A smile tasting death

Hakin Edward

Submitted to Contest #59

And so I died. Of course, it hurt, the blazing sensation piercing my heart made me remember all the rejections I’ve experienced, all heartaches and traumas struck me at the same time. I think this is the famous moment when you see your life in front of your eyes, regret all you’ve refused to do, and smile because your life, despite all that, was good. Well, I just died, without any last time realization, I just… died. “So… this is it? It was less frightening than I thought, maybe a little more despair, doom, and agony, you know, the usua...

Willing to die

Hakin Edward

Submitted to Contest #57

The following document is the will of a murdered man. “My name is Ness Veingyari Third and, within the limits of these sheets, I shall determine what will be of my 27 billion dollars wealth. But first, permit me to tell the story of an old man who discovered the secret of life. It’s the usual, I was born on a farm, black and bastard son of the land’s lord and one of the servants. Since I could use my hands, they were not used to play nor learn violin, as I always heard his true son do from within their house; it was used to milk animals,...

My fake girlfriend is a succubus!

“A su-ccu-bus”, I could hear the daring grin on its voice. I tilted my head back, my pupils dilated as the brightness of the screen fled from my retina. The paper was blank and I had thousands of words left to write. My daughter was at school and my wife at a funeral, which was curious since it was me who… “Not that much inspiration today, huh?”, I heard a voice come from… somewhere? No, that didn’t make sense, I was alone and there were no noisy neighbors at this time of the day. “Hey, sir, I give up on my social phobia and you ignore me,...

Don’t stop dancing, it’s better if they don’t suspect.

“Hannes, this is Merlina”, the white-bearded old man in front of me showed the woman’s hand. “Lina, Johannes is the name, I hope you two get along well”, her Colgate-white smile and wasabi-green eyes familiarly struck me. Our hands met. I already know her! Yeah, we know that part, just shut up and pretend we don’t. “What was that?!”, I instinctively stepped back and bumped on the silver tray full of glasses the waiter was carrying. The shattering made every single alive and dead soul in the party room look at my champagne-watered dumb f...

A Source of Suffering

First of all, I’d like to inform you that his wife is not at home. “Morning, love, I’ll get your breakfast done”, Carl said to the empty bed as soon as he jumped from it. It’s already been 2 years since the accident, and I’m starting to pity him. You see, sometimes people cannot accept reality, so they change their surroundings and turn it into their ideal world. Of course, that happened before, every creation since humanity was caused by someone who did not like what they saw when not dreaming. Every medicine, ideology, revolution. It’s ...

One, Two, Three, I can't believe I forgot I was the leader!

Submitted to Contest #55

Everybody was sleeping, it was cold, past midnight and I had my boots on. “Pss, pss, c’mon, wake up”, I whispered to one of the 19 boys sleeping in the room. “Shut up, I’m not waking up”, his eyes were closed when he answered. Something had to be done, the other two were waiting outside, we’ve been through this already. Yet, Smith’s afraid and lazy ass had to screw everything up. It wasn’t like I was a bad person, it had to be done. “What’re you doin’, Smith?!”, his voice became louder and his eyes opened as soon as his blankets flew and the...
