The Scientist's Final Equation

Allen Sacco

Submitted to Contest #328

The Scientist's Final EquationIssak lay rigid, the steady beep of the monitor mocking his loss of control. Ellen sat beside him, her hand hesitant near his arm, her warmth a painful contradiction to the sterile air. He saw her face, blurred by his failing vision, and understood that she represented the missing wooden deck on his magnificent, lonely bridge. I believe I saw the world in equations, a symphony of numbers and angles. The world was a problem to be solved, and I, Issak, was the architect of my destiny. I built my life with the tool...

The Voix of the Orchard

The Lumina Quest

Allen Sacco

The Lumina Quest A sharp, winter-like wind, piercing the explorer's thin cloak, served as a painful reminder of the warmth of home, a warmth that now felt impossibly distant, a fading ember against the encroaching chill. Below, uncharted mountains, with their jagged, obsidian peaks, clawed at a twilight sky of bruised purples and inky blues, a canvas of perpetual dusk that promised neither the vibrant clarity of day nor the deep solace of true night. This was a land steeped in ancient legends and a subtle, pervasive magic, a magic that manif...

She was a silent girl, content to watch the world from the edge of the lake. People often overlooked her, assuming her silence meant simplicity. But e...

Exploring Places

Allen Sacco

Submitted to Contest #320

Elias was very curious and wanted to explore unknown places. He walked deeper into the old, quiet forest. The gigantic trees had twisty branches that blocked the sun, making the forest floor look dim, like twilight. With each step felt like he was entering a special, forgotten place. The sound of leaves crunching under his boots was the only thing breaking the deep silence.Soon, the path he knew disappeared. In its place were tangled roots and plants. A worried feeling grew inside him. The delightful smell of pine and wet dirt now seemed str...
