Weekly Contest #346
THE ENDLESS WHITE Are you afraid of the dark? I have always wondered how pitch-black darkness scares people so much when blinding white is clearly more terrifying. For this realization, I blame the President for using the media to send out messages hidden in his speech to awaken me. Sure, ordinary people won't read through words, but there are exceptional geniuses in the World's Hidden Intelligence team who would. It all started on that random evening when I returned from work. The preceding confusion and memory fuzz made sense now. I hav...

“Today is the day I change” putting on the glasses to complete my look for the day, I uttered to my-self in mirror. “Daisy, you are as beautiful and pure as your name. you be a good girl!” my mother raised me with that. “I am Daisy, a good girl” I grew on that, feeling like a daisy! Mama told me what it is to be good and I listened. Now I work at a show-off company and I am still a good girl. It always worked out for me being nice and staying loved. At the company, we earn points for looking best. The better body, face and features are prefe...
Weekly Contest #112
Disclaimer: content on depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. In the memory of and a tribute to the Japanese author, Osamu Dazai. “Aagh!! It’s raining again!” I repeated like a ritual every time it rained. “What?! Rain is beautiful and soothing… and romantic” My coworkers who happened to be a couple held hands and looked at each other as they spoke. “Ah the cringe! You guys can say all that but the inconvenience of walking out there is a pain!” I rested my grumpy face on my hand. I’d hate on rain with so much confidence that over t...
Weekly Contest #105
One bad mum, destroyed half the world… He would often say. On that bench, sitting next to Andrea, I have a bad life, he bitterly cried. Work on it and you might make it big and become the one the world looks up to. She smiled with kind eyes, her encouragement was like a kid running to you with open arms and a bright smile. And what if I don’t? he turned away from the happy child as usual. The grumpy man was unaware of the light next to him and the light next to him was equally unaware of the consequences of being embraced. You will be like m...
Weekly Contest #104
“OMG! When they mention the friendship started with scorn, it’s always the best plot!!!” Naira said as she watched the movie trailer. Sofia and Deena exchanged an amused glance. It was their friendship story, after all.After Naira left, Deena said, “by the way, even now it’s hard to admit that ‘we’ became best friends… I mean when I first met you, I had an impression that you were just a pretentious person and you also didn’t think highly of me for sure. I’m glad we didn’t stick with that shallow viewpoint and obtained a deeper insight. This...
Weekly Contest #103
Yet another night, the sobbing voices kept her awake. Maria’s feelings had transitioned from fear to sympathy, at this point, it was pure fury and frustration. ‘Show yourself or just go away! Reach out if you need help. I could help if you reached out, or at least just listen to what you have to say. I am certain of your presence. I freakin’ know I’m not crazy!’ Maria kept her voice low, but the rage was obvious.She heard a gasp, followed by complete silence. The darkness in her room intensified for a moment. The chilly air through the ...
Omar and Caleb fixed a meaningful gaze at Jean as he went on with another mocking chuckle. Them showing no signs of offense in their words or expressions bothered Jean, he lacked the composure they had. ‘How can you be so stubborn after the whole world suffers with disasters and injustice? People can work their asses off and die before a moment of relief. The countless victims overpowered by powerful oppressors until they are driven to lose their minds, their hopes and commit suicide! What about all the terrible things going on this world? H...

Trashed, smashed, I went all out, laughed, yelled, then just sank down…. Sinking, weeping, Perhaps was I just reaping what I sow ….? Rising slowly to the top, not high and not low, I was just floating now ….And at that point, I began, one step at a time, Pondering ….Then one day I went Live to tell everyone about life. It was a day when I finally realized,I WAS ALIVE.In July 1999, on a usual Sunday morning, something special happened. I opened my eyes in this world. The beautiful sky illuminated and darkened in a sequence, my life ...
