Weekly Contest #234
The first one was easy, so easy that Magellan almost couldn’t believe it. The girl was sitting in the window as he was passing by, and it was the work of a moment – literally – to catch her attention tenderly in his grasp and redirect it to that middle space where nothing existed. Her eyes glazed over, and he could feel the way her mental energy shifted from thinking to absence. If Magellan had been corporeal, his heart might have leaped, or his stomach might have fluttered, or his face might even have split in a grin of delighted trium...

Hell looks like four wicker seats around a low coffee table in the open-air lobby of a paradise resort.The Cozumel evening is warm, with a gulf breeze brushing gentle fingers against my bare arms and face and bringing the faint smell of salt and fish and someone’s coconut sunscreen.

Weekly Contest #208
Sensitive content warning: Self-harm/suicide, abuse, mental illness. Once upon a time, there was a girl named Bea. Bea was rather a horrid girl, and all through middle school and high school, she and her friends picked on a very nice girl named Katie. Katie and Bea were as different as different could be. Where Bea was self-centered and vain, Katie was generous and humble - and Bea teased her for it. Where Bea was loud and fashionable, Katie was meek and wore outdated clothes - and Bea teased her for that, too. Bea...
