Weekly Contest #317
The hands on the grandfather clock in the living room of my grandfather's house fly around, counter-clockwise. I squeeze my eyes closed as the last 40 minutes or so play in reverse around me. I can hear the sounds of the events, though they’re muffled, almost inaudible. I can feel myself moving backwards through the motions and the emotions too. As the clock rewinds, the events that occurred disappear. I get to choose the moment they begin to be rewritten. I choose now.

Cleaning the kitchen becomes a less mundane task when the turntable in the living room transports you like a time machine to any concert by any ban...
Weekly Contest #209
The sun reflects on the windshield, causing temporary blindness and illuminating the filth that has accumulated since I last went through the car wash. I squint like I need a rather thick pair of glasses and pull down the sun visor. The road begins to repaint itself in front of my eyes.We are on a long stretch of highway, single lane, that is completely surrounded by trees on either side. Other than the occasional gap between them that's filled with nothing but tall grass. The road is mostly shaded, but open spaces between the trees and bran...
