“MEETING NEW FRIENDS.” by Oluwaseyifunmi KeshinrO

Submitted to Contest #48

It’s about 2:00 pm and all are getting set for dance rehearsal which has been made paramount in the Domicile. New members were also recruited into the dance group. Everyone were set for rehearsals at exactly 2:30 pm but the dance instructor (Steven) was still expecting a new dancer who should be among the recruited but still is not present. But he gave the order for the rehearsal to commence. He climbs the flight of stairs swiftly to the top floor, where the dance rehearsal is been held. He looks amazing in his tracks suits and snicker, wear...

“An Unexpected Hero” by Elora Wiesley

Submitted to Contest #48

“Norah, sweetie” a weak voice rasped, “can you come to help me?” Norah gave a quiet sound of consent and rolled out of bed. She glanced at her clock and saw that it was six in the morning. Time made little difference to her because her mother’s cancer was not limited to the barriers of night and day. Like a sleepwalker, she stumbled to her mother’s room. She had memorized the path it took to get there; she had taken it many times in the dark. She fumbled for the light switch and squinted as the light seeped into her eyes. She watched her mo...

“HELP” by Sandra Claros

Submitted to Contest #48

- Everyone knows that volunteers really used to help people due to the money they received from private donations in addition to some help the government gave – said the goody-goody, splashing holy water over the head of all the volunteers gathered together. - But the government still owes me the money for transporting supplies to the regions affected by the drought. - You should collect it from the government secretary – the goody said to her, crossing herself, three times. - geez! ...

“OUR FRIEND” by Mary Kurpiewski

Submitted to Contest #48

OUR FRIEND -Mary Cahill Kurpiewski The moment we met her, I knew she would be a big part of our lives. It turned out to be a fact. She was always there when we needed her, good times and bad. Knowing she was around always made us feel safe and secure. She was someone we knew we could always depend on. You never had to ask her to help--you knew she would never refuse. We didn’t realize it at the time, but she entered our lives just when we needed her. We had four little kids between the...

“At the Cost of Nothing” by Jessica Antonio

Submitted to Contest #48

Humans are wonderful. Humans are dangerous. These two thoughts seeped through my mind as I walked beside my owner with a collar around my neck. My owner is a good person. She can be annoyingly clingy at times, but she takes care of me at the cost of nothing. I spent most of the day locked up in a cage. No matter how much I cried, no one came to my rescue. I wasn't allowed outside until my owner came back home. My owner has saved me many times before. As a pup, my owner's family thought of me as a nuisance. I was careful not to provoke the v...

“my own hero” by Ally Evans

Submitted to Contest #48

As per usual, my day started off with me waking up at 6:30 on the dot. I got out of bed and threw my curtains open to let the sunlight wash over my room. The warmth on my face and the sound of birds chirping was a lovely wake up call. I quickly got dressed in my favorite, bright green shirt and leggings. I opened my door, quietly, trying not to wake anyone. When I got into the kitchen I was pleasantly surprised to see that the kettle was already on. I grabbed a teabag, put it into a mug and poured some water in, leaving room for honey ...

“The Pendant” by Shyamika Hapuhinna

Submitted to Contest #48

It was only 5 minutes for the last bell. Mr. Peterson was conducting his history lesson on how Columbus got into America and all those except for those seated in the first two rows were actually living in several centuries ago – probably visualizing Columbus invasion in their minds. Visualization of invasion was so intense that Andy lost his balance and actually fell on Melissa’s shoulder. The instant slap given by Mellissa brought Andy to the present date and to the history lesson. “What’s going on?” Mr. Anderson’s thunderous voice immedi...

“Rider of Styx” by Fumi Ersan

Submitted to Contest #48

“There are only a couple certainties in life; the fact that taxes are listed as one of the certainties is certainly amusing. Somehow, the notion that something created by humanity, becoming such an integral part of their lives that they cannot imagine a world without such a thing; who wouldn’t laugh at such a thought? Wouldn’t you agree?” The black robed girl, sitting across a wooden beam, muttered those thoughts aloud as she gazed down at the figure below her: a bespectacled figure surrounded by stacks of paper was seen working at a desk as...

