Weekly Contest #356
The walls of my apartment were an ill fitting container, unable to hold my grief. I could not bear another sunny afternoon indoors, and the thought of another moment on the couch was only exacerbating the anxiety I felt, the wrongness of the loss. Knowing there are words forever left unsaid. My apartment could not contain me and so I found myself walking, almost pulled, to wander the trails near home. I had spent a year living in a small lake town, a year spent a mile from the shore, and this would be my first time I would approach it. The...
Weekly Contest #349
The first rays of sun after days of rain shone across the battlefield. The quiet was broken by the chirping of birds, signalling safety from the rain, and the end of the intense commotion of battle. Bodies littered the plain. Heavy plated knights laid half sunken in the mud surrounded by dozens of unarmored soldiers.

Elias acted quickly, as the space around him shimmered and warped as he winked out of existence, quickly reappearing directly next to the croak of his companion. He launched the pole spear as the change happened, his timing getting better and better through months...
Weekly Contest #341
At the midnight hour, in a home no bigger than a shoebox, there lived a small metal man.He tick tick ticked away as he diligently worked. He was fashioning new pieces for himself, as he was always breaking.He was fixing the joints of his legs. He clicked one out of its socket and placed it on his workspace.More rust than he would have liked had started to build up, so he cleaned that.Then he noticed a few screws had stripped, so he placed in some new ones.He was growing weary at the rate he had to fix himself.Last week he coughed up a cloud ...
