Letters to Heaven

Submitted to Contest #105

Peter-They say if you write a letter and tie it to the end of a balloon, it'll drift its way to heaven. I never really believed in things like that, and really only thought of it as a bunch of crap.But I was desperate.Lila had been dead for over a month. Everytime I picked up the phone, I knew it wouldn't be her sweet voice that I'd hear.It would never be hers, not ever again.Everytime the doorbell rang, everytime its sound echoed through my house, I knew it wouldn't be her beautiful face that I'd answer to.How can someone you love so much l...

Charles' New World

Submitted to Contest #105

Charles was EXCTIED! He had just gotten the call that the cornea transplant surgery for his eyes would be scheduled in the next week. Ever since he had fallen off that horse and injured his eyes a few years ago, he hadn’t been able to see. His Doctor had put him on the transplant list for new corneas, but so far, none had arrived; until today. He had “memories” of being outside and enjoying the hiking trails in the area, and had felt the sun on his face, the past few years. But, that’s ALL he had! He hadn’t been able to see anything since hi...

The Beginning of Our Lives at the End of the World

Submitted to Contest #105

Sam.“State officials are warning people to stay inside for the apocalypse, citing studies that state the home is the best place to experience the end of the world. Republican pundits say that only homes with holocaust shelters will allow any chances of survival, while the House continues to debate whether or not our impending doom should be embraced, as many Democrats are deciding to do. In any case, the end is drawing near.”The coffee is already cold. I must’ve got it started too early in an attempt to fill my day with things to do. I got l...

Stranded by Friends By Nikita Fernandez

Submitted to Contest #104

On a bright sunny day, my friends and I were planning to go to a concert at night. As we got ready to go to the concert, I got a bad feeling about this. And as we began our journey my friends started to argue about which way the concert was. At this point, it was getting late, and the car was out of gas, we had no food, no extra change of clothes, and flashlights batteries died. After 2 hours had gone by, we decided to get help, but my friends stayed behind in the car. As I searched for help, I found an old dusty, broken, and moldy...

Change of Plans

Submitted to Contest #104

Melvina kicked off her pumps. In stocking feet, skates down the hall into the living room, pirouettes in front of the sofa and flops on it giggling. Still got it. With her head back and arms spread, she inhales. No conversations, meals to plan, or places to go tonight or tomorrow. Enjoying her own company, something she discovered in her youth, but marriage, motherhood and devotion to Christ changed her perspectives. To engage others a challenge for her. Opportunities arose from the neighbor who asked for help to search the community for h...

She's for Me

Submitted to Contest #104

“So, are you coming tonight?” Cindy frowned then sighed. “Okay, I understand, family first. No don’t worry about me, there will be others there. “So, everyone always says, “I’ll be there,” and you prepare and get excited and then suddenly the calls or now-a-days the texts start coming in and phooy.’ Lisa watched her friend running around picking up things, moving them around, putting them back, she was clearly upset. She kept throwing her long, red braid back behind her and it kept sliding around agitating her. Picking a relatively slow m...

NEVER LOVED

Submitted to Contest #104

‘’Are you coming tonight,” with a smiling face, I asked Dooshima as we both sat down that morning watching television. “Yes, dear why not? you know I cannot afford to miss such an interesting movie,” she answered as we both smiled at each other.Wow!!! I silently said in my heart as I looked dumbfounded at my friend’s beauty, I wondered how God must have spent so much time in designing and redesigning her.My friend Dooshima is a very decent and pretty woman, she is dark in complexion, tall, has a fine figure, her fine face is beautified ...

Christians and Kais: An Average Visit From my Introverted Friend

Submitted to Contest #104

WARNING: Slight Spoiler for a Season 3 Episode of Cobra Kai When it comes to being friends, Dusty and I are an interesting match, and it is not because my house is two floors not counting an attic or basement and his is a 4 room apartment. It is also not the fact that he is a localized technophobe, as in he is a technophobe when it comes to technology past the VERY early 2000s. One time for example I actually had to go on Amazon to find him Gamecube controllers because his broke and he under NO CURCUMSTANCES will upgrade the console to eve...

What is Normal?

Submitted to Contest #104

What is normal ? Who defines such a thing? Webster dictionary describes normal as an example of a pattern doing the same thing , routine , this is normal. But in comparison the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. How could two opposite descriptive words ,who define all humanity have similar definitions,but oppose each other . So are those that expose themselves to be normal , really have the correct definition of what normal is? As an introvert, I have often been labeled as unbalanced or ...

No more PTSD episodes...

Submitted to Contest #104

"Are you coming tonight?" asked Tony. "I will if you want me there, I will come" Brandy nonchalantly said. Tony was hesitant to answer, or else he was fixed on watching the boxing match. Either way, I didn't like being a third wheel. "Tony.......Tony do you want me to come tonight?" Oh I was starting to get annoyed. Why would someone ask you a question, and ignore the answer. Oh that gets me, if he asked me- you be sure that I better answer, if he asked me that question. And Ton doesn't wait around for anyone. Well, all that o...

“On the Background”

Submitted to Contest #104

“Hey! What’s up guys?” I always greet my friends this way with a big big smile on my face. They know me as someone who is always cheerful; who is courageous enough to face challenges; who is someone whom they can always depend unto. I like the way they see me as someone strong and who is always there for them. They say that they admire me for being sometimes inspirational and I’m happy that I am. I am happy to see them happy whenever I’m with them even though it takes me a lot of effort to do so. -- My name is Rob. 24 years in existence. D...

He leaned back against the tree. “I was just praying. The sunli...

Maybe we'll be sisters

Submitted to Contest #104

"I'm never going out with you again, Dad!" Ashley said under her breath as she left the dance hall. It was really the school gym, but it was decorated in a theme to make it look like a dance hall. Ashley felt humiliated and completely childish. Andy walked to the car with a bewildered look of fear and confusion on his face. As soon as both doors were closed he looked at Ashley and said, "Sweetheart, I have lost your mother, and I can't bare to think of loosing you. You don't watch the news, you don't hear the reports about the kidnappi...
