Weekly Contest #338
A loud crackling sounded off within my ear and I could have sworn it echoed the London Library, causing me to tense up a bit. The fragile binding of an old storybook, deeply hidden between the stacks of the science section, opening back up for the first time - in a long time - deserves to crack its back and become unhinged. For a moment, I held my breath. Not on purpose, but in astonishment. Because my mouth was slowly hinging open along with the pulling split of paper edges seeing the light after being cloaked in the depths of darkness for ...
Weekly Contest #224
“Hi Liz.”“Hey Dawn. Did you hear about the company’s holiday party yet? Do you know what you’re gonna wear?”“Ah, no. I haven’t checked my emails yet. I just got home.”Balancing my luggage and take-out Chinese food in one hand with my phone lodged between ear and shoulder, I dig through my purse for my apartment keys. It’s been a month I haven’t had to think of this place, or work.I traded my mediocre reality for a fairytale life traveling throughout Italy, which has been a bucket list item for me for quite some time now. I’m glad I finally w...
Weekly Contest #220
Abscission of leaves and terror masked in facetious disguises colored the once calm neighborhood. The full moon and stars hid behind puffs of fuliginous clouds as gnarls from gremlin-like creatures lingered within the curb-lined bushes and spontaneous flickers of trembling bright light ignited anxious fright.She walked down the middle as a grueling chill plowed through the street, depressing a sharp shiver between the blades of her shoulders. The bone-chilling ache pounded against her spine, creating a perpetual miss of an enigma that creepe...
Weekly Contest #214
The sun sparkled across the ocean with each rippling wave as a whispering roar tumbled over tiny toes burrowing in the sand. Distant giggles from seagulls and our sweet grandchildren swam through the air as a golden glow engulfed us all. I have always loved the fresh scent of a salty breeze and cherished every detail of our annual family vacation to this exact spot, wishing summer would never end.Sixty-two years had passed in the blink of an eye. Sixty-two wonderful years since our first kiss on this beach, in this specific lifeguard stand. ...
Weekly Contest #212
The doorbell rang. I was busy escaping the dark world outside. My eyes controlled by the media radiating from the TV. Shaking my head at the strange behavior of people. Differencing of opinions disrespected, leading to personal attacks. Disagreements turning into war - into war!I look at my phone for the fourth time in the last few minutes, checking for notifications of any kind. It’s 11:11pm. I make a wish. Wait, didn’t the doorbell ring? I create a wrinkle between my brows.Who is at my door this late?I don’t feel like getting up. I’m half ...
