Weekly Contest #46
The wind gently lifts the hair off her back as she bends down to pick up the broken wing off the ground. Brushing the bird droppings off, she surveys the damage of the angelic figure that watches over her baby brothers. “Did they damage it again?” Rachel asked as she comes to stand next to me in front of the headstone. “Last month it was the vase, the month before that, it was a huge chip off the corner of the pedestal. This is supposed to be a perpetual care cemetery!” Cat ground out. “Well it is perpetual care; they perpetually don’t ca...
Weekly Contest #45
They didn’t know they were being watched as they floated above the community of Bear River. They idly let the wind carry them as they observed the inhabitants below. Their duty had been a quiet and peaceful one for the most part. They didn’t worry about the Evil One, he usually only sent his demons to the larger more populated cities, where they could cause the most chaos. But Bear River was a small town; with a population of only around 10,000. Though small it had a very diverse populace. The people had a good ole town folk mentality too; e...
Weekly Contest #44
We are lost in an action film, the sounds of pounding feet, shouts and breaking glass are the musical score and the smoke and heat blanketing the street are the special effects. This insanity has to be fiction, real people aren’t monsters that destroy property, raze neighborhoods and attack and kill others! But as I sit in the middle of Main Street cradling my dying sister in my arms, I know this is my reality, not a high budget action film. Tears make long furrows down her soot stained cheeks and blood trickles from the corner of her mouth...
Weekly Contest #43
Blades of light stab her eyelids in an attempt to pry them open, but she refuses to concede and throws her arms across her face. She feels a sweaty body lying against her side. She scoots over to break the contact, the body rolls with her. Disgusted, she climbs out of bed and looks for her clothes, spying her shirt among the trash and empty beer cans, she grabs it. Who is that guy in the bed? She remembers seeing him the previous night, but she didn’t speak to him, he wasn’t her type. Too much beer and too many pills obviously lowered her st...
Weekly Contest #42
The neighbors dog was barking incessantly, its high pitched wail is setting my teeth on edge. Groggily I roll over and cram my pillow over my head, but it does little to silence the noise. “Shut that dog up” I shriek at nobody and everybody. My head feels like its going to burst, I am so tired I can barely open my eyes. My body aches too. I must be coming down with something. I look at the clock, its 6:30. Ugh! I’m late. Why didn’t my alarm go off, I needed to be up a hour ago. No time for a shower, that I could really of used to wake me up...
Weekly Contest #41
“I love it when it rains.” Emily exclaimed in delight. Her brother Emmott was whooping it up, running and sliding thru the puddles. He dashed close by Emily, sending a large plume of water her way. “I love the rain.” He shouted. “ I just said that silly.” She yelled over the noise he was making. “Oh, I didn’t hear you but I sure agree.” Emmott laughed. He ran at Emily and straightening his body and chest bumped her. Emily started making booming sounds deep in her throat and copied what her brother had just done. She hit him slightly off cent...
The day Brandy came into our life was like any other, my brothers and I were in the backyard under our big mulberry tree. We were making a city for my brother’s hot wheels cars. I had the broom and was sweeping the dirt; yes dirt, to make roads. We had a lake; that we had to keep refilling as the water absorbed into the ground. We also had hills and valleys that wrapped around the base of the tree. Several buildings made of twigs and grass dotted the landscape, and we had a huge volcano. The volcano was the epicenter of our city. We would s...
Weekly Contest #40
“Hey Carol, we’re going to the store for some munchies want to come along?” Brenda asked her friend. “I don’t think you and Sarah should leave the apartment tonight, did you see the moon?” Carol absently said as she gazed out the front room window. “Why should we stay home?” Sarah wanted to know, just catching the tail end of the conversation. “Carol is afraid the moon looks strange” Brenda joked. “Are you now into some new age mysticism or something Carol?” Sarah frowned. Carol frowned back at her two roommates, Brenda never took anything s...
