Weekly Contest #349
Today is April 31st. It is the year 2028 in the United States of America. Our country was hit by a second viral infection that quickly turned into a pandemic. It has been named AMSPEED28 and it has swiftly killed 200,000 people. Americans immediately thought COVID19 was rearing its ugly head back up but it is a completely new unidentified strain. The CDC quickly stepped in and investigated the possible cause of the disease and its origin. It was first believed to be transmitted by air but was soon determined to be from a blood infection. Odd...

I could hear my heart beating so loudly It sounded like it would jump out of my chest. I felt paralyzed like I was frozen in place laying in my bed. The sounds started about two weeks after I was transferred to a new job in a new city and new home. The transition had gone smoothly and life seemed good.

She asked my Government teacher if she could u...

One kid in the front spoke up, “do ya wanna have some fun?” I was a little shocked that he hadn’t even introduced himself but I replied, “maybe later. I’m kind of in the middle of settling in. I’m Josh Farris.” “Oh we know who you are, we’ve been expecting the new rich kid. I’m Ben Harper. I’m Head Boy for the 3rd Floor. I’m the guy you need to know if you need anything.” Josh cho...
Weekly Contest #344
My First Love That I Never Met My name is Cathy Wells Carter. I am presently 75 years old. I was only 17 years old, a high school student, when my story started. It was 1967 during the Vietnam war. Back during this time there was no such thing as email, texting or cell phones. All communication was complete by letters written on pretty stationary paper with real ink. At home it was common to have only one telephone and it was a rotary phone that hung on the kitchen wall or in a hallway. Otherwise, we wrote and mailed letters to friends and ...
