Weekly Contest #299
On a rugged little plateau of a mountain– not too high up but not too low down – existed a quaint and modest little monastery of the most dedicated of orders. It was nestled between two tranquil and equally meek rivers, the River of Good Deeds and the River of Un Materialism, that, legend had it, sourced directly from the heavens itself delivering life and existence to the inhabitants of the material earth below. Trees were few and sparse, but their unfathomable wisdom undeniable. This establishment, reverentially built from organic substan...
Weekly Contest #298
“I’m gonna go to the sun one day mom.” The beetle said to his mother, as he watched on their little television, wide eyed, the grainy black and white footage of a rocket launching into outer space. And for the many days after the little beetle spent them flying around model spacecrafts he’d created from twigs and neglecting his beetle responsibilities. “Beetles don’t go to space!” His mother shouted one night over dinner in frustration, “So eat your poop and go freak out some humans in their homes after, you understand?” In a seething rage...
Weekly Contest #293
“You’re in my seat.” were the first words she said to him. Maybe it was the domineering tone or her intimidating poise, but something had struck his heart like an arrow. Maybe that was exactly what it was.Mandy checked his ticket, feeling so pathetic doing so; knowing it would’ve been impossible for her to be wrong. “It says I’m in 54A.” “Which would be that one.” The girl said, pointing sternly at the vacant seat next to the window.A tale of two forbidden, basic economy lovers squabbling over who had to sit closer to the bath...
Weekly Contest #292
It started the night he lost his house – the night, unbeknownst to him at the time, he’d also uncovered his greatest asset – and it was all arguably thanks to his excessive drinking. Unaware of how on earth he’d made it back to his brother’s home after yet another perilous bender in the city, he collapsed on some unfinished portraits he’d attempted earlier in despair.The next morning, he was rudely awoken by a sun nearly halfway done with the day.In a hungover mess, Mrill stumblingly found his way to one of the house's many bathrooms an...
Weekly Contest #288
The rain was exciting at first. The forecast had been the talk of the town for days leading up, and a nervous anxiousness descended upon the people like the clouds that would soon come in. At first, it may not have sounded like anything far out of the ordinary – heavy rains with the potential for storms. But this desert town hasn’t seen a drop of water from the sky in years, let alone a storm, and for many of the hundreds of thousands of people here, this would be their first. They prepared for it like a blizzard. In the days before, t...
Weekly Contest #287
In an era where everyone is truly a critic, thanks to the likes of applications such as Yelp trying to replace the need for positions like mine, it is more critical than ever that reputable voices such as my own not only remain recognized for holding particularly esteemed and indisputable observations, but also continue to consistently end up on the right side of an opinion every time. That is why every review that I write becomes even more significant and provides an even greater test and confirmation of my abilities than the last. Th...
Weekly Contest #268
The remains of approximately seven hundred trillion, five hundred and thirty seven billion, four hundred ninety seven million, and 7 living beings lay scattered around a now desolate and more importantly, lifeless part of the universe. The reality however was that this scene wasn’t nearly as gorey as you might immediately imagine. Any signs of the remnants of life were completely overshadowed by the instead massive chunks of beautifully colored rocks, once intact planets, now floating around still drifting further apart from the impact. All ...
Alfie Bett leapt off the extended tree branch effortlessly outstretching his legs perfectly straight like plane wings with his hands above his head. The millions and billions of people in the park below watched with their mouths open as for a moment he blocked out the setting sun and brought time to a standstill before he rolled out upon hitting the ground and completed the spectacle with an emphatic jump to his feet. The trillions of people in the crowd leapt to their feet in a deafening applause. “And that my friends, is how to do a perfec...
Weekly Contest #265
A long line is up there with one of the last things a person would want to see after making an 1100 mile 14 day trek through most of the world’s most unflattering wonders like barren deserts and villages taken over by predatory salesmen. That certainly wasn’t what our protagonist of the story, a 42 year old pushing out of shape man, wanted to see, coming up on top of the largest and most treacherous hill since 45 minutes ago. Upon laying eyes on the snake of people in front of him, Dr. Amadeus R Beckentower was brought to his knees into the ...
