My back ached on the rough gravel as the acrid smell of rotting foliage wafted up my nose. I opened one eye and snapped it shut as I swallowed back the lump in my throat. The slate structure loomed over my head like a behemoth monster from a dystopian universe. A pulsation began, humming through the ground and up into my spine, increasing in volume, the irregular thumps creating a disjointed beat. I raised my hand to my head to find a lump at the bottom of my skull.
Who or…what?

Love stories can be of various kinds – short contest story

When God closes a door, he opens another.
“Very well for one to forward such messages”, I thought, and sighed to myself. I glanced outside my window. The thunder, the heavy rain, the dark, gloomy sky reflected my mood. I had thought that coming to Liverpool for my MBA would help, buy me time. But things didn’t work that way, and I felt all lost and alone now. Sigh.

Jealousy – short contest story

Melissa knew she had to get out of there and quickly, but her feet wouldn’t
move. It was as if her whole body had frozen fixing her to that very spot.
The emergency light was flickering overhead and cast a subtle light in the
otherwise dark corridor. She could hear him. His breathing was heavy and carried
along the corridor to where she stood.
The police would be there soon and then it would all be over. No more jealousy,

Stranger by the sea – short contest story

She was standing by the side of the road parallel to the sea. The bottom of a very soft and yellow summer dress fluttered around her knees. In contrast, her dark tresses, with generous help from the wind, tried to obscure her face, protecting her beauty from passersby. You could inhale a sweet, inviting smell if you walked past her.
