Weekly Contest #65
As most of you know, Halloween is a holiday in which everyone dresses up in a different costume. The ghost one is most preferred. I will be with it this year! But it won’t be a costume, unfortunately. A few months ago, I had an accident with my best friend. Then I immediately came out of my body, but I did not see a spirit from her body. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, it turned out that I died on the spot, but she is alive. Then everything around the funeral and the sad moments were painful. But there was nothing I could do to ret...
It was Sunday, the laziest of all days. You can have work from Monday to Friday, sometimes on Saturday, but Sunday was the day for absolute rest. But no, not mine. Today I had to move all my luggage to my new home, in the Freudor neighborhood. It was an impressively quiet place, the neighbors looked quite calm in appearance and I think I would feel good there. The neighborhood itself was in the suburbs. Anyway, enough for that, it was time to get my things out. On the way there, I wondered what it would be like, whether it would be fun to ...
Little Annie was preparing for her first Halloween night, in which she would go around and ask people, “Trick or Treat?”. Her costume for this year’s celebration was Princess Leia’s cosplay. Her mother braided her hair, and she also wore a cloak because she would accompany Annie and her little friends for the night. After some time of preparation, it was time to go out. “Mom, I’m very excited! Do you think that I will be able to fill my basket with candies?” - Annie asked as they walked. “Of course, darling, we just have to go around a l...

The day was Halloween, the children were preparing for the long midnight tour of the houses, ready to collect all kinds of treats. We are at Laila Kenneroad’s house, where her little sister was dressing in Princess Aurora’s clothes. She, on the other hand, didn’t like Halloween. It seemed pointless and silly for her to dress like a superhero, a princess, or a villain, and to go from house to house saying “Treat or mischief?” Laila was getting ready for a movie night she would spend in her warm, soft bed. But it didn’t happen that way. Her ph...

It was the beginning of October, the weather was getting colder and the nature was colorful. I loved autumn, it brought me some coziness. It was not like summer, constantly hot, nor like spring - frequent rains. It was beautiful because of the variety of colors describing an amazing natural picture. My parents and I went to visit my grandfather in the village. Every year at this time we would gather to pick apples as big as Dad’s fist. And my father was a big man. Arriving there, he greeted us with a rich meal and long conversations. When my...
Weekly Contest #62
“This is a child. I do not predict the future of children.” - The old woman said, turning her head away. “I’ll pay you more than you make in a year.” - The lady hissed haughtily in front of her. “Money doesn’t build a happy life, dear child.” - Matilda, the old woman, replied. - “But if you want that so much, fine. Give me the child …” The lady handed her baby to the old woman, who shuddered slightly, but did not show it with an expression. She picked it up and looked into its eyes, blue eyes as deep as the ocean, light skin as soft as sunri...
A normal day, I woke up at nine in the morning so as not to miss the English exam. As always, I got up, took a bath, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and had breakfast. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, is it? Yes, until I went to university. As I entered the exam room, I felt a strange feeling that I seemed to have already experienced. I was wondering where to sit, but it was as if the second place in the front row was calling to me and I decided that I had a good feeling. I sat there and the moment the lecturer handed out the test sh...
Weekly Contest #61
“How do you run this washing machine, Maria?” - Michael asked, screaming from the laundry room. “I’m coming, darling, don’t touch!“- His wife called from the kitchen. Michael stood up and heard the bell on the mailbox, a sign that the mail had arrived. He headed there and unwittingly pressed one of the buttons on the washing machine, which turned it to 100 degrees. He reached into the box and pulled out a single letter, yellow in color and sealed with wax on the front, the seal of Lovgard High School. Michael sighed, and the next moment he...
The day was September 9th. My mother and I were in the car on the way to the cemetery, where we were going to visit my late father. She parked the car and we got out. We bought four carnations from the flower girl and walked to the grave. He was at the end of the cemetery, died seven years ago, strucked by blood cancer, also known as leukemia. His death was a shock to all of us, especially to my mother. I could never get close to him because he was always working and there was no time for me. That’s why I’m not very traumatized when I come h...
