What the Heart Wants

Weekly Contest #370

The cafe was empty, but Lily didn’t know when it had happened. Sunlight made the place seem bright and perfect, almost heavenly. As if nothing bad could ever happen in such a place. Her cup of tea sat, cold and untouched, beside the book she’d been staring at. Not reading; her mind was too fragmented for that. Instead, she’d been staring at the page, lost in her thoughts while listening to the cafe sounds around her. At some point, it had grown silent, and that was when she looked up from the page.The creak of the kitchen door made her turn ...

The Godkeeper

Weekly Contest #323

“One does not kill a god,” Mother said as she led me down the steps to the dungeons below the castle. Torches on the wall lit our path, and my nose wrinkled at the scent of mold and excrement. “Because they cannot be killed?” Mother didn’t answer. She nodded a greeting to the guard who watched over the official dungeon level. The man bowed, handing her a lantern for our continued descent. “Don’t be ridiculous, Viana.” Mother laughed at my question, swinging open the heavy steel door and stepping onto another set of stairs. “Everything can be...

The Legend of the Last

Weekly Contest #301

By the light of the waning moon, the village awakes. Curtains heavy enough to block the sun’s rays are pulled back, allowing in the once silent night. Even the animals wake, sensing the tension in the air as parents prepare for the possibility of losing their children. The evening is highly anticipated. Excitement shows clearly on some faces while others mourn their potential losses. It’s the older children, the ones who are almost adults, who look tired and slightly bored. “Once a year is too often,” Darren says, pulling on his boots as he ...

A Year In The Making

Weekly Contest #300

“You can’t wear white to commit murder, Lilith.” “Who says I’m gonna commit murder?” Lilith looked at herself in the mirror. Curls pinned back, makeup on point; perfect. Her bedroom, on the other hand, was such a mess that she couldn’t see the floor. That left Malcolm sitting on her bed, the cleanest place in the room, apart from the pile of clean clothes she never seemed to put away.
