Weekly Contest #371
The brand-new geriatric care center looked magnificent from the outside, but inside it was new without being impressive. It's hard to make a place like this seem grand when it offers little hope and only endings. I have been volunteering here on morning shifts for a few months. My father was a patient here and died in this hospital, too. Giving my time here was the right way to make things right. I'm not much for bedside comfort, but I'm dependable and hardworking, and that helps me feel better about myself. There is nothing wrong with ...
Weekly Contest #364
The guest in Room 4 had complained twice about the ceiling. She was a woman from Athens paying eighty euros a night for authentic Pelion charm—exposed chestnut beams, grey slate roofs, and stone walls that kept out the summer heat—but she hadn't bargained for the damp."It’s not a leak," she’d told Elpida that morning, pointing a manicured finger up at the corner above the hand-carved bed.

I smiled back...

Since moving to a small rural village in Greece two years ago, Zoe had just bought a 6,000-square-meter olive grove right next to her house. The plot was sold cheaply, and she didn't know whether to cultivate it or lease it to local farmers.Zoe couldn't believe her luck: owning a vast piece of land overlooking the bay, with a castle on its premises. The old Venetian tower was the last standing remnant of a real castle, long gone now. But a castle it was, for the sake of history, and tourists. The tower was on the plot, but Zoe did not own it...
Weekly Contest #355
She drove the minibus the way she always did—carefully. When they reached their destination, she opened the automatic door, and the passengers stepped out one by one, gathered together, and waited for the driver.Not a sound disturbed the silence around them.It was that chilling time before demolition.The driver stepped out of the minibus after making sure no one was left behind.The Veical was the minibus of the "Night Mover's Ghost Transport Service."Darkness wrapped the house and Yard. There was a purpose to the nighttime pre-demolition cer...
