Weekly Contest #371
Lost in the Supermarket “How long has it been since Emily disappeared?” Michelle whispered, her voice carrying through the darkness of the empty snack aisle. “Who’s to say?” Ethan replied. “Who even knows what day it is.” Jim was in charge of keeping track of the calendar. Jim disappeared long enough ago that no one knew what day it was. “Why?” “I just can’t help but think about something Carolyn said earlier today…” “Carolyn is full of conspiracy theories. She probably thinks lizard people from Mars run the world.” “But what if she was righ...
Weekly Contest #349
The Weight of Paper Day 1 I don’t normally explore houses this far off the main highway. That’s a great way to get yourself killed these days. The highways at least have other travelers around to witness, and we all know about traveler justice. But structures off the beaten path, especially empty ones? Forget it. But that little voice inside told me to take a chance. And what a find! Not that I’m surprised anyone left it behind; things like this aren’t exactly useful in the world that’s left, except for tinder. It was like a library house. B...

The first time Fidget found the mistress dead, he got so scared that he lost one of his lives. It wouldn’t be the last time she did this, but some warning would have been polite. Maybe he had four left — cats were never really good with math. She had obviously been working on some mystical experiment that backfired, badly. Fidget’s bushy tail twitched and he cocked his head, staring into her open mouth. A furry paw gently bapped at her cheek once, twice, and a third time for good measure. Fidget leapt with a quick spring to the top of the wo...
Weekly Contest #204
The Mechanic Remy LeRay Remy could smell the acrid smell of blast pistol fire. The silence that echoed off the tavern’s previously raucous interior was nearly deafening. A place like this should only be quiet when it’s closed. His pistol was lazily smoking in his tight grip, the rising smoke entrancing. For a moment, he thought the smell of burnt metal might be coming from a hole in his chest where the officer’s energy round had burned through. He was wrong of course because he felt his heart thudding in his chest and heard the ragged intake...
Weekly Contest #186
“You can’t always have it your way.” “I am aware of this Buddy, but you know that I am always right.” “And stop calling me Buddy, dammit! You know my name is Walter. Call me Walter. I’ve asked you a thousand times.” “But they used to call you Buddy. Do people not give nicknames to others that they enjoy?” “It’s not my fault they called me that. I never asked for them to call me Buddy. I thought it was ‘cause they liked me.” “They did not.” “Well I know that now don’t I?” “You do. Just like you know that the man up the street looks quite a bi...
