And if I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too.

Weekly Contest #345

The thing Shane needed most in the world was alone time, and it was so close. After six long hours of hiking narrated by KP’s constant chatter and the world’s most strained dinner, the sea witch had finally gone to bed. Every time Shane had called Lydia Ann ‘sea witch’ her brow furrowed and her shoulders hunched and it gave Shane a little hit of joy. It really is the small things in life. With an angry sigh and no words she had rolled over on her sleeping pad, facing away from Shane and KP, and pushed the blanket over her head. Without a goo...

Yeah, we were dancing!

Weekly Contest #342

This letter is from the future. I deliver this message in peace. You need not fear me. I mean you no harm, however you will die. Nah, I’m fucking with you. You need not fear me, and you need not fear the future any more either. Hello! I’d ask how you are doing, but I know it’s not great. I can’t fully remember how you feel right now. In fact, the idea of attempting to dive into that feeling for the sake of specific details makes me a little nervous. As though paying them any attention will will them back into existence. A slightly deaf elder...

Hollow Cravings

Weekly Contest #340

Hollow Cravings Walter was hungry. He was always hungry. The hunger drove him. The hunger lived with him at all times, all he could think about while swimming in endless circles. Fed off scrapes as his true dream sat just out of reach. As the pet goldfish for Room 5 of Mountain Valley School his greatest desire was grubby sticky delicious little children fingers. All day walking past him tapping their little hands against the glass, drawing hearts on his tank, and dangerously dangling their fingers as they sprinkled his food into the t...

20 Years: Part 2: Russian

September 26, 2018-Central Africa-Late Evening “Shhhhh, Doctor there is no need to shout. I don’t think we need to alert the terrorists to our exact position. Let’s make them work for it. ” An unfamiliar voice made Hayden jump a little. Wait, not an unfamiliar voice. A familiar voice but in a language he was unfamiliar hearing it speak. He slowly turned to meet laughing blue eyes. As a surgical doctor, he didn’t know a ton about arson, but he was certain that no accelerant on Earth burned hotter than the fire building in his soul at the si...

Normally, a Herculean task. The avoidance to start the writing is strong.So I ask for grace, for understanding, and positive feedback only. Pump a girl up, because this fills my soul in a way I cannot explain. Yet I avoid it in a way ...

Call to Adventure

~~*~~KP led Shane and her mother to the edge of the park. Feet touching Kentucy Blue Grass before she realized she no idea where she was going, what she looking for, or why she had even headed back to the park.Shame reddened her cheeks as she peaked back toward Shane for direction. Shane was beaming with pride and she tried to focus on that instead of the swirling green eyes behind Shane. They hadn’t stopped raging since Shane had laughed in her face after she had agreed to come.“You know where to start.”Shane nodded encouraginly for KP to k...

The Beginning of of KP's First Adventure

Weekly Contest #285

KP couldn’t believe the adventure she was about to go on. She practically skipped the entire way home. A real life adventure! The world seemed to practically sparkle. Was this really happening? The only hurdle was convincing Lydia Ann. KP tried to focus on the path ahead, and ignore the feeling of needing to glance back. To confirm that she hadn’t imagined Shane, that the butterfly woman hadn’t disappeared. That her dream hadn’t fluttered away from reality on yellow wings. The sudden thought filled KP with such fear that she f...

A Walk Around the Block

Weekly Contest #283

A Walk Around the Block  By: Sammie Jeane Going on a walk on Christmas in a snow storm wasn’t the smartest decision Shane had ever made, but she had to move or she was going to go insane. She could feel the pressure building in her chest, the antsy feeling making her shoulders twitch. So she bundled up in walking boots, a parka and a sparkly purple beanie, a gift from her Aunt. Matching purple sparkly gloved hands wrapped around a thermos. Tea, not coffee. A fact that had always disappointed her Grandma.  She had no idea wh...
