And When the Bell Tolls…

Weekly Contest #379

Introduction- “Damn You All to Hell!” “Damn you all to hell!” I said, and I’ll say it all again. “Damn you all to hell!!!” As they strung me up, I pleaded. “Don’t do this you horrible bastards! Don’t do this! I can do better! I’ll do better!” Then the black bag went over my head, and I seized up right there on the spot. My legs almost fell out from under me. I took a few deep breaths knowing they could be my last. I could not see! I hated that! I could not breathe, and I wondered what I had done to deserve such a death. Then they dosed me w...

I Can Die at Any Time.

Weekly Contest #372

I Can Die at Any Time. Trigger Warning- This short story contains Terror, Suspense, and The Possibility of Sudden Death. Introduction- You sleep- you die! Part One- Day Six of Being Awake. As Rebekah Del Rio’s perfectly performed, comforting song, “No Stars,” played on my headset, I got shivers. Such a confusing and wonderful song. I missed acting and singing on stage. Singing helps me breathe so much better. I missed the way singing would help me escape from my Central Sleep Apnea which bound me to a CPAP, and portable oxygen while away...

Then you’re going to have to jump, sir!” Said the flight attendant who was actually kind of hot. “The plane is going down!

The adrenaline was getting to me, so as sweat dripped from every inch of my body, I s...

The Scenario.

Weekly Contest #359

TRIGGER WARNING- this short story contains Mature Content, Some Violence, Suspense, and Language. The Scenario. Part One- I Could Not Help Myself. I sharpened the large blades, and I made the first cut. My mother’s maple, spiral ham recipe served with roasted vegetables and a nice salad was always a hit. Then I said it, “Dinner’s on.” And the Kendricks from around the corner came to the table. So innocent. Sheepish. And before they could take their first sip of wine, I came out with it, “I’m gonna sleep with your husband.” Karessa just g...

She had just been crying, and he could tell. “Cigarette?” He offered, and she declined. “No, but sit? Please?” She said, so he sat next to her in the hard, blue seat, and that was that. The meet/cute. Perhaps it was th...

I thought. I need my solution! Eyes stinging, I crept up to the microphone, and I nailed it! Backstage, Lucy smiled so brightly that tears finally came to my eyes, and ...

He came up with the word, “shit,” and he called it a swear, though it was a word that sounded cleaner than the rest he had come up with. “Are you okay?!” Asked Eve. “Don’t order me around like that. Remember- I’m a person. The s...

I’m gonna call you Mr. Charming to all of my friends.” “When? Where?” “Here. Six a.m. Please. Tomorrow, Mr. Charming.” “Deal. I’m usually early. All part of the charm.