“Aspen the Hero” by Ella Kinnett

Submitted to Contest #48

I want to leave so bad, but I can’t, there's no way that I will get chosen. I have been in the same old tank looking at the same old faces for what has seemed to be years upon years. If any of you are wondering, it’s really boring doing the same thing every single day. Some fish who were said to be in the tank even longer than me, just didn't wake up one day. After a few days if they still were not awake they were taken away by the humans. Some say that they died of boredom, but those are just the legends and fairytales that the minnows tell...

“And then the world stopped... ” by Lucy Frejkova

Submitted to Contest #48

It was cold that morning. So cold that you had to jump up and down a few times before you managed to open the car door. It was 5 a.m. in the morning, Monday. The streets were quiet, dark and kind of scary. You sat in your car, realising how cold the seat is. You started the car, or at least that was the plan. It made kind of coughing noise. “Oh shit.” You muttered under your breath and tried again. The car made the same noise. “Oh shit!” You said, this time loudly and punching the steering wheel, you sighed. Think, think, THINK! The voi...

“The Silent Peter” by Ashley Parsons

Submitted to Contest #48

Silva. Blond, youthful and full of life. Well she was at one point in her life. If you look at her long enough you can still see it, the glimmer of hope. A “let's do this!” Attitude, a sparkle that says “I can do anything I set my mind to”. Nevertheless, today is not a time for sparkle and glimmer. Silva is a mother to three smaller humans as well as a dog, fully kitted out kitchen and a strong handsome husband to boot! She's set up really, but when she's standing at the bus stop, one arm being pulled left by a 5 year old, the ri...

“The Debt that Ignites Justice” by Muhammad Fajar Al-fath

Submitted to Contest #48

After the rainbow ends the storm, fallen leaves scattered on the road. With some blood splattered and turns the green into dark brown. Hence, they’re ready for fertilizing. A Janitor put a sour face and tighten his mask, and then brooms the leaves and collect them at the bin. Who the hell fight over here last night? He grumbled. It is not sure if he is annoyed by the dirt or He is afraid of getting a disease with the unsanitary blood. The night before that, Alice was on the way home from the club. She was walking towards the Greenmis...

“they came from the vat” by Derek Brown

Submitted to Contest #48

They were fed up. This was the second fight this week. Though there were more injuries as opposed to casualties this time. Collateral damage would never be forgivable. At least not in this town. This time it was one of them who lost someone close to them. He had been sitting in an unlocked cell looking into the void of spent emotion for awhile now. There would be no point in locking the door even if they new why he was there to begin with. They had seen him rip a car apart with his own bare hands. He was an Adonis, those who were not out...

“A Different Kind of Savior ” by Javeria Salman

Submitted to Contest #48

Sara has not been paying attention to me lately. Usually, she came home, put food in my bowl, rubbed my ears, and picked me up, carrying me to the living room to plop me on the sofa. Lately, however, she has been…distant. She comes home, puts food in my bowl, and then goes straight to her room. She doesn’t come out till dinnertime. We live alone in a small apartment because her school is far from her home. She has two siblings, Mark and Eliza, and if I’m being completely honest, without them here, there is a lot more peace and quiet. Since s...

“Sunbeam ” by Cynthia Black

Submitted to Contest #48

This is a fairy tale for those who do not believe in fairy tales. Once not so very long ago, a lake was discovered that provides all who drenched themselves in its waters with something extraordinary. Nestled deep within the Blue Forest of Belgium between the Zenne River and the Zonien Woods is Lake Sapphire. Unlike any other in the world is the Blue Forest with its beautiful yet eerie carpet of bluebells and giant Sequoia trees. At night Lake Sapphire is said to glow. By day one must squint to shield its brilliant blue. It’s a wonder...
