Weekly Contest #350
My name is Jayla Jennings. My story started when I was nine years old and the experiences I had have lasted a lifetime mixing love, fun and family. It all began on my two week summer vacation at my aunt and uncles home on a small little ranch outside of Hawkey, Texas. It’s located just north of Abilene. My uncle Harlan Moore and my Aunt Rita Moore have three children Maddie, age 11, Adam age 8, and Pamela age 4. It was always an adventure going to their house since it was out in the country. There was always some wild adventure waiting for m...

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. Unusual and incomprehensible things started and ripped a comfortable life into living in sheer terror. I’m Roxanne (Roxi) Sanderson, a 35 year old single mother working a full-time job as a Development And Training Manager for a large teleco...

I’m Gemma Lucci and I’ve almost completed another day of my boring, teenage life in high school. Government is the last class of the day. The whole class is slumped in our seats, blankly staring at the clock. Our teacher even looked sleepy as we finished watching an old video about different government departments. Boring! Finally the bell rang and it's the weekend. Ms. Patterson, our school counselor, was waiting outside the classroom door. Gemma, hold on just a moment, I need to speak to you. She asked my Government teacher if she could u...
Weekly Contest #346
PRESCOTT ACADEMY Do you wanna have some fun? I had just put away my belongings in my room at my new school when a group of noisy boys appeared in my open doorway. 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 ...
