Her image.
It's a gift.
Her fresh image, ignites me:
Heart and pulse,
breath and rush.
She warrants my unconditional surrender.
Oh such sweet terror -
A gentle fear,
soft sublime.
Godly. Dread.
Such horror to see fantasy manifest.
Unworldly; terrifying.
And then a voice mutters in my mind
'just fantasy,
make-believe.
It is an illusion.'
This I get to keep.

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.
