Weekly Contest #360
I have been disappointing my dad since I was born. Most recently in my inability to play floor hockey. Whether my coach is racist or my sheer lack of talent is that obvious, I’ll never know. As I sit on the bench praying that he wont sub me in when Patrick or LJ need a break, I mentally prepare my GRWM evening routine I’ll post later tonight. I have 22k on TikTok and nearly 14k on IG but that would never impress my dad. Actually if you want to know the truth I think he’s pretty ashamed of my videos. And I’m not surprised by that in the sligh...
Weekly Contest #265
Today was the last day that I would be living with the Chefitz's, and I knew it would be. I heard Miriam answer the phone and immediately back out of the living room and into the kitchen where she thought she was out of earshot, (she wasn't). I heard her say my name four times and I heard the worry in her voice. And so I knew they found somewhere else for me to live. I had only been living in the Chefitz home for 11 days but I really liked it here already. For one thing, they have two different playrooms and the second one had a massive TV w...
Weekly Contest #233
Dear Florence, I wanted to write to you to tell you my story. The whole thing and the one I never had the chance to tell you before. I hated being in there but I loved being in there with you. I wish you could have stayed a bit longer, or known that the outcome wouldn’t be as scary as the income was. I'm sorry that this is getting to you too late but, I wanted it to get to you at all, so here it goes: They caught up with me on a Tuesday. My body was a dead giveaway by giving out on the abandoned hallway floor of my high school during first...
Weekly Contest #209
I want to pick up where Holden left off. In his mental state and more, I wish I had a room to lay out for a while. I have more than a room, I have a house and a yard too but it isn’t mine and they’re watching. You can't relax well when people are watching or “watching” you. It just makes you sweat. He’s my best friend, after El. I try to do more good than bad. I think that’s what life is about. I may have just figured it out. I cracked the code. But this leaves only one conclusion which is that you’re bound to do both. I’ve reached a point i...
Weekly Contest #206
Dafna Fliegelman July 9th, 2023 Writing contest #206 It's not something that's easy to talk about or to explain or even to feel, but it is real. If you were to look up the definition of the word phobia you would get something like this. “Phobia; noun, fear of spiders is just one of his many phobias: irrational fear, obsessive fear, dread, aversion antipathy, revulsion; complex, neurosis; informal thing, hang-up.” My story offers another perspective. A perspective that demonstrates how even the smallest forms of physical terror can produc...
