She Was Christmas In Our Eyes

Weekly Contest #284

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I love the twinkling lights, the love in the air, family and friends, Christmas dinner, and, of course, presents. I lived with my mother, father, and younger brother. Our house was a place filled with happiness and laughter all year round, but especially Christmas. Each year on December 1 we would hike out to the middle of the woods behind our house, cut a Christmas tree, and then haul it home to decorate.We’d stay up late after we decorated and watch our favorite Christmas movies...

Is It Truly Undiscovered?

Weekly Contest #247

2030 July 4 They say today was once known as Independence Day, I don’t feel independent. I feel trapped. The world is being remade right now, and I am currently alone in a small rocket ship, watching through the windows as my earth, my home is destroyed. I need to save it. I imagine all the people's lives being disrupted, all of the homes broken. I am a 23-year-old non-binary person. I chose to be that before I was told that once the earth settled down I w...

I have never been in contact with such substances and they are only used to help with this story.   “Gabriel come on!” Malissa hollers to her little brother.  She runs past him. As she does she reaches out her hand and tags him.  “Freeze!” She yells, smirking at her brother's grouchy expression. “You're cheating!” He grumps (in that annoying way little brothers do)Malisa rolls her eyes.  “Quit saying that every time you d...

Because The Stars Vanished

Weekly Contest #245

Holly walks out from one of the tall towers in New York City. She sets her jaw as she walks out from one of the tall towers in New York City. She has had a long, hard few days of working to write an article about space but more importantly, the stars, and then when she finally turns it in…her manager says it’s too scientific. What does he want? Is it a fun bedtime story with kittens and teddy bears? It’s about space! It’s not a bedtime story, and it’s definitely not cuddly.   Being a reporter is difficult, but she can’t just q...

Starry Night

“Come on mom!’ I yell as I grab my little brother by the hand and tug him toward the Museum Of Natural Art. “Abby, wait!” Mom yells as I race towards the doors, little brother in tow. “Sandy can’t keep up.” I look back at little Sandy, Mom's right, his chubby toddler legs can’t run as fast as I can. I stop and wait for my three-year-old brother to catch up and then catch his breath. “Ready?” I ask. He nods and we run the last few steps. At the huge doors, we turn and wait for Mom.  “Hurry up Mom!” I yell. I am super ...

My Love

   My name is Ann, and I have met my soulmate. I know she is. I saw her one day for the first time at the mall, she laughed at something her friend said, and that laugh sealed the deal for me. I know she has never seen me. She wouldn't like me even if she met me. It's hard knowing that.      I am 19 years old. I have always loved the idea of true love, and valentine's day was my favorite holiday. Until I never received any valentines from the girls I loved, so I gave up. I started to hate valentines da...

Jupiter Wavering

Susan walked across the frosty ground. Ice particles and snow crunched beneath her shoes. Something snapped beneath her boot. Susan froze. She carefully lifted her foot. “OH MY GOD!!” Susan screamed in horror. Underneath her foot was the crushed skull of a human being. She stumbled back, gasping. She suddenly felt nauseated, and very ill. She turned away from the head, and wretched, and wretched until she felt as if she had wretched out her insides. She knew that the aliens that had taken over earth were not people, but she didn't ...

And I have never been drunk.  Ally stepped inside the gas station with one desire. The biggest container of iced tea she could find. After browsing for awhile she pulled open the fridge and grabbed a bottle labeled Dreams away, you're go, to drink caffeinated drink for long car drives. “Alright she said to the man behind the counter I would like this one please.”  “Five dollars.” He said.  Ally hande...

West Virginia

 If I told you that it all started when I got my first taste of  strawberry flavored ice cream at the ice cream truck would you believe me? Of course you wouldn't, you don’t know my story. If I told you my story, then would you? Well it's up to you to decide, but it began with the ice cream truck parked at a Shell gas station in the middle 0f nowhere.  ***** I had been driving for over five hours, my butt was sore and I was in serious need of ice cream. I din’t even care what flavor. I was out in the middle of nowhere, som...

Unbroken Faith

I met her when I was five. We were great friends, best friends. She got me a necklace when I was eight, a friendship necklace in the shape of a heart that broke into two, one for her and one for me. When I was ten I gave her the first book I had ever written. I wrote it for her, I called it My Best Friend. When I was fifteen she whispered to me late at night of the boy she had fallen in love with, and would someday marry. We planned how I would come over every day and watch their children. One day, her family moved away. We called and wrote ...
