and didn’t know where she was going. Megan had seen these streets many times, but was never on foot w...

“The Greener Side” by Muntaqa Bari

Do people have weird hallucinations right before they’re about to die? He wouldn’t know because this was his first time trying to commit suicide. And he was quite certain that he could see someone who looked remarkably like him through the noose. *** It’s true that Zain was having a very bad day and his head was all over the place for most of the subway ride, but he thought he would have remembered if he had fallen through a wormhole at some point. Even his walk from the station to his building had been uneventful. Nothing had seem...
