Weekly Contest #341
Colten ran two toy cars on the floor and made bets on who would win. In first place was the sleek red car that his dad had gotten him on a spontaneous whim of generosity. The red car easily became his new favorite; it was the latest model. None of it was cheap plastic where the color would yellow; no, it was all metal. The wheels spun on sturdy spokes he had tested them thoroughly by using his parents’ treadmill. What he had in his hand was no toy but a bona fide Lamborghini that had to cost at least one hundred dollars by his calculations. ...
Weekly Contest #340
Two police officers dragged a man who was cuffed and had a bag placed over his head down a hallway. The limp man gave off a faint smell of blood and occasionally twitched to show he was still alive. The officers were dressed in all black and full body armor with a handgun holstered on their hip. They gripped the wrists of the prisoner and marched with heavy foot steeps.

He swung the doors open to see the second shift getting ready to leave. The Grocery store was like any other, cash registers, aisles labeled with everything from snacks to alcoholic drinks. His boss told him NOT to be late for his first shift. Even being a minute late will result in him being fired before he could even start the first hour of work. Matt normally wouldn’t put so much care into a jo...
Weekly Contest #332
(There are topics that some viewers may find disturbing) The oil lantern swung back and forth in rhythmic motion as if it were a person swaying to a slow song. It was hung from the ceiling of the hull, which was the bottom of the deck. The salty air had rusted the lantern's metal till it was orange and flaked off. The glass covering was nearly blackened with soot. The light was enjoyed by four men. Two of them sat across from each other and close to the lantern. The Third rested against the hull of the ship, and the reflection of the flame ...
