Weekly Contest #363
We left the urban hustle behind on one fine Friday and drove across state lines into farm country. Our dog’s ears were flapping in the breeze as he sat in my lap. An old black and tan Dachshund named Darwin, and Seth and I, his parents, took to the open road for our annual vacation.Our small family drove north through the wheat and corn, watching the sheep pass by. The hills beyond were flat and rolled into mountains covered in pine trees. A carriage pulled up next to our window, and the driver peered in. Four children, sporting bowl cuts an...
Weekly Contest #362
The heirs descended upon the kitchen quicker than great-grandma Hilda could clean the place from top to bottom. Her family searched the home stuck in time; not looking for jewelry or trophies of the lost matriarch, but something else.

He swept his orange hair out of his face and checked the scene through one of the ornate, wooden windows. It was a snowy night in early February, a night so frigid and blanketed in slush that it was almost impossible for the average city dweller to wade through.Brady’s duties as bartender and bar manager had come to a close for the evening. Ninety per...
Weekly Contest #358
“Herman Moony is a cool kid, I swear. He’s someone everyone wants to be friends with. You meet him and you instantly love him. For instance, right now, Herman is sitting behind his wooden lemonade stand in the front yard. This week’s setup is complete with a sign and bowl of free pretzels. He’s serving refreshments to people that walk by. He’s just like that, you know— thoughtful. Now some old man is strolling by with his dog. I think it’s that dachshund that keeps me up at night,” Gretchen Moony judged while squinting. She chuckled and caug...
