Clara’s Llama
100-word story. About a girl’s desire for a llama plush.
Clara spent every day gazing at the llama plush in the shop’s window. Silver sparkles nestled on its soft fuchsia fur, a blue ribbon resting on its right ear, and round black eyes shining under the lights. It had been imported from Japan.
Clara’s jaw dropped every time she saw the price tag: £31.99. She put £5 out of her pocket money every week to get the llama.
“You’re so beautiful,” Clara said. “I’ll call you Rosie.”
Seven weeks later, she had the money. She rushed to the shop only to find that Rosie had just been purchased…by her mother.

The Lost City of Eloria
Dr. Emily Carter stood in the dimly lit university archive, her heart racing as she carefully unrolled an ancient map. It depicted the location of Eloria, a fabled city of gold lost to history. This discovery could redefine archaeology, and she couldn’t wait to present it.

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
