Short Story Tournament

THE LADY, OR THE TIGER? by Frank R. Stockton (1882) (link) - tw: death mentions

If he opened the one, there came out of it a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most cruel that could be procured, which immediately sprang upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his guilt. But, if the accused person opened the other door, there came forth from it a lady, the most suitable to his years and station that his majesty could select among his fair subjects, and to this lady he was immediately married, as a reward of his innocence.

NKÁSHT ÍÍ by Darcie Little Badger (2014) (link) - tw: death

Great-grandmother taught me everything she knew about death before it took her. Never sleep under a juniper tree. They grow between this world and the place below. Bury the dead properly, lest their ghosts return. A ghost is a terrible thing. Someday, we will all be terrible things. Great-grandmother, you were right.

“You’re doing it wrong!”

“Me? I’m pretty sure I’m not.”

“How would you even know? When was the last time you ate real pasta?”

“Boys!” Darcy entered the kitchen frowning. “What’s going on?”

“Frank is killing this carbonara.” Brock accused.

“You ain’t the only one who knows how to cook pasta!” Frank protested.

“Oh lord.” Darcy sighed. “Who was cooking first?”

“Frank.” Brock admitted.

“So it’s his food, he’ll make it.” Darcy decided.

“But…”

“No ‘but’!” She cut Brock. “You and I will do the dishes. That’s the law of the land.”

Frank snorted.

Cradle of Life: Part Two

Title: Alexander Pierce

Summary: After your father’s death, you’re sent a box of his belongings. Come to find out, one of your father’s enemies is after said belongings so you reach out to a few of your friends for help.

Warnings: fencing sparring with weapons, foil & Sais; gun violence/bullets; character injury/death; mentions of blood/Ebola; gunshot wound; home intrusion; and I believe that’s everything. If I miss anything, I do apologize but you are responsible for what you read.

Wordcount: 1,478

Two days later and you were still trying to break the code on the orb. To say you were getting frustrated would be an understatement and it showed while you were sparring with Edwin. The two of you were fencing and you were being a bit too aggressive for a simple sparring match. You hated to do it but eventually you caved and called Rick, who almost immediately agreed to help. Just as you were lunging forward, Jake entered the room.

“Anything?” You bark as you remove your helmet and turn your head towards Jake.

Edwin tries to advance but you manage to block his move just in time, you grunt as you do. Jake sighs as he shakes his head, not wanting to be on the receiving end of your aggression.

“I know it’s sound that this coin represents but so far everything that I’ve tried hasn’t worked. And there could be dozens, hell, thousands of combinations of sounds that might do the trick. It’ll take a while before I have anything.” Jake explains, and he waits for your reply as you spar against Edwin.

He watches as the swords tangle together and Edwin manages to knock yours out of your hand and it flies across the floor. A smile forms on Edwin’s face, one of being victorious causing you to narrow your gaze at him. You then do a couple of back flips and collect the Sais displayed on the wall. You twirl them a couple of times as you walk back towards Edwin, the smile from his face instantly fading. You turn your head towards Jake as you get into a defense position.

“Then we’ll try thousands.”

Jake lets out a huff of air. “Alright, I’ll get back at it then.”

Jake walks away and heads back towards the office, he could tell he was in for a long night. You and Edwin continued to spar, each countering the other’s move. You eventually knock Edwin’s sword out of his hands and he concedes. The rest of the day was pretty calm with the slightest bit of tension clinging in the air. You and Jake tried different sound combinations but nothing seemed to be working, which only frustrated you and Jake more. It wasn’t until Edwin was bringing you two some coffee at the late hour, when you finally made some headway on the orb. You were taking a huge drink of your fresh coffee when the orb finally responded to the sound causing Jake to perk up.

“Woah, what was that?” Jake inquired as he sat up, adjusting his glasses. “Do that again.”

Before you could do anything though, a bullet broke through the glass window and instantly shattered it. The bullet flies past you and into the decorative bust on the table across your desk. Several more bullets follow suit as the three of you begin to take cover. You roll under the desk, grabbing the two hidden guns that are concealed beneath it.

“Jake!” You call out to him before looking over at him. You smile to see that he’s already armed.

The two of you nod at each other as you prepare yourself for a fight. The bullets suddenly stop and you go to peek over the desk when men in tactical gear smash through the window.

