Weekly Contest #343
I desperately tried to hang on with all my might. Many of my comrades, my family, had already fallen and I was determined not to suffer the same fate. I knew this was a fool’s errand, that I would eventually succumb to the winter winds the same as everyone else, but I would hold out as long as possible. I had a bad feeling about all this right from the start. I looked around at the desolate landscape when we all first started arriving and couldn’t help but wonder where everyone was. How was there so much terrain for all of u...

SamSara (and) the Bully I can’t understand why my parents sent me to this stupid school. It was fine when I was a little kid, but now that we’re in sixth grade and are the older kids in the school, it’s the worst. The only thing the other girls care about is their looks and boys. Forgive me, I don’t want to just stand around at recess watching boys play football and then cheer for them like some airheaded idiot. Sorry, but when I go to the bathroom, I just go to the bathroom, I don’t obsess in front of the mirror for hours on...
Weekly Contest #333
They were going to be here soon, so I opened up the window next to the front porch. The window was positioned perfectly where they couldn’t see if it was open or not, but their voices drifted in. It’s essential to know what people are thinking and saying about you before they walk into your house, you know? I eased myself back into the mechanical recliner and then hit the button that moved it from a standing position back to sitting. Normally I would put my feet up, but then I wouldn’t be able to see out the front window when th...

Albert’s Story My identical twin brother, Robert, and I always had a complicated relationship. He was a little smaller than me, a little weaker than me, and a little jealous of me. He’d always do this thing where he’d be pestering and annoying me on purpose, and then the second I would shove him or hit him the arm, he’d go running to our mom. I can still see his stupid little face proudly smirking at me from her shoulder while she comforted him and punished me. It didn’t take me long to figure out that she was on his side. It was worse ...
Weekly Contest #319
Life is Suffering My brother had always been a screw-up and to be honest, I had been waiting for that call for years. My first thought when I heard the news wasn’t about my brother at all, but about Sophia.Maybe she would feel bad enough for me that she’d be willing to travel back home with me. But when I called and asked her, she gave me a firm “no.”She’d only met my brother a couple of times and did not like him. Plus, if she went, she would miss our son Sid’s school play. I tried to argue that he didn’t even have any lines, but she wa...
