“Co-Star” by Meera Honey

Submitted to Contest #94

Oliver and Julia fell in love on the stage. They masked the feeling by showing affection through the characters they played but when the stage went dark, they found themselves next to each other again. “Wow. You again? Can I ever get away from you?” Oliver grinned down at Julia with her many bouquets. She giggled and tried to hold all the flowers in her arms. “Let me help you with that.” Oliver took some of her flowers and helped her to her car. On the walk there, they felt the beautiful night and Julia opened up with no issue, “Yo...

"Heyy step aside a bit!! Don't block other people's paths," angrily a man named Zack. Liz frowned. "I'm standing near the edge of the path. It's not like I'm blocking your path," Liz scolded Zack back. Zack rolled his eyes. "You make a lot of noise. You're on the sidelines. But you're fat, still blocking people's way," said Zack. Liz gasped. She shook her head. "How dare you. From now on, I don't want to hear anything more from you." Liz ran to leave the place. Liz is not as fat as expected. Zack deliberately wanted to play with Liz but...

“Brown Eyes by: Lisa Reid” by Jean Davis

Submitted to Contest #94

Today was a calm, beautiful day and my 5-year-old son was still in bed. Oh, but when he gets up, the day will be on. As I started my day I knew it was going to be on with my son Shane. This five-year-old had a will like no other. He challenges me more than any job. It started with breakfast. “Shane, eat your oatmeal, it will make you grow up to be strong like your daddy.” “No, I don’t like oatmeal.” So here it starts, the disobedience, the testing of who will back down first. Him looking at me with those big brown eyes. I am determined I am ...

Submitted to Contest #94

High school students of Dela luz University are known for being disorderly, rude, and naughty.

Who's also solemn and not given to emotional expression, no pretentious. She is realistically aware of her capabilities, and limitations. And most importan...

Sharon I take my time getting dressed, I’m trying to find something cool to wear. According to the weather it’s going to be a very hot day. I’m getting ready for our yearly barbecue at my nieces’ house. I know my daughter Theresa is going to be there too. She comes every year. I wish she would give me a break and stay at home this year.

This year she is going to be sixteen years old....

“The Fears Of Elves and Dwarves” by Reece York

Submitted to Contest #94

“You always do this, you idiot. Always.” The dwarf, stout build and red-bearded, complained to himself on a cloudless moonlit night. He was trapped and he knew it. Stuck in a shallow but wide underground cave with the only escape being the wide-ranging hole about twenty feet up in the ceiling. He laid faced up towards the sky with glistening gossamer threads strung all about the room, a tangle of which bound his left arm and snared him to a grey boulder. The whole space smelled of musty decay. Moonlight glistened off the pearl-blue thre...

“Asshole, Bitch” by Sumaiya Shaikh

Submitted to Contest #94

I like him, no actually I love him, and I hate when Maral is near him, touching his arms, getting close to him, calling him daily, she is wrapping her sneaky fingers all over my man, my love, my everything. And the worst part is, he is not telling anything to Maral, that bitch! If he thinks I will get jealous, and I will confront my feelings then he is wrong. Because I can handle my emotions well! If he wants to play that way then let it be that way only, and baby, I will win! ALI**** I love her, she is the one, but why the fuck she can’t...

Wednesday, April 21st Bella I can tell she needs my help. Brina is jumping up and down, trying to get down the toaster that we barely use and that our parents keep on the top shelf in the cupboard. She is a year older, but I am five inches taller, and I know she hates it. Hates that she is more likely to be asked for her ID buying alcohol in the store than I, the baby sister, am. Hates that I take after Mum, a candidate for a model due to her impressive 5’10” height and she takes after Dad, who is not the t...

“Honeysuckles and Sorrow” by Stevie Harvey-Taylor

Submitted to Contest #94

TW: Death I wasn’t a stupid person, but I rarely used my head for important things, either. It really depended. Living in a orphanage my whole life, I got used to being able to take care of myself, and rarely accepting it from others, which taught me that I was a loner and that nobody else understood how I felt, when in reality I was just like any other poor kid, living a life in quiet disparity. It was a Wednesday morning. “Aspen, look!” I heard Dotty exclaim from behind me. “Aspen, look what I f...

“Butting Heads” by Xavier Tan

Submitted to Contest #94

“Oh Elvin, it’s you. What bad luck to meet you so early today.” “Aren’t you tired? Appearing every morning just to say this to me.” “Me? Appearing? Not a chance. The less I get to see you, the better.” And so another day started: ordinary, but horribly so, or perhaps it was this horrible feeling of it that had become so ordinary to us: Emil and I, who were already arguing the moment we stepped out of our gates. Ideally, I wouldn’t want to see him any more than he did me, but neither of us had much of a choice. We went to the same schoo...

“Clara” by Luciel Frazer

Submitted to Contest #94

Clara stood on the balcony and checked her wrist watch once again. She leaned on the railing, tapped her hair into place before reaching for a hand mirror on the chair next to her. She smiled a little as she gazed upon her reflection in the mirror. Her bouncy chocolate brown curly hair was tied loosely into a ponytail. She let a few strands drop on the sides of her face. Looking intensely into the mirror she pouted her perfect thin lips as she tried to look as fierce as the girl that had graced the last cover of vogue Looking at her wris...
