The Train Back To The Old Life

   TW: Contains some transphobia and violence. Jonah James looked out the window of his private box on the Lemeny Night Roller. This was a train the society often used to transport their assets across the country while also making profit and financially supporting them and their endeavors in secret. The rolling of the hills reminded Jonah of the slopes back home, and it reminded him of how nervous he was. This was his first time out in the field in years after all, even though the business attire he wore was not what he...

William Earth And His First Recipe

    I ran out of the school like a bat outta heck as soon as the bell rang! I kicked the door open cause I was so excited! I jumped on my bike and pedaled as fast as I could. I was a little too big for the bike but I didn’t care. I was going to get to my family’s restaurant as fast as I could. Oh, to catch you up; over the years through small jobs and many loans from different banks, my dad reopened the family business known as “Earth’s Place!” I’ve been working there since I could walk and today was a very special day. Today ...

The Last Piano

    It’s possible to loathe someone you’ve never met. It’s possible to loathe them with a passion even though you have never seen their face.      My name is Otis Barnes. If you asked me my story you’d have to sit there for a few hours. I’ve been almost everywhere and I’ve done almost everything. I’ll admit, I’ve lived a pretty good life and I’m only thirty three.      My current occupation right now is as a private eye. However, my current client is also me.      A f...

The Cavern Tavern Inn

     Dear Dr. Bridge,      In your last letter, you asked for me to give you a full account of the last few days that I spent at home. I don’t understand why, but since you’re my therapist, I’m sure you have a perfectly good reason. Maybe if I explain to you my origins, it might help you to help me cope with my problems. You see, I was born in San Francisco California. I didn’t live there for very long because my parents didn’t have the money to live in the same city as tech mobiles, CEO...

Shatter Gets Axed

    As Carli ran off in the Seattle snow, I felt my heart break. I then felt my ribs do the same as Wolfie squeezed the life out of me.  Let me explain.     When I was ten, I found a mask.      This mask put me into the body of a baby in the Stone Age. Since then, I have reincarnated over and over and over again. I have lived many lives over the years but three things have remained the same. 1. I have superpowers. 2. I have a list of bad people that I either have to kill or capture in ...

Carli Evans and The Bomb That Got Through Security

   When you’re an HOU agent under the age of eighteen there are certain things you must do. One of these tedious things is giving up your winter breaks to train with other under age agents in one of many undisclosed locations. In fact, they are so undisclosed, that if I were to type any location within a five mile radius of any of them, a sniper would shoot me dead from the building next to me. He doesn’t believe I know he is there because I came to a ski resort in colorado to escape the eyes of that paranoid organization so t...

Awaken

     The girl opened her eyes and sat up straight with heavy breath. Her memory was foggy. She touched her neck which had stitches going all the way around to connect her head to the rest of her body. Then, she suddenly knew three things she had not known two seconds before. Her name was Tania, she was nineteen, and she had died. She looked around at the unfamiliar environment she found herself in. It seemed to be a maze of trees illuminated solely by moonlight. From deep in the trees Tania could hear something movin...

Shatter Gets Sidetracked

Ok, where do I start?  I should probably start with my little hobbit hole that I call a home. Well actually, I have a bunch of 'em all over the world. That morning I woke up in one of my favorites: an abandoned cigar factory in Moscow. I looked at my watch, saw the time, and shot up out of my snowy bed under the hole in the roof. That December day was important to me. No, it wasn’t Christmas and no, it wasn’t the birthday of anyone I knew at the time. It was important because as I got my clothes on and I walked around my little facto...

They Came In The Storm

    Have you ever been afraid?     Have you ever had that feeling when your heart pounds so hard it hurts?     Or the feeling when the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight?     That’s what THEY feed on.     The truly monstrous creatures of this world.     They crave your fear like how an actor craves applause.     It is their very reason for being.     Oh?     You don’t believe?     ...

My Friend Who Was Raised By Monsters

    I’m gonna tell you a story you won’t believe. The only reason I believe it is because I lived it. It’s a crazy story but it’s true. I’m sorry I'm not a very good storyteller, but I want to do this the best I can so why don’t I start from the beginning.     I grew up in a city but not a huge one you see I grew up in the city of Waco, Texas. The thing about Waco is that it’s the kind of city where even though it was big, everybody knew everybody by name and frankly, I hated it.  It all sounds really wa...

Carli Evans and The Vigilante

Submitted to Contest #101

     “You can do this Carli. You’re a globe trotting adventurer, slayer of mythical monsters, finder of lost treasures, and star athlete in Surfing, Gymnastics, and Powerlifting. You can do this.”       Carli Evans said this to herself as she walked through the halls of her high school in the direction of Brandon Wallis, the guy she’s had an eye for since kindergarten, and since the Sadie Hawkins dance was coming up she thought she would ask him out. After all, she was pretty and adorabl...

Johnathan Earth and A Meal That Truly Mattered

Submitted to Contest #100

   “Avus, what are we?”   The old man looked away from the counter and the dishes he was preparing on the granite countertop of his family restaurant and looked down at the small child looking back at him, chuckled and said, “Why, my leonis parum, we’re human! Why do you ask?” The boy began to frown as his head began to droop and his eyes moved their gaze down to his little feet standing in the white tiled flooring. “Well,” he said, “some of the other kids at school today were asking what I was.” “Huh”, the old ...