“Get back!” You yell and you look over to see if Edwin is alright, only to find him gone.

The men begin to force you and Jake out of the room as they begin firing again. Jake pulls you close to him as you scramble out of the office. You already know what they’re after, you don’t even have to think twice about it. The two men keep pushing you and Jake further away from the office as a third man comes through the now broken window. He walks up to the orb and just as he begins to pick it up to put it into a bag, he hears the cock of a shotgun.

“I don’t think so.” Edwin says sternly and with a straight face. The intruder doesn’t respond so Edwin shoots off a round past the man, a warning shot. “The next one won’t miss. Leave now.” Edwin orders, cocking the shotgun again.

Edwin then screams out in pain as a bullet pierce his right shoulder causing him to fall to his hands and knees. The intruder takes this moment to snag the orb and run off with it. Just as you and Jake were returning to the office, Edwin was getting back up on his feet as he held his shoulder.

“Edwin!” You rush over to him to help him and so does Jake.

He shakes his head, refusing your help. “I’m fine. I’m sorry Y/n but they got the orb, I tried to stop them.”

You were about to say something when the sound of someone stepping on glass catches the attention of all of you. Still on high alert, you and Jake aim your guns in that direction only to lower them again.

“What the hell happened here?” Rick inquired as he examined all of the damage.

You can’t help but roll your eyes at him. “Someone just stole my bloody orb.” You say it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Meanwhile, Alexander Pierce along with six other men and women are in a conference room in one of Pierce’s many high rises located in Madripoor. As Pierce is talking about his latest discoveries, one of the men starts coughing and spitting up blood. Looks of concern form on the other’s faces whereas Pierce stops his pacing as he glances down to his watch. When he looks back up, he nods to a waiting agent and they begin to pass out a small pill. Pierce watches as everyone accepts the pill before adjusting his tie. He then starts to walk towards the coughing man, speaking as he does.

“There’s an expression: “It’s not nice to fool mother nature.” Yet, that’s precisely what I’ve been doing for some time now. While the weapons I make serve their purpose, there have always been limitations. Stable diseases aren’t lethal. Deadly ones burn out too quickly. Mother nature can only be fooled so much. Deploy my weapons, and your enemies, however great, will collapse from within,” Pierce pauses for a brief moment as the man starts to cough harder. “Rather like Mr. Malick’s collapsing right now.” Pierce was about to continue when Ms. Hawley interrupts him.

“What the hell is going on?!” Mrs. Hawley speaks up, a slight waver in her voice.

Pierce turns to her. “Malick told MI6 about this meeting. That’s why the change in location. He was going to turn me over to them in return for his own safety.” Pierce then turns his attention to Malick, who was still coughing uncontrollably. Pierce grabs him by the hair and forces him to look at him. “A smart man would’ve known I was on to him. He would’ve never come to the meeting. But I knew you would. You actually thought you could fool me. That, gentlemen, is the sound of a traitor dying,” Pierce lets go of Mr. Malick as he takes his final breath. A long, pregnant pause fills the room as the group waits for what Pierce has to say next. “That was an accelerated form of Ebola, deadliest disease known to man. Highly contagious. However, as with all known diseases, there exist stockpiles of antiserum in the West.” Pierce was over by the agent who had handed out the pills and took the last one. He glances down at his watch and waits a few more seconds before taking the pill and placing it in his mouth, swallowing it down with nothing but his saliva. He waits a moment as he watches his colleagues do the same thing except swallowing theirs down with water. “There is no antiserum for what I’m offering you. No treatment. No vaccine. No cure. The world’s never seen anything like what I’ve uncovered.”

“Uncovered?” Rockwell inquires.

Pierce turns to him. “Yes, see, I’ve branched out. Archaeology. 5-3-4-9-2-0-8, that is the account at the Mashreq Bank. One hundred million each, if you please.”

The group looks around at each other, each wondering what exactly could be worth that type of money. Pierce then spots Brock Rumlow out of the corner of his eye, waiting for him. Pierce then concludes the meeting, telling them the short version of Pandora’s box before walking out of the conference room. Rumlow and Pierce then begin to walk down the hallway.

“Did you retrieve it?” Pierce inquires, glancing over at Brock.

“Yes sir. It’s down in the lab as we speak.” Brock replies.

Pierce nods his head in approval. “Good. Because I just told a room full of men about Pandora. We can’t have any setbacks.”
