Everywhere I go is all but dead-end.
Page written full and end of the story.
No will or inspiration left to hit another dead end.
My world is painted black and red
All the other colors are beaten dead.
Now it's me, stuck in time, wondering where did I go wrong?
I guess it was my self destructive ways pointing me this way!
The first fall... broke all my bones.
From then on I took the road crawling.
The path was headed downhill.
I realise we are nothing but Falling leaves ...
Blown around... to the ground... hovering and spinning... already dead!
My blood-red theme has gotten darker...
Realising there was never a dead-end!
The reaper offers freedom I have been craving.
The reaper has the power to erase this blood-stained world.
My dead-ends were erased.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
