“Mind Hive” by Vineet Bhave

Submitted to Contest #50

Buzz…buzz…buzz I was just a boy, barely eight years old. I don’t know how it started but I was running frantically. I was being chased by a bee. Not the usual thing to be chased by but it was quite a persistent bee. Oh right, I think I plucked a flower that it was sitting on. I was quite a stupid child it seems but anyway, where was I? Yes, I was being chased. It was in the early morning so there weren’t many people on the road. I was supposed to go to school but well… nobody studies much when they’re that young anyway.&nbs...

“THE CHASE” by Gerard Watson

Submitted to Contest #50

One August day in Brooklyn, three men stand outside the entrance to the mall, whispering. "A reliable source said Corey Weaver's in this mall. We must kill him before he can get to the police and tell them we have counterfeit food stamps. Mr. Daniels will pay 100,000 dollars for those stamps. Get Corey Weaver. Understand?" "We understand, Boss." One by one, they enter the mall. They search the crowd. The Boss points to the second floor. "There's Corey." Corey sees the Boss and runs. "Sal, you take the left stairs, Paulie, you tak...

“The Game” by Erin An

I kept running. As fast as possible. I had to keep on believing I could make it, although I also believed one little trip and it was over for me. It was a chilly morning in November. As usual, and like a habit, I was picking up the usual package shipment at the depot called KTHN from an organization called M. O. M., when a person came sprinting straight towards me. From just looking at her from a distance away, she was sweaty and tired. Her hands were out, extended towards me. I put my hand up to wave towards her, yet something...

“The Channel Tunnel” by Isobel Juno

Submitted to Contest #50

The alarm system chimed loudly as the four teens ran toward the exit of the bank. One of them ran chuffed as he carried the bag with money in a disorganized way letting few bills fall from the half-open zipper. “You wanker you’re dropping everything!” One of the yelled sod off as he tried to pick up what he could of the bills while a security guard chased after him “It’s just a few bills, Ross, besides I’m sure you could still take your brother to Disneyland with this amount” Ross was not fond of Kai but he was the reason to him doing this ...

“Family Secrets” by Sandy Buxton

Submitted to Contest #50

Wading into the colorful pungent pile beginning to decay in the bedroom corner, Maria muttered to the ball of fluff wagging her tail. “And why didn’t you go outside with the rest of the miscreants, Charlie? I appreciate the moral support, but I am not sure how much help you will be.” The caramel colored dog ignored the muttering and rolled over to scratch her back on the rug. Dirty laundry smells and quality time with her human was something to be enjoyed. As various items wer...

“Monster” by Film Guy

Submitted to Contest #50

“Help! Can anyone hear me! I need help!” The words echo around the alley, filling Jani’s ears as her feet dig into the ground, her legs pumping harder, faster with each terrifying word. Her breath overtakes the screams, labored and heavy as she sprints down the narrow alley, eyes wide, the moonlight shining down on her. She needs to go faster. Move faster. Get to the end of the alley as fast as possible. She never thought it would be some kind of herculean feat, to run down an alley, and yet here she was, sidestepping around garbage ca...

“The Run” by Precious Cole

Submitted to Contest #50

In one long swoop, the boy jumped across the gutter. Landing on his feet, he felt sharp pain in his left foot. "This is bad luck", he thought. He was however determined not to let the pain stop him lest he be caught. Soon, he came to a junction, turned left and ran for a little while. He stopped at a sidewalk, looked around and realized everyone had gone to sleep as it was past eleven and the street was deserted. He slowed a little, feeling the pain once more. Then turning round the corner at the end of the street, he jumped at the snarl of ...

“NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES - OR YOUR VILLAINS” by MJ Silva

Submitted to Contest #50

NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES - OR YOUR VILLAINS James knew that not following the advice of his fellow writers to jog and do exercise every day might have some long term consequences on his overall health, but he didn't expect it to cost his life. “Breath through your nose,” James thought to himself. “Don't make any sounds before the door opens.” What he really wanted to do was gasp and lie on the ground. It had been years since the last time he had done any sort of intense physical exercise, and that might just be the death of him. ...
