Weekly Contest #351
My TimeNina SwansonContent Warning: Contains death, psychological distress She is running because it is the only way out of this mess. Her breathing is heavy. She simply can not stop as her very life may depend on her getting away. If she stops he will catch her. She is plodding along solely on adrenaline. Adrenaline brought on by sheer fear. She knows she is running for her life. It doesn’t matter that her knee is throbbing, she has to keep going. She has to run through the pain. She risks a quick glance behind her. Unfortunately it’s a ...

All's Well that Ends Well “It is such a nice warm day. Hey, would you like lunch now?”“Me?”“Yes you, well both of you.”“I just heard the news. That guy you are talking about with the hunches, what’s his name? He was killed two nights ago. No, I do not have a hunch about who killed him do you?”“Yes.”“I’m making sandwiches.

The current question on everyone’s mind is going to be answered soon enough, probably on Monday. Of the ten people at the table only one will get the big promotion.Knowing it is a lie I raise my glass up and say, “No matter who wins we will al...
Weekly Contest #324
CW: Implied suicide, drowning Once again, like every single other time, she felt the urgent pulling of the sea. The drive from within, the call from outside, was much too hard to resist. Slowly, hesitantly yet purposefully, she walked breathing in the crisp autumn air. She could almost taste the sweetness of the apples as the scent danced ever so gently in the night breeze. Were it not for the full moon, cloaked in the mystery of the stars, so many stars, she’d have seen nothing, not even her own hand before her face. The night was a shadowe...
Weekly Contest #231
She awoke and eased into her new day on this New Year. She didn't have to be, do, or take care of anything. She was free to focus her attention on her New Year's resolution. Heaven knows She’s done it enough times that She should be an expert on thinking up New Year's resolutions. Since She was only three weeks old her first New Year She can safely say She doesn’t remember making (or breaking) any resolutions that year. Sure She’s made her share of resolutions to change this or that thing in her life. Things like lose weight, find...
