Weekly Contest #378
“We are gathered here today to remember the life of Charles Henry Winfield,” the elderly priest said, standing beside a particularly large photograph of the young man they were laying to rest. “Charles led a long life. A life of charity and well-meaning gifts to those of lesser means.” He turned toward the photograph beside the closed coffin. “He was a man of great means, and a greater heart.” “Oh, for fuck’s sake.” The voice came from the doorway at the back of the hall. “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to withhold your comments. This is ...
Weekly Contest #275
"Do you really think that is going to work?" the voice echoed through Margeret's ears. The never-ending teasing tone seemed to have followed her since she had left the house that morning. Why she was being stalked was beyond her imagination, and who was doing it even further from her knowledge. Did she know this disembodied voice? Was it someone fucking with her? Or was she haunted? That last one seemed quite a jump for most people, but Margeret's family wasn't most people. Her mother and grandmother often spoke of curious visions and sites,...

Another gust of wind hit the side of the building, causing plumes of dust that had built up over the years to shake free from the ceiling and sprinkle down over Anna's head.

It seemed whatever storm was causing the rush of wind outside was determined to prove her wrong. She glared up at the roof, beyond which were several flights of stairs and the light at the very peak. The reason she remained here even in these ...
Weekly Contest #233
“What a day...” Maria said as she slammed the door of her car behind her. After a twelve hour shift at one of the local dairy farms she’d just pulled in to the town's only bar’s parking lot. Well, it wasn’t much of a bar these days. They had stopped selling alcohol about a year ago. Well, the whole town had. People had voted them a dry location last year, and the mayor had worked hard to make sure that passed. Now the bar was more like a place people came to listen to TVs and complain about the fact that they couldn’t drink alcohol anymore. ...
Weekly Contest #232
You know there is something really weird about the Sun suddenly vanishing. I’m not talking about having a cloud roll in and cause the sunlight to fade for a few moments. I mean having not only the blue sky blocked but also the clouds. It happened I swear. I was going for a walk and suddenly something blocked everything above my neighborhood. I want to say it happened sometime around the first day of winter. Winter solstice? I dunno I never really keep track of these things. I only remembered this year because of what happened. It was midday...
