Weekly Contest #326
CW: Physical violence, gore or abuse, Suicide or self harm Laughter. Chatters. Glasses clink. Wine bottles pop. Sizzling iron pots. Conversations mix in layers, surrounding the fancy Japanese restaurant’s tatami and washi walls. The long, low table holds the bountiful, authentic dishes—from well-seasoned tonkatsu and sashimi to udon—luxuriously cut, freshly cooked, steaming with umami as they brush against Nadia’s nose.Her graceful hands hold the knife, pinkies up, cutting through a thin slice of Wagyu beef. Oil stains a section of her crisp...
Weekly Contest #317
Would you leave a man who gave you the life you wished? The one who gave you the life your mother always dreamed of but never had?For Gia, it would be rather stupid to walk away from a man who saved her and her family from poverty for good. Everyone would easily think that leaving him was a ridiculous thing. For years, she tried to convince herself to stay and be the most loyal, faithful, and loving wife, leaving her entire life behind for a new world she knew nothing about.Because you were married, right? You would do everything and anythin...
Indigo is a 50-year-old boy. Content and happy with his mediocrity in his mother’s attic. Unmarried without children, he sure doesn’t mind wearing the cloak of irresponsibility with pride. Committed to sticking to his life’s path after a fatal stroke years ago.His God-given second chance to life.Surviving such an ordeal, he soon realized there is nothing else more important than letting his eyes meander over the sea of farmers planting rice; his nose sucking in the punch of greens; his ears basking under the warmth of chirping birds singing ...
Weekly Contest #290
You never thought dandelions could be merciless. Letty believed that a hundred percent, and that same belief had found a special place in her brain despite the stabbing pain that swallowed her ankle. Though each step felt like thorns in her sole, she kept her composure intact and her vision steady; her breaths in rhythm with her feet in strides, like a highly depleted Olympian who never knew defeat. Her eyes burned with sweat and tears like her bronzed skin kissed by the midday sun; her mind too frantic to think or care about anything. Even ...
Weekly Contest #289
Disgusting. Look at those fools, swallowing plate after plate of food they couldn’t even finish, Onyx told himself, cringing at the sight of thick oils around the people’s mouths. Perhaps the disgust had already reached his head, and he needed to rise from his seat and get another ice-cold beer to ease. As he went through tables, he couldn’t help but gaze at each cousin’s family he met along the way, grazing their plates, slithering their tongues to finish the last drop. His scarlet eyes shook, wondering why he’d gotten himself here, asking ...
Weekly Contest #288
The unusually hot summer day hadn’t stopped the Vincenzos from their special Sunday treat. Pork.No wonder Samuel’s smile was as wide as the mountain ranges behind him, wearing a pair of sparkling eyes full of delight. He worked hard to finally get a kilo of pork, which he knew would make his dear wife and four lovely girls happy. They’d been waiting a month for him to save enough money to get some because pork was a luxury in this part of the barangay. Like having a good beef steak in a five-star fine-dining restaurant. Inaccessible. You mig...
