Weekly Contest #370
“10 minutes to showtime!”“You heard me, people!” shouted Paul, the producer, hair ragged, eyes tired, mind a million places at once. He burst into the gallery, call sheet in hand, throwing his arms around wildly. His assistant-in-training, Amanda, a short girl in her early 20’s, brown hair in a tight ponytail, trailed behind him.“Allison!” he shouted to the head vision mixer - the one in charge of listening to the director’s orders for which camera to pick and what VT to play — “What’s the sitrep with the broken camera?”“Still down!” she sai...
Weekly Contest #367
Within the castle’s hallowed halls sat a great evil. An evil born from a lineage founded upon blood and corruption and a long, long history of sin. Wrathful, prideful, lustful, slothful, gluttonous, and envious- that is the history of the Kings and Queens from the Kingdom of Sin. They were cruel, conniving and carnivorous—they devoured the fruits of others’ labour for no reason other than the simple pleasure it granted them, and they trampled over each other to actualise their own selfish desires.Over generations, each royal possessed a grea...

Weekly Contest #293
Plain and dull people drearily board the plane, sleepily shuffling one after another in unison. One man, standing out amongst his dull peers, is a genius physics professor named Andy. He is a spiffy-looking young man with a posture crumpled by anxiety, yet he dons an optimistic smile all the same. Checking each row number extensively, he spots his seat at the back of the plane, beside a bearded gentleman in a suit and tie who is jostling uncomfortably in his sleep. As Andy approaches, the gentleman slowly begins to awake in a cold sweat. “He...
Weekly Contest #59
I Need to Leave This House I’ve always been a thoughtful person, much more so than Tim, I’m sure. Often lost in the maze of my own thoughts. But ever since stepping into this house I feel like my thoughts have become more cloudy - there’s something I can’t quite put my finger on. Something off. Something wrong. I can't focus on anything. Like I can't tell where I am, or when I am. But one thing I am assured of is that the moment I took my first step through the door, a single thought overtook everything else: I Need To Leave This House. ...
Weekly Contest #57
Buried deep within the dense concrete jungle, a small building lies surrounded by tall towers. In contrast to its contemporaries, it is in great need of repair. Within this decrepit building, however, sits a large and immaculately clean laboratory. Perfectly sterile. Bright and white. Shiny silver machines with colourful blinking lights are dotted throughout, creating a labyrinth of narrow pathways that all interconnect like a tangled web. Aside from the quiet humming from the machines, the room is quiet. Frozen within time. Suddenly, the ...
