The Lonely Android

Weekly Contest #348

Android: a robot with a human appearance.Cyborg: a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. Part 1: The Lonely CyborgCy opened his eyes at exactly 5 AM. No sunlight came through his small window, only the vast, familiar darkness of space. Not that 5 AM meant anything out here. Time was just a habit humanity had carried with it, a ghost of a life lived under a sun. He had kept the habit anyway. It was one of the few things still his.He always started his mornings the same way: sitting by his small window, looking out at the empt...

Recognition

Weekly Contest #335

I was sitting there, hoping no one would come talk to me. Which was stupid, because I came to the reunion. So why did I want to avoid everyone now?I came to observe, not to mingle. I am fascinated by humans and their behavior. I wanted to see where my classmates ended up and whether they had become exactly what I’d known they would.I watched how people entered the room. Who scanned for familiar faces immediately and who hesitated near the door, pretending to check their phones. Who smiled before they were spoken to. Who waited to be acknowle...

Fairy Tale Gone Bad

Weekly Contest #318

The Prophecy:Hella tied the last strap on Victor’s armor. The metal shone like water in the sun. She checked every buckle and ring. The leather creaked under her fingers. She kept her face calm, though her hands trembled. This was the day she had prayed for since childhood. The day the prince would slay the dragon. The day the road through the mountains would open again. The day the kingdom would breathe. She told herself her own life did not matter, not if she could help him win.The night before, she had sat with her parents by the hearth. ...

Fair Work for Fairy Folk

Weekly Contest #314

Annie was 21 and a waitress. She didn’t hate it. It was just a job. The kind of job you get when you finish high school, don’t have a plan, and need rent money. She had a lot of imagination, but not much follow-through. She thought about doing everything—studying literature, working with animals, writing a book, becoming a florist. But none of those ever moved past daydreams. They all required a kind of energy Annie wasn’t sure she had. So she waited tables and stayed afloat.One late August night, she got home after a long shift. Her apartme...

The Expath Chronicles: Conversations with Ghosts

Weekly Contest #305

(Sensitive content: grief)It hit me in the middle of a bustling street in a new city—I was utterly and completely lost.It was a simple mistake—a wrong turn, a missed landmark—but the feeling went deeper than that. I'd lived in multiple cities, mastered metro systems in foreign languages, crossed continents. Getting lost didn't scare me.But this time, it stirred something else: a quiet ache.I missed the kind of place where I couldn't get lost. Where even with my eyes closed, I knew every crack in the pavement. A village tucked between green h...

Kindness at Gate 4

Weekly Contest #302

In these uncertain times—when people grow more divided, fear dominates the headlines, and kindness feels rare—it’s more important than ever to remember the stories that remind us there is still good in the world. Sometimes, it even comes from a stranger.This story happened to me after more than 20 hours of travel and two long-haul flights from Australia. Anyone who’s taken such a journey knows the relief that floods in when you're close to home. We had landed in Milan, just one short flight to Budapest left before I could collapse into my ow...

The Inheritance of Silence

Weekly Contest #298

Act I — Inheritors of the WoundIn a distant spiral arm of the Lyrian galaxy spun a violet-hued world named SOLURETHIA, a planet of haunting beauty and unbearable inheritance.From the moment they drew breath, every living being on SOLURETHIA bore more than flesh and blood. They carried pain. Not merely their own, but the echoing grief, terror, sorrow, and agony of generations before them. It lived in their bones, burned behind their eyes, whispered in their sleep.The sky shimmered with a strange aurora—what the elders called The Veil—a byprod...

Cosmic Light Guardian

Chapter 1: The Lonely Lighthouse KeeperShe sighed, feeling the weight of her solitude pressing down on her. Life in the lighthouse was lonely, especially during storms like this one. There were no neighbors to chat with, no friends to visit, just endless days spent tending to the beacon that guided ships safely through the treacherous waters.Making her way downstairs to the cozy kitchen, Luna set about preparing a pot of tea to warm herself up. She moved with a slow, deliberate pace, the routine of her solitary life etched into every movemen...

Paths Within the Archway

I just moved into the new city. The air buzzed with excitement and possibility, every street corner holding the promise of a new adventure. New city, new job, new opportunity —it all felt within reach, yet the prospect of change stirred a blend of exhilaration and fear within me. What if this is a mistake and I’ll be repeating the same pattern over and over again?Anyway, not everything is under my control, but I can control few things, so I decided to take up morning running. That summer morning at 6 am, when the city was quiet and the ...
