“10 Years Of Space” by K. Antonio

🏆 Winner of Contest #104

He comes to me in pieces as I watch the stillness of space, envisioning new constellations in the array of unrecognized stars. I trace the sparks of light with my finger, connecting the dots and smudging the glass as a result. How many stars do you think there are in space? I imagine him asking. Can there really be other ones out there as big as or even bigger than the sun? I always admired his genuine curiosity, how he viewed things with a particular interest, how he saw me. He was the one that organized our sleepo...

“The Life of a Lone Flower” by Lynn Penny

Submitted to Contest #104

There once was a seed—a tiny, single seed—that fell from the top of the hill and into the cracks of the earth, finding its new home within a dark, lonely cave. The only light to reach the depths was from the small opening where the seed made its fall.It was a small fit for the seed to take root, but all the while, just as cozy as it needed to be. Day by day, the small ray of sun gleamed down on the tiny seed as it grew more and more. At first, there was just the tiniest bit of stem, but out of the blue bloomed the most beautiful Flower.The g...

“an introvert and an extrovert - still friends, just not talking” by Laiba M

Submitted to Contest #104

Maybe we could have lasted if you had different ways to cope.Maybe we would still be talking all day, good morning and goodnight texts, smiley faces, hearts, promises, hopes.Your honey-sweet words and thoughts traveled a long way to me, flying through state after state, sent only to me, and I would excitedly open every package. Every how was your day and stay safe, every tidbit of information about yourself, I would save in my precious storage room just for you.You said we would be friends forever.You said we would meet one da...

The saying opposites attach spoke Volumes about the odd relationship of Mathew Tompson and Donovan Dinozzo.They were polor opposites. one up for anything, the other perfected it be just them or alone. One always causing mischief the other setting it right. It had been that way since the first day they had meet. In middle school some of other kids even used to tease them and ask them how they could be friends because they were so different. This use to offense Donvon who would then spend the rest of recess and break terrorizing them. The unbe...

“The Debate” by H L McQuaid

⭐️ Shortlisted for Contest #104

You savour these moments in the spotlight, swirling the attention like a fine wine in your mouth. All lenses narrowed on your charming smile, your blue eyes made bluer as your pupils contract to pinpoints, the only part of your body that shies away from bright lights. The reporters jostle for position, shoulders kicking toward the front of the stage. Ravenous, famished, churning the air as they sniff for political chum. I envy your ease in these situations, you slice through the tricky queries and lob back talking points, you smash the softb...

“First Day Fiasco” by 𝕂𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕖 𝕎.

Submitted to Contest #104

Before leaving the car, I check my belongings. Retainer case, phone, money for lunch, spare hair tie. Looks like I have everything. I take a deep breath before opening my car door. I am so excited for my first day at the new job, but also a little unsure what to expect. I have never worked at an Icy Duke before. But making ice cream Snowstorms can’t be that difficult, can it? I enter the restaurant and pause by the door. What now? I glan...

“Till Forever Falls Apart...” by Arthur Alexander

Submitted to Contest #104

‘‘Woohoo! That party was amazing!’’ Angela said as they walked out of the house after the party that never seemed to end. ‘Oh yeah, it was fun!’ Hayley said trying to put on a fake smile. ‘I’m going to head home now, see you tomorrow in class!’ Angela said walking in the opposite direction.Hayley strolled around the streets… feeling empty. She was the sunshine, the mood maker, the one who always lit up everyone’s day. Little did they know, that it was an act she played all too well. She didn’t like hiding her emotions, she didn’t like bein...

“The First Awkward Time” by Graham Kinross

Submitted to Contest #104

Some parties are fun. Some are terrible. Some are just weird. Once a year I rolled the dice at the New Year's thing at the big house of a girl who went to school with me when I was knee high to a shorty. My best friend is one of those people who gets to chose between party invites at weekends because he knows a thousand people for every single one I tolerate. I think everyone knows someone like Matt, they make it impossible not to. He wears the cool clothes, says the right things and leaps into every opportunity without overthinking. I p...

