Highway to hell! Stairway to heaven?

Weekly Contest #119

I lived a lazy life filled with poor judgements. I worked as a programmer and hacker during the nights. I lived a fairly wealthy if not good life. When I was 40, I died, I chocked on a KFC chicken wing bone. “Hello there, Martin.” As I died, I saw in front of me a man dressed in a white suit. “Hello... who are you?” the man smiled. “I’m no one important, I’m but a guide to the afterlife.” I looked around; I was in a white void. There was nothing but the man and 2 doors. “Where exactly am I?” the man opened his arms. “Welcome to the room of c...

Jeff

Weekly Contest #118

I woke up in a dimly lit room. I felt weight on my hands and ankles. I don’t remember what happened exactly, all I can remember are blood-stained walls and my own hand covered in blood. “Oh, I see you’ve awoken.” I looked up to see a woman in a lab coat. She walked closer to me with her notepad as she looked at me. “Tell me, do you remember anything?” I was still confused about everything. Why was I chained up? What happened. But the only thing I could say was. “Blood.” Hearing my own voice at that point startled me. That isn’t my voice, at ...

Empty man

CW: suicideI sit here, under the bridge, watching the river go by and think of my past. I remember all of my mistakes and all my cowardice.I look down at my grandfather’s revolver and look at the six empty chamber. “One for everyone I’ve failed.” I pulled out the bullets from my pocket, took one in my fingers and rolled it between my fingers. “Such a little thing, yet it has the power to free me and everyone from me.”I take the bullet and insert it into the chamber. “The first bullet for the love lost and never gained. I’m sorry for never tr...

Broken call

Weekly Contest #115

My name is Carol, and I’ve been friends with Britney ever since kindergarten. We didn’t really live too close to one another, but it never bothered us, since we just made our mothers take us to meet each other. We have been friends for almost 10 years today, she knew me better than anyone else, and I knew her. We spent every evening chatting either by messages or on a call. Because of the long hour talks we had, we’d always get in trouble with out parents, but since we both got internet, we started to chat or call online. Today was a day jus...

something fun

“Hey Pete, you wanna have some fun?” Those were the words that ended my stress-free life. “Sure Ralph, what do you have in mind?” he just gave me a wink and a smile. “Just trust me bro, it’s gonna be fun.” He said as he packed up his bag and left the classroom. “Come on Pete, come with me.” He said as he motioned his arms outside the classroom for me to follow. “But we still have 2 more classes.” “It’s fine, the teacher won’t notice, I asked chuck to sign in for us.” I reluctantly followed him, still looking back at the classroom as we heade...

Jim

Weekly Contest #112

My name is Jenna, and this is a story about how we never really know how much time we all got with one another. I met Jim about 3 months ago. Jim was a man of large build who worked as a lumberjack in the town. I had come here thinking to just refuel my rations and car and move on, but as I entered the diner looking for a quick bite, Jim instantly grabbed my attention, this man, arms as thick as the lumber he has been chopping, beard reaching down to his chest, reading a book of sorts, I can’t really recall. I sat at the table facing his, fo...
