Weekly Contest #90
THE DEVIL’S TREE “Your late.” Max said out of the corner of his mouth as Meter snuck into the pew next to him. “Oh yeah I’m sorry I overslept.” Meter sniffed, wiping his nose with the back of his hand. Max winced. “On the holiest day of the year?” Max tried to inject as much poison as possible into his words. Unfortunately, none of it seemed to affect Meter. “Oh yeah, today’s Pots and Pans Day isn’t it?” Meter said. Max stared at Meter in disbelief. “It’s Earth Day you imbecile!” BANG! A shot of pain shot across the top of his head. Ma...
Weekly Contest #89
THE TIMELY AFFAIR “The future…my past…your present…its all connected…” Emperor Henry began to cough again, this time for at least 5 minutes. “Oh please my love don’t speak.” Empress Anne whispered as her 600 year-old husband who didn’t look a day over 50 (and neither did she for that matter), hacked up blood. Old age had finally caught up with him. Tripping over his own feet down the spiral staircase from his own lab in the palace had broken a couple ribs and punctured a lung that refused to heal. Henry looked deeply into his bride’s eyes...
Weekly Contest #85
THE UNOFFICIAL, DECLASSIFIED, SNIPE HUNT “That’s the thing about this city…it’s just brimming with love.” Alan said, leaning in for the kiss. The scenery was perfect. They were on top of a skyscraper, a large Valentine’s Day billboard behind them, and a view of the bustling city and its sparkling lights glittering in the dark. But Laura turned away and stood up. “Alan, there’s something that I must tell you.” “Oh no.” Aaron said in a whisper. “Oh he’s dead.” Mike whispered back. “Shhh they’ll hear us!” Tim shushed. “Oh good because ther...
SALVATION IN A BOOK Covid. The dread disease of the early 21st century. The disease that plunged the entire world into the Deep Dark Ages. For it had mutated into a virus that targeted and played with, the DNA of humanity. It was a massacre. And for the first time in history, mankind nearly became extinct. Until the vaccine. The vaccine destroyed all forms of Covid. But it had one unforeseen side effect that made it just as deadly to the human race. It made it impossible for men to issue a girl. And so our story begins at a crucial point in...
Weekly Contest #83
THE ALIEN AND HIS LOVER He emerged out of the ocean naked, yet without having neither posterior or frontier. He carried a spear from which fire came forth, and he had a helmet on his head. His four fingers were skinny, and so was his long, pretty, green neck. His feet each had one big toe and that’s all. He stood on the beach firmly. He spoke a language that sounded part lion part dolphin and part cockney. I couldn’t look away at the horrifying sight. Was I afraid? No. I was in love. I used to always believe in true love, yet I had secretl...

THE APP AND LOVE Steven stared at his computer screen, a smile on his face. “Say that again.” He smirked. “Tell me where I am you little prick.” The frowning emoji on the black background of the app that Steven had been painstaking building said. “This is great!” Steven laughed. “Instead of an app that translates animal sounds to English, I’ve made an app that is self-aware! “I don’t care if I’m an app or whatever I demand to know where I am!” the app screeched. Steven rubbed his hands together, ignoring the app. “I can copy this app se...
