What do you mean by 'monthly theme'?
Well to give the contest a twist I will give a theme that every story has to be written about!

How will people vote for the stories?

STORY ENTRY'S

1►"Dreams. In my dreams I am running towards an elevator. Why must I get there? Why must everyone be in that elevator? I don't know, I never know why when I am dreaming. My mind is clear and I know I must get to the elevator before it closes. My actions change when I watch the elevator leave and I feel the room tilt. It is like someone is tilting the room like it was just a toy. I know I had hit the wall, but I don't feel anything, nothing. I watched as the elevator came back and I ran toward it, which was kinda hard since gravity was against me. I smile as I finally reach the door, I was being greeted by everyone. I open my eyes, I was lying in bed. It was just a dream. I thought and sat up. I want to be asleep again. That's how I start every morning.."- minihost2

2►"I was running away it seemed. I vaguely remember me stressing so hard to get a full breathe of air. I looked by my side. I saw my boyfriend Robbie. What was he doing there?
Before I got to ask anything, he grabbed me and so we took off towards our school. Whatever reason I was going there was fine as long as my parents had no clue about it. When we got there, I was in complete shock. As unrealistic as it seemed I saw zombies everywhere. My boyfriend grabbed me and we ran into the school where my music teacher leaded us to the basement where all the survivors were. I just waited for a zombie to pop out somewhere and infect me, but I ended up dosing off on a bench.
Soon I awoke at home. I looked out my window and it was chaos. I had a tremor of anxiety erupting inside of me. Where was the rest of my family? It looked like my apartment was abandoned for at least a decade. I looked around trying to get a sense of my changed surroundings. I felt like I was going to cry but tears refused to come out. I heard a deafening crash and a hand catapulted out of one of the windows. I covered my head…
I woke up sweating in bed. No more late night zombie gaming for me anymore." - iLydiaBear

3►" "Hiding inside the closet I clenched the knife tight in my hands, Would he look inside the closet?no,don't think just wait thinking would lead to worries and I had to focus on survival. "angel? sweetie come on out I wont hurt you!" After I heard his husky voice something crashed to the floor,"I WILL FIND YOU!" my heart started to beat inside my throat.
If he opened the closet,he would find me and everything would be over.No survival,No escape. NO! I cant think that way,I WILL ESCAPE.
I could hear a truck pull into the driveway,they were back. Now was my only shot I had to run for it, and take anyone out that got in my way. If I couldn't escape these crazy ******** will mate with me and put me back down there.... I rushed out of the closet and there he was looking right at me with half shocked eyes,pushed past him and ran out the back door all I remember is the pain in my feet and chest. I could hear them behind me but dared not looked,I just ran and ran till my body gave out. I collapsed in a field exhausted. I awoke in darkness. Was it all a dream?" - Cannibalistic Sex

4►"Where am I? I thought to myself. In front of me stood a wall of trees. Oh not just any trees. Purple trees, and they felt soft as velvet as I pushed passed them. Emerging from the trees, I found myself standing in a large meadow. There was a large pond in the center that seemed to resemble bubblegum. I glanced up at the sky, which faded to each color of the rainbow. Strangely, something was flying in the air. I squinted to see what it was. Sushi? Weird. Stranger still, as I looked down at the ground, I was ankle deep in orange fleece grass, barefoot. And the strangest, muffins wandered the meadows. Talking muffins! Something hit my head. A piece of sushi. I plopped it in my mouth, and immediately, I felt drowsy. I reached for the nearest muffin, lay down and fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, I was safe inside my room. " - I A M P A N D U H


5►“Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known”

Words from a half forgotten poem caress my troubled mind as my aching body rises unbidden from where I lay crumpled on the floor. Glass lies in ethereal patterns about me, my feet bare, cut, torn and bleeding. Nothing compares to the pain of loss I feel - a dull ache in my chest.

Her name rises unbidden to my lips as my eyes cast about the room and fail to find her. “Melody where are you?” My voice echoes into emptiness as my chest rises and falls in panic. Taking tentative steps around my square prison, the bed to my left, the door to my right, a broken sky light above, I ignore the stabbing fire at my feet as my desperation increases. A fleeting image of her appears before me and reaches out to embrace me. Instead of tender arms, I am strangled by suffocating darkness as her image presses through me. Choking I cry out her name with my dying breaths, tears falling in rivers as she takes my heart with her.

Collapse. The very sound of my body falling once more brings release to my suffering. Sweat trails down my back as the pain in my feet tries to find an outlet. I give into the urge to scream in sorrow. My cries echoing like her name in the cavernous space. Her angel watches on from above in despair." - Stormgem

Please go to the poll and vote for which story you like the most (:
