“The shy girl” by Ayesh Aamir

Submitted to Contest #104

...THE SHY GIRL... I used to be a party girl. My name used to run through everyone's mind as the first person who'd want to party, but not my friend's name. No. She was unique, soft, introverted. She would accompany me not sometimes, and those sometimes were the best. I can't believe how amazing it used to be. How amazing friendship can be. Leave love with heartbreak and betrayal, friendship goes way over the top. That was us. ...

“A Captain's Heart” by Grayson Smith

Submitted to Contest #104

Present Day The wind blew across the deck of the Blackbird. The young man at the wheel took a deep, long breath of the fresh air. The wind blew through the dark greenish-blue water and brushed the tops of the swelling white waves. It caught in the red and white sails of the ship and tossled the young man’s dark hair. 12 Years Ago “Come here son.” Captain Blackbird beckoned to the shy young boy with dark curly hair. The boy stepped forward, closer to the wheel and the Captain. “Do you see that ocean? The choppy water, the schools ...

“Serotonin” by Aimee K

Submitted to Contest #104

“Oh come on Winter, let’s go. This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Rachel doesn’t invite us to her party every year. Can you even imagine how crazy it would be?”“Yes I can clearly imagine drunk teenagers all around her stupid house. Isn’t it illegal to drink at 17? Why would you want to be a part of illegal activities? Why don’t we just stay at home and maybe watch a movie?”“No not that again. Please let’s go. I promise you you can stay with me all the time, we will come home before two and I won’t force you to play any games or dr...

“My friend and I” by Imooluwadoye Atanda

Submitted to Contest #104

About eight years ago, I went to dinner with a dear friend I had known for more than 40 years. It would be the last time we would see each other and by the end of that evening I was deeply shaken. But more lasting and more unsettling than this has been the feeling of loss without his friendship. It was a sudden ending but it was also an ending that lasted for me well beyond that evening. I have worried since then at what kind of friend I am to my friends, and why a friendship can suddenly self-destruct while others can so unexpectedly bloom....

“Honeybees and Flora” by Amanda Gocel

Submitted to Contest #104

The energetic and bold honeybee is greatly talented in many activities for their survival. Buzzing from flower to flower, collecting residue of yellow pollen and nectar. Yet, their only defense is their stinger: and with the use of that comes their death. Flowers are gentle, colorful, and move only with the titillation of the wind. Their beauty, their talent, is worth boasting about, although they would never be able to. Each, in their mutualistic relationship, receives only what they need--nothing else, and certainly nothing less. This is y...

“Mom” by Aashutosh Dhungana

Submitted to Contest #104

Mom I am in the kitchen garden with my mother. The light has faded and the dusk is advancing. I tuck my trousers into my boots and crouch slightly and meticulously look at the fully-fledged radish about which I always grumbled. I never loved the astringent taste of radish and, even when my mother loves it with butter, I never preferred it in any manner. But today, I am glancing at it like never before because it is something you will rarely find in the north. I stopped short. Something soft and squishy had hit my back. I looke...

“Taijitu” by David Taylor

Submitted to Contest #104

The friendship was exceedingly rare, one in a billion. The two least likely people, set to be sworn enemies had allied with each other: Griffin the Straightforward and Lucas the Mighty. They were raised in different townships. Though he was known by the epithet "Straightforward," Griffin's hometown of Magnus was unremarkable. It was already a well-known breeding ground for the highly educated. Polymaths, alchemists, inventors, philosophers; great minds congregate in the township for its namesake Magnus the Brilliant was alleged to have had t...

“You're Going to Need This” by Erin F

Submitted to Contest #104

A young woman with short dark hair and a sly smile held out a bright yellow piece of paper as Eileen and May walked past. She stared deep into Eileen’s eyes, then winked and said, “Here, you’re gonna need this.” Eileen barely had time to say, “uh, thanks” before May scattered the moment, like a wisp of smoke, with a fast stream of words. “So I know I said that tonight would be just us and we’d just hangout and catch up, but I sort of agreed that we’d make an appearance at Colin’s place.” Eileen furrowed her brow as May rushed on, “They just ...

“A Smiley Man” by Muffin Hill

Submitted to Contest #104

I am a genetic introvert. I have always been very quiet both at home and in school. You are a genetic extrovert who were always so outstanding and loved at home and in school. I am always jealous about you being so well-rounded and full of friends. Do you remember those moments, you and me were in the community centre, you were ice skating on the ground and I was so timid in sliding the ice. You were always a star on the ice, like the ice skate Scott, you could always catch all the attention of the audience. I was lucky enough to always hav...

“Make me shift” by Insiya Ahamed

Submitted to Contest #104

My feet won’t cease its movement until the entire air in my lungs is completely deceased. With a great effort, I hold myself taking a clear view at the similar abode I left behind this morning. I had to run with all my strength to the place called “school” only to be returned with a single shoe, a torn bag and an extremely damaged sock. Its not surprising that I had to always flee from one mess to another and still didn’t come up with a valor to face them.I gazed at the abandoned and only place of mine even though I detest its wan smokey wal...

Being captive alone in a space of a room with a kitchen and a terrace was suffocating Alena during this lockdown." Uncle, would you please give one packet of chip.

“Ruby Blue” by Lilia May

Submitted to Contest #104

The thing about nursing homes is that they’re essentially daycares with high school politics. Daycares have the troublesome toddlers, high schools have the mean kids, and we had Zora. Everyone knew Zora. There was no way you could miss her - the most vivacious, loud, chatty person at the Blue Island Care Facility. I’d been working at the facility for six months when they promoted me to Activities Manager. Up until then, I’d just been doing paperwork in the dusty back room, but their Activities Manager had gotten pregnant, and suddenly I was...

“The Journal” by Philip Baker

Submitted to Contest #104

Back a few years ago, when I was in college, I became good friends with a girl named Stella, that was one of the most popular students in the whole facility. How this happened nobody really knows, and I still have doubts about how it came to be, as in general, I'm one of the most introverted persons one could meet. If you were to attend a party where I was participating in, you would find me usually distantiated in some corner, drinking awkwardly his drink in utter reticence and most often than not I would be the last person you would...

“Mr. Suspenders” by Christy Wopat

Submitted to Contest #104

“You know, Cecilia. Loneliness is just as dangerous as smoking. As SMOKING. Just imagine it now, your heart is deteriorating and you don’t even get the benefit of the nicotine buzz,” her mother paused for dramatic effect, which Cecilia filled with a deep sigh. Cecilia wasn’t lonely. She just liked being at home. After all, her home was perfectly comfortable, thank you very much. “Mom,” she said. “Thank you for your concern, but I’m not lonely. I have friends--great friends, actually--and they understand that I just don’t like to go o...
