Sojourn of a pollyanna

Weekly Contest #152

I can see it now; my life since she became a part of it flashing before my eyes. That part of my life is all that comes to mind. It is all that matters. 27.02.1999 The end of one journey initiated her into another. A sojourner she came to be in the new world, where her feet could feel the earth and air she could breathe. Like all the others before her, she cried at the feel of what had become her new home. She wrapped her warm, tiny, palm around her bearer’s finger; the first thing she touched and felt. She had been welcomed to join others...

Nothing matters to you anymore, is there? Please take a second and think what you are doing to all of us. This is not a new world for me but it is for these three.”“Whatever you say won’t change the fact that there is a person out there who won’t stop knocking until you open the damn door.”“And then what?

Rejuvenated

Weekly Contest #83

The warm sea water soothes every bit of my pale skin revitalizing my entire being. I can feel my organs rejoice every second I spend below the warm, salty, sea water. There's no one close to me to ruin the serenity of this heavenly place.It's just the sea currents and the birds that fly above it, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I lazily move my hands and turn to face upwards. As if on impulse, the sea effortlessly pushes me to the surface.A cold breeze brushes past my face as if to tell me I can stop holding my breath and open my e...

Spirited

Weekly Contest #80

"No, they didn't allow us to help each other up when one, or some of us fell. Our strong will helped us survive. Sometimes the body would be unwilling to walk long distances on rough grounds barefoot while carrying heavy objects on our shoulders but the burning desire to have our land back made us overlook the struggles.""Were you scared grandma? What was it like?""There was no room to be scared my dear. Of course, seeing one of us being mercilessly whipped and being trampled on made me shiver but I didn't want to be the next victim so I too...

Gin

She lost everything but somehow managed to gain comfort from the only thing she taught herself to love, or probably became obsessed with, after the death of her family. 11th January 2021, it is so simple to say and vividly remember the occurrences but they are shattering. So much that Maya suffered from severe post traumatic disorder. She didn’t need anyone’s help because according to her, she had no one.Two weeks earlier, her whole family, except her decided to fly in a parachute. It was their first time but her dad promised everything...

Tallying Dreams

Weekly Contest #74

TALLYING DREAMSFaith lies on her left side staring at the only thing she convinced herself understood her, the wall bearing tally marks which she is never late to update. Today is day 646, another new day that no one knows what it will bring forth. Regardless, Faith is as energetic as always to write a new story, perhaps one that will inspire, teach or for once bring her good luck. She gets up picks a piece of chalk on the drawer and adds a mark on the wall then takes a step back and stares at it. 646 days of dreaming, hoping, laughing,...
