Dry Your Eyes
This issue will not require tissues.
It's too bad
I want it
need it
breathe it
eat it
sleep it
can not have it
I'm looking at it right now in the eye
confirming it is indeed real
I can feel it
can't touch it
can't show it to those who haven't seen it already
like moss
coating the exterior of what's on the surface
subsisting
what is unknown kills you
what is known kills you just as easily
what we feel cannot be explained by language
I am
we are
that's all there is
and sometimes
sometimes
that's all we really need.

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.
