Weekly Contest #73
Honking from vehicles on the street down below echo loudly as they drive aggressively down the street. Snow twinkles slowly past the window, showing off their unique patterns. Lights from the Christmas tree light up the room nicely, giving a warm aura through the small, one room apartment. A knock on the door, immediately sends the young twenty something back into reality as she slowly opens her front door. The feeling of anxiousness brews through her body as she allows the feeling of anticipation waft through ...
Weekly Contest #72
Wind gushed down my back as I sprinted down the empty streets. The wailing of the wind screamed through my ears as I watched the trees sway as if they were threatening to leave their roots and crawl away. Fear tattooed my face as I gathered adrenaline, drawing the last bit of energy from my veins. Quickly, I took a small peak behind me to make triple sure that he wasn’t following me. A small weight fell off my shoulders as a unconscious breath escaped my lips. The street laid barren behind me. Nobody. Just me and my panic thoughts wres...
Weekly Contest #71
Snowflakes trickle by the window as they shine from the winter sun. Instrumental version of Christmas carols play from her phone as it lays next to her on the counter. With a huff of frustration she blows her loose hair away from her face. She stands still as a statue as she stares deeply into the flour filled counter, millions of thoughts seep through her mind as she desperately tries to retrace the family recipe that’s been passed down through many generations. A chime from the door, brings her back into reality as she ...
Weekly Contest #70
Trigger warning: violence Sirens fill my ears as I stand, staring at the body bleeding out onto the street. The more I try to move, the more I could feel the urge to lay my eyes upon my once best friend. Emotions of all sorts fill my body as I cannot find the power to leave her behind, I know I should leave while I still can as the sirens are getting louder. But I just can’t. Guilt, sadness, scared and a tiny bit of relief cover me up like a blanket, keeping me warm through the cool winter air. Crowds begin to gather like magg...
Weekly Contest #69
Trigger warning: verbal abuse and violent outbursts “Just breathe, you can do this,” I lie to myself as I sit in my car, listening to the hum of the engine as I procrastinate entering my parents home. “Three years, three long miserable years at the business…I can do this…I can. All I have to do is walk in and give my resignation.” I sigh as I turn off my car and open the door, feeling the cool air hit my face as it blows through my hair. The door bell chimes as I contemplate ditching the family dinner, it’s not too la...
Weekly Contest #68
A smile forms onto her slim face as she watches the sun rise above the mountains in awe. Something so simple can affect her so easily is almost sad to watch. Orange reflects off the mountains as the floating beacon finds its resting place just below the clouds. Eagles hoot as they dive for their early morning snack, the trees stand still as theres not a single gust of wind in sight. “We better get moving if we want to finish before sundown.” Mark causally says as he begins to pack up the tent. “It’s just so beautiful up her...
Weekly Contest #67
In a land hidden from all human eyes, laid a Mystical Realm full of creatures filled with mystical properties and energies. Two little Furries with skin paler than any cloud laughed at a boy with matching features to one of the girls, as they walked along a tree branch without any difficulties with their claw shaped feet. “Nyx. You have been summoned by the high reign.” An adult furry said in a stern voice. He had red painted feathers clearly showing in his large wings; the mark of a soldier in the Wing Queen’s army. “You want...
Weekly Contest #26
Success is like a golden blanket that shines over you when you accomplish your life goals but ways down on you, when mistakes are made; nothing but the feeling of crushed emotions fills your eyes as you yourself feels like a failure as the feeling of defeat holds tightly to you. Turning your once shining blanket of gold to a dark heavy, weighing you down, creating you to feel sorry for yourself. With little Tommy Sage, there were no exception. With a BANG, the bedroom door now lays still on the ground. The musty room smells of desp...
Weekly Contest #24
Holden the Determined The small, dimly lit office smelled like a combination of stale coffee and donuts; stress food. The past few days have been nothing but fast food and late nights as this missing person case has recently become a murder. An unfortunate ending to a one year mystery, the entire town had suffered a great loss as the mayor mourns her deceased daughter. Within the past seventy two hours, the entire police department have been searching for answers. Who in the right mind would kill a thirteen year old girl, n...
