Weekly Contest #163
“Jarious Ganfry!” The booming voice called my name as I approached. “Your Death is Guaranteed!” He sounded happy about this. Excited, even. The entire audience was applauding as I shook the voice’s hand and took the rolled-up paper from him. As I left the stage, I could hear the next several names read as I walked behind the curtain, out of view of the audience. They were names I knew. None of which I’d considered my friends, but I’d shared classes with them and was generally friendly with them if we w...
Weekly Contest #128

Such an odd thing, that something so ephemeral could move a tree that he could sc...

She’d already seen her twice in the last week, and that was plenty of Jessica. She looked at the little bubble on the side of her phone’s screen. “Raincheck, already have plans tonight.” And, to be honest, that was true. She did already have pl...
Shortlisted for Contest #101 ⭐️
How often do you look at yourself in a mirror? Sure, you may check to see how far a certain shirt comes down your waist, or maybe you check to make sure the part of your hair is in the right spot, or maybe you’ve been hitting the gym more frequently and want to see your progress. Perhaps you want to see if that shirt still fits from your 20’s. But this is not what David was tasked with. He wasn’t supposed to look at his body, he was supposed to look at himself. David couldn’t remember the last time he’d done that.&nb...
