The Painting, écrit par colleyflowers

"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?

Suspect Number Five | ONC 2023, écrit par SpruceWolf

Tristan Young is, by all logical conclusions, a failure. His dream career of private investigation has left him with nothing but debt and an empty office. So when a mysterious phone call makes him a grand promise of fame and success, the decision to accept is simple. There is only one price for his ambition: one night in the local manor, and one dinner with five strangers. Easy enough. Until, sometime in the dark, the price turns bloody. With one of the party's attendees now dead and no other suspects but the remaining five, they are all thrust deep into a murder case riddled with secrets. For Tristan, it should be his fantasy come true; he finally has a puzzle to solve and a chance to put his skills to use. But the games in his head never placed himself as a puzzle piece. The game becomes a race. He has to clear his name and win what he was promised before it's too late. -♧- Written for the Open Novella Contest 2023, using prompt 49. -- ONC Shortlister -- [cover art by the amazing @-aceospades-]

30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge, écrit par stvnlra

This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018

ASPIRATION, écrit par iren_israr

In fictions of love and hate, love often wins, but why is there always a competition between the two in these fictions? A competition in which one tries its best to overpower the other, but in this process they forget each other's true value, right? And there are many people in this world whom we consider evil because of their bad personality and there are people who are really evil, but have we ever tried to look into their past to see if their personality in the present was shaped by their past? It raises thought-provoking questions: How do we define good and evil? Can one be born wicked, or are their past experience and circumstances the true shapers? Actually we should not interfere in someone's past life. But what if we get a chance to see someone's past to understand their personality? The short tale of "Aspiration" artfully highlights these concepts, where while exploring the story of a famous Detective, his wife, and a mysterious case, you will find yourself diving deeper to understand the past effects behind human personality. ┈━ ◇ ━┈ 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ᵇʸ ᴵʳᵉⁿ ᴵˢʳᵃʳ
