Zachariah Was His Name, and Micah Was Mine

Weekly Contest #103

July 1978. The day this photo was taken. A faded photograph of my mum and dad with my older brother. Well, he was my older brother. He died. In a coma. He had been hit by a car and had gone into a coma. Seven years later, after tedious waiting and anxiously staying up late thinking the worst possible things, he woke up.  Once, for thirty minutes. He died after that. His eyes fluttering away, and his mind ascending to the place of dreams. Heaven. Tears have been shed, memories have been thought about that could have been made, but it wil...

Behind These Walls

Weekly Contest #98

Behind these walls. Behind these walls, I am breaking Behind these walls, my world is crumbling Behind these walls, my life is falling apart Behind these walls, no one believes me /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ A strong gut feeling in my stomach. A sharp tug of my heart as a person walks by. This is it. Something is coming. The bile slips up and down my dry throat. Words leave me as I am turned away. Turned away from society. Turned away from the community. A nobody. Destined to live their life with no one. No lover and no story. The...

A Set Of Doors

Weekly Contest #95

Cassidy looked at the two doors in front of her. One had Future written on it in a gold loopy script. The door on the left had past written on it in a black script with edges and lines. Cass gulped as she placed her hand on the door that said past. Her past. Her memories. Everything she had been through. Which should she take? It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. If she chose the wrong one everything would fall apart. She was a magnetcus being. Someone who drifted between periods and eras of time. Someone who could choose. Her parents Lu...

A Party Like No Other

I sit with my hands scrunched up in a ball. My eyes search the room nervously. Imagining what it will be like later on. When everyone arrives. No, I'm remembering. What happened last time I was at a party. How everyone threw pies at my face because they hated me. Yet none of them dared to show it. Tears burn my eyes. They threaten to spill. I don't let them. I'm so nervous. The guests will be here soon. I only hope it's different from last time. I stand, smoothing my dress down and straightening my hair. My steel blue eyes meet my reflection...

In The Moonlight

"This is all your fault!" Nicholas yelled, trying to contain his rage.  "My fault?" Briar asked back, her face heating up. She didn’t like fighting with anyone. Let alone Nicholas.  "Yeah, yours!" "What did I do?" "You needed that darn library book, could you not have survived without it?" Nicholas asked angrily. Why she had needed anything in the library he didn’t know.  "No! Nicholas, I have been waiting for that book for three months, the last one left me on a cliffhanger. Do you understand? I need answers. Now we may be lo...

The World Through a Child's Eyes

Weekly Contest #90

My battered brown shoes act as a mirror. Reflecting my unworthiness. My hand brushes against the side of my face. My hair clings to my sodden cheek, making me seem small and dirty. The train rattles on. Its carriages swaying up and down with the motion of the tracks. Rain beats against the windows, its soft sound lulling me into a place of peace. A man moves near me and immediately walks away. I sigh and put my hands in my lap. No one sits near me. An orphan abandoned at the mere age of 2. My brother, Auberon, looked after me. Until he didn'...

A Tale Of Two Foes

Weekly Contest #88

"I'm telling you, you'll want me to do the reading this afternoon," "Why?" The other voice on the end of the phone was daunting, teasing almost "Just trust me," "If you say so," the line went dead. Bear hung up and looked around his office. His newly published book was lying on the desk, half-read. A bookmark with paw prints lined the side of it. A gift, from his mother. She had proclaimed that he'd done something worthy. Finally. When his book had been published people had raved about it. Now he had been asked to do a reading. Of his book. ...

Spring Time Nerves

"It's supposed to be a springtime ball, Leo," "But we can't postpone it any longer," "Fine, we'll have it tonight," Leo's eyes lit up and he smiled at her. Clover shook her head, her auburn curls falling down her back. She was so stressed. She needed a break. She needed to get away. Her heart pounded in her chest and she drew in a shaky breath. She wouldn't last much longer, not like this. Her head throbbed. A splitting headache crashed through her train of thought. She placed a hand on her temples. "Hey, don't worry, it will all work out we...

Flowering Tears

The last flower. It's scent filling the air. A light joy to the cold reality of the world. A final whisper and everything fades. Black crowds the air and a shiver creeps up everyone's spine. A woman. No. A witch. Watching the last flower die. 30 minutes earlier Penne sat, her back pressed against the cold, hard cobblestone wall. The small windowpane being the only source of light in her vacant room. The vast bed sheet and covers lay strewn across the floor. Her dark curls were loose around her shoulders and a frilly dress sat, clinging t...

Are you afraid of the dark?

Weekly Contest #85

“That’s the thing about this city, it’s not what it seems,” Akari shivered and rested her hands on her hips. She wouldn’t let this small piece of information beat her. She tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and looked straight at the boy in front of her. Noah shrugged and turned away. Akari stopped him, her hand shskaing. “What do you mean?” “I mean, that when everything seems fine, it never is, there’s always more to it,” “Like what?” Noah started to walk away.  “Please tall me Noah!” Akari pleaded, looking straight into his g...

Eternity

Lilac Forrester of Clintly looked around her room. Trying to make sense of the world. Her clothes were strewn across the floor and photos were hung limply in groups on the wall. The only thing was that they weren't of her. Her hair was not blonde and her eyes were not a misty green. She had tight ringlets and mousey brown hair. With pale blue eyes and ivory skin. She looked up from the map she was holding. Hands trembling as she tried to make out the runes scrawled beneath it. They were of ancient writing. She gasped as she read through them...

Hidden Identity

Weekly Contest #83

Willow Tuppingwon stood with her tail dangling in the water. The warm glow of the evening sun glistening on her pale cheeks. Her long brown hair flailed out behind her and she reached down to pick up a flower as the sunset slowly faded away. She brought her tale up onto the ledge and rested it there. She emerged from the water and sat silently. Pondering the questions of her world. No one knew she was a mermaid. No one could know. They would kill her. Mermaids were banned. Magic was banned. King Uther didn't believe that it was noble. He did...

Heart of Stone

Weekly Contest #81

She placed her hands in his. Looking into his deep blue eyes she started to speak.  “Do you remember the first time we met?” His eyes met hers and the moment seemed to last for eternity.  “You know it doesn’t work out,” “I know, I wish though, you don’t know how much I wish,” “I wish for it too, more than anything,”  “I love you so much, more than anything,”  “I love you too,” They hold each other tightly in an embrace. More than anything, they wanted to be together. But they couldn’t. They always had a great time, but th...
