She Broke A Little Bit Today

(this is an excerpt from a book I am writing. It is a paranormal romance set in a pre-dystopian world. Charlie is a character that was taken by a future tech company and experimented on with DNA infused tech. It's about her mental state upon returning after getting free.) Charlie's fingers hovered over the phone screen, thumb hesitating mid-type, words flickered in her mind โ€“ half - thoughts, half-jokes, and none of them right. Bruises spilling like ink, blooming low on her ribs, tucked where fabric could hide them but not the ache when she...

My life has been formed by a series of events. My mother met my father while away on a trip with her folks, to visit friends in the UK. Yep, I have an American mother and a British father. It can get downright hilarious at times. My father was so sad when my mother's parents took her home. But he had no say in her leaving or staying since she was only 17 years old. Mother was full of joy and always had a smile on her face, except the day they went back to America. But that didn't stop her from writing father every single day. It wasn...

Antarctica, 2023. "Sarah!"  "Yeah!" I shouted."Go get on the sat-phone and tell them drilling will have to wait. It's too windy to try to get a core sample!" "10-4!"I trudged against the strong Antarctic winds to the base and took my gloves off as I entered. "Ow, shit!" "What happened?" Bill asked as he came through the base door."It shocked me.""It's a sat-phone Sarah. They don't shock you." He asserted as he picked it up to make the call. "See!" He shook it back and forth at me."What's going on?" Carlos asked walki...

Jared's Love

Jared was humming as he was cooking. As he let the steaks fry, he walked to the dining room, setting the roses he had bought earlier, all over the table. Each one had its own small vase and candle. He was excited. It was the first time he had gotten to cook for Becca on their anniversary since they were married. He was humming the anniversary song as he walked back to the kitchen to take the steaks out of the pan. He started to make white gravy as the phone rang.He glanced at the clock, it was 9:24 p.m. she should be home soon he though...

He Calls Me Buttercup

Weekly Contest #81

"Scott?" I looked up to see him climbing in bed. "What's up, Buttercup" he whispered. He had called me that since the first day we met."What would you be doing now, if we had never met?" I asked as seriously as I could while snuggling up close to him."Well, let's see. I think I would be riding my Harley, looking around at the beauty around me on the trip im taking with the guys." He looked serious but then laughed. I pinched him on the side, "That's what we do already." I chuckled."My heart would be pining for you." He laughed agai...

Anpetuwi and Hanwi~The Sun and the Moon

Weekly Contest #81

This is in no way a real Native American story, well at least I don't think it is. It is just my take on an age old story that has breached the walls of time. It has been told throughout cultures in many different ways and may be close to a Native American story. But this is My version. I hope you enjoy.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ehaniโ€ฆ Long ago, there was a great Ahiyu, or chase. Hanwi, the moon was always chasing Anpetuwi, the sun. Hanwi was a great warrior for Wakan Tanka, The Great Spirit. He defended the night for Wakan Tanka...

His Name Is Theo

Weekly Contest #81

My life has been a struggle but has also been exciting. As for the moment, there are lots of things I don't remember.I had moved back to my hometown in 2017. I hadn't been here in 25 years. "Wow, feels good to be home." This was a place I tried to run from for 18 years and now, 25 years later, I am running back. The lake was always so inviting. I live on a lake called Texoma. It is right on the red river between Oklahoma and Texas. I am originally from Oklahoma too but have lived all over since I graduated high school. Illinois, Vi...

The year was 2518 and I was just a teenager. My name is Molly and im 14 years old. My dad just got home from jail, wellโ€ฆ prison. Prison here doesn't work like it did in the past.

Which seems to be working and it is free labor.I was only five years old when my dad went to prison, so I only remember what my mom has told me. That makes me angry because my dad going to prison put us running and hiding indefinitely. If we d...

When History Won't Be Forgotten

Weekly Contest #80

1986, big hair, crazy outfits, Debbie Gibson was one of the biggest pop stars as well as Tiffany. No one really had any worries in the world. It was great. Back to the Future was still a hit and Saturday morning cartoons were still sought after. Nothing was better than waking up and seeing Mr. Whipple on the tv im the morning on his commercials. "Time to make the donuts." He would say. The 1980s was one of the best decades in history. We had Guess Jeans, Keds shoes, Nike, and The Brass Buckle, known just as The Buckle now. The eigh...

"My name is Josh." He looked next to him."My name is Rose." She shrugged."My name is Jamie." She pushed her glasses up. "I'm Micheal."

  ***Trigger warning*** Active shooter***It was early. Shane was not ready to face the day. She glanced over at her phone knowing it would quiet soon. Laying there in silence, she questioned how she become boring. The phone rang again. โ€œIf it werenโ€™t for my ringtone" I would throw that damn thing,โ€ she said to no one. It played the intro song of Sons Of Anarchy every time it rang. Again her phone silenced. She didnโ€™t know long she laid there, but she did know that her phone went off 12 times before stopping. โ€œOh my God,โ€ she exclai...
