“The Loud and the Silent” by Rajesh Patel

Submitted to Contest #104

Raj and Pasquale met when they started working for the same company. Pasquale started working almost six years before Raj joined the enterprise. Both working for a major telecom player in the country. Their friendship began in a strange way. Pasquale was working there since 2002 and Raj came in 2008. At first, they would only talk briefly because they would meet up in the hall, or when crossing paths. Just a saying hi, hello, hey or a how are you. The had no friends or colleagues in common. Raj would start his shift late due...

“The Three Laws of Friendship” by Tanisha Kumar

Submitted to Contest #104

Honestly, I had never been a fan of those cliché rom-com plots which try to condense the originality of the laws of physics and the order of the universe into the philosophy of human life. I mean, taking the beautiful and more importantly, scientific theory of ‘opposites attract’ which states that ‘each subatomic particle in the universe, positively or negatively charged attempts to attain the state of neutrality and thereby, stability, by seeking to form a bond with its diametrically opposing body’ and generalising it to human relationships...

“Best Friends....And More” by David Dicaire

Submitted to Contest #104

Matilda was always the life of the party. She would be dancing and carrying on well past midnight, still having fun with the lampshade on her head, while Joe would have gone to bed around nine, maybe nine-thirty, ten the latest. When they went to the beach, she wanted to have sand castle contests with the rest of the beach people. She chased the little kids around playing in the water with them. The woman would lead a huge chain of people dancing on the sand creating a truly amazing vision. Joe was happy to bask in the...

“‘Anything Else?’” by Tim Roberts

Submitted to Contest #104

Anything Else? Short story “So that’s two bacon and egg with red sauce; one bacon and egg and sausage with brown sauce and mustard; a breakfast box; one egg and pepper bap; a sausage roll; one breakfast wrap; and six Nom-Noms.” I look at the Roofer with his stubble and his nice eyes. “Anything else?” He shakes his head and I tell him how it’s sixteen twenty, love. When I give him his change I watch his tight bum as he leaves the shop. Phwoar he could tile my roof anytime! Chloe’s too busy asking a woman with tea-cakes and a ginger man if...

“The Thinking Undead” by T H Galligan

Submitted to Contest #104

The dawn was still. The crickets and fireflies had lowered the curtain on their nocturnal performance. The birds had yet to warm up their voices and take to the stage. For Susie, it was the best time of the day. She watched the light grow in the distance. She thought of Hannah. “Time to get up!” Hannah would have said if she thought Susie was taking too much time to savour daybreak.But Susie was already up and thinking. She had been up all night thinking. She had been up all night for the last three nights (she did not sleep anymore), t...

“The Imaginary Friend” by Lily Rama

Submitted to Contest #104

The girl clutched onto the boy's hand, not caring how strange it appeared to others.It was weird that she was holding air. But it's even weirder when someone finds out that 'air' is really not actual air, but instead a charming boy from the 1940's.The girl gripped onto the boy's hand tighter as she trudged the grimy streets of New York City. She smoothed out her pleated skirt."Do I look okay?"The boy smiled, a small smile that only revealed few of his teeth. But still, charming.You look lovely. He spoke only three words, but that was enough ...

“Who Could Guess?” by Donald Bluhm

Submitted to Contest #104

Jake Anderson was a life-of-the-party guy, he thought. A never-say-die guy. A push-it-to-the-limit guy. Someone who would tell you something from across a fairly crowded room, even if, or especially if, you didn't want to know what he was about to announce. He had another questionable habit, and you may have guessed, that annoyed many: He frequently finished sentences begun by others. And almost always louder than was needed. “As I was telling Nancy Begonia the other day,” began Lucy Smith, for example, at a recent gathering that included ...

“Best Superhero Friends” by Dakota Love

Submitted to Contest #104

Best Superhero Friends Amethyst walked out the door, the fresh breeze hitting her face as the full light of the afternoon sun surrounded her. She soon saw the person she wanted to find more than anyone else in the world just then – her best friend, the Cleric. Amethyst plopped next to the Cleric, who looked up, startled. “Oh, hello, Amethyst,” he said with a ready smile. He leaned back against the tree. “I was just praying. The sunli...

“Dear Sadie” by Francis Daisy

Submitted to Contest #104

Dear Sadie, Since we aren’t able to speak, I guess I’ll resort to emails. I feel a little foolish, but, if this is the only way we get to talk, then I’ll type. I know you won’t write back, but that’s okay. Returning phone calls or text messages has never been your strong suit. You would be much more likely to show up on my doorstep than to answer a text message from me asking if I should wear my blue shoes or my white sneakers. Speaking of, I’m wondering what I should wear this weekend. What do you think? Should I go with the business suit a...

“Durian Fruit : The Inside and Out” by Eve Y

Submitted to Contest #104

Layla and Laine were best friends. They had been best friends the moment they came into the world. They were placed side by side in the nursery unit. They were born on the same day, the same hour, and of course, the same hospital. Their mothers had shared a hospital room and became friends during their stay, which naturally resulted in countless sentimental promises of raising their children together, mother to mother. In fact, upon discharging from the hospital, the two new happy mothers discovered that they lived in the...

“Salt and Chocolate” by Sorcha Wilde

Submitted to Contest #104

Mon petit loup. My little wolf. That is what I have always called you. I cannot remember when I last used your real name. Silly, a diminutive like that for a big fellow like you.I gave you this nickname because you seemed so harmless, so gregarious. Sweet and playful on the outside, with all the loyalty and affection of a puppy. Wolf cubs look much like puppies, don’t they? Hard to distinguish these wild predators from well-trained little pets.In time, I saw you for what you were, wolf, liked how easily you kept your inner predator under con...

“In, Out” by Bhaswati Bose

Submitted to Contest #104

Content warning- panic attack I must have swallowed a snake, somehow, because I can feel it winding round and round my ribcage, squeezing my lungs. It's getting harder to breathe by the minute, and I try to calm down, get the snake to loosen up because, please, I need to breathe. In out In out In out It's not enough. I'm wading through the crowd, falling apart as I go, trailing essential bits and pieces of me like oil from a leaking tank. I'm looking for the bathroom, which I'm sure is somewhere near, where I can fall apa...

“Gemini” by Danny G

Submitted to Contest #104

TW: abuse, mental health Cassie took a deep breath and wondered why she agreed to this. This wasn’t her. She felt the butterflies in her stomach fluttering about and almost turned around. She swallowed, trying to ignore the anxiety building in her. You can do this. Before her was a metal double door leading into a converted warehouse. She could hear thumping behind them, and knew she couldn’t back away now. She looked down at herself, she was nicely dressed in neat but casual clothing; jeans and a black cardigan over a yel...

“The Owl and the Bee” by Alice Claude

Submitted to Contest #104

Abbie’s days have always begun with the sun. Even the first one- she remembered vaguely that the day she was born was an unnaturally bright day in January. The Queen was actually praised for laying eggs with such good timing, because more of Abbie’s siblings were able to survive. She recalled the first time her eyes focused on the golden, reflective surface of the beehive, which she now knew like the back of her, well, wing. Abbie felt herself slowly come to consciousness. Her wings twitched gently, shaking off the night’s drowsiness. They...