“An Invitation” by A. Smoak

Submitted to Contest #104

There was a knocking at the door, faint but rapid. Pearl sighed wryly and remained in bed. She knew exactly who it was making that noise. She knew it was rude to not answer the door, especially for this visitor, but frankly she wasn't sure if she could handle it right now.It had been a week of hell. Between the nonstop demands of her job, her coworkers insisting that they go out on the town for drinks to celebrate winning the big project not once but twice, and Pearl stupidly deciding to force herself to go on a tepid date - she was don...

“SHE WAS JUST UNABLE TO BE HERSELF” by Alizah Muhammad

Submitted to Contest #104

“OMG! When they mention the friendship started with scorn, it’s always the best plot!!!” Naira said as she watched the movie trailer. Sofia and Deena exchanged an amused glance. It was their friendship story, after all.After Naira left, Deena said, “by the way, even now it’s hard to admit that ‘we’ became best friends… I mean when I first met you, I had an impression that you were just a pretentious person and you also didn’t think highly of me for sure. I’m glad we didn’t stick with that shallow viewpoint and obtained a deeper insight. This...

“Brave Wild Berries” by Cannelle L

Submitted to Contest #104

I filled the plastic buckets up with Kit Kats, Snickers, and M&M'S, inwardly scolding myself for my unoriginal choices. I should've gotten some jelly beans to brighten up my pile. Some Jolly Ranchers maybe? Shaking my head, I tossed the last packet I'd picked from the store (A gleaming silver bag of HERSHEY'S Kisses with the words "MILK CHOCOLATE" written underneath in capital letters) along with the other candies, reminding myself that not every child was going to want chocolate. But I guess I could just give the leftovers to he...

“Got It?” by Jasmine Harwood

Submitted to Contest #104

A lot of words go around about Alesha Daydrop. It’s probably because she is one of the loudest people in school; second only to the dinner lady leader, Miss Trout, who’s booming voice can, impressively, fill an entire canteen. However, whenever you’re in one of the massive, bustling playgrounds or a small, quiet classroom, you can always tell if Alesha is around. Not only her voice, but she also has an aura of one particular perfume she always uses- Smoky Lips- and most girls don’t use it in case they’re mistaken for Alesha. Some people thin...

“From introvert to extrovert. Crossing boundaries ” by Chacha Jaramillo

Submitted to Contest #104

Facing the fears I grew up with was challenging. Latino - Chinese born and raised, obviously two worlds collided with no winners on the battlefield. The Chinese factor, still predominant, on my mom side; my dad’s first generation was loosing ground. But his blood was pure. On my mom’s side, she was 2nd generation. So I was literally 70% Chinese with the other 30% Latino complications. Very conflicting and compelling at the same time. I am the 4th in line, the youngest, the girl in the family. Mom’s favourite if you would’ve thought. Nope. Th...

“The Theory of Magnetism” by Therese Bambe

Submitted to Contest #104

Studying abroad is a good experience, but it is never easy, especially when you are not acquainted with any international student who has been in the country for a long time. At the beginning of 2019, Mrs. Bakire, a young mother whose spouse worked for the armed forces, got an acceptance letter from one of the most prestigious universities in Turkey. She decided to come to Turkey with her baby. Back then, she did not have friends in Turkey. Her apartment was right near mine. When I informed my friends of the new neighbor, they started planni...

“Unintentionally Adopted” by Day 🌙

Submitted to Contest #104

Gavin glanced up from his phone. “No.” Lionel frowned. “Come on, Gavin- this could be your only chance!” “No. I told you, I have plans. Besides, you only want me for the discount.” Lionel sat down on the couch beside Gavin. “It’s just one group activity. Besides, rewatching the old Ninjago seasons hardly counts as a plan.” “Shush-“ Gavin threw a side pillow at his friend. “It is a wonderful plan, and you know it.” Lionel caught the pillow, then threw it back. “If you go, I won’t invite you to any more events for the rest ...
