I can't shake this
cold.
My soul is tired
I am growing old
on the inside.
My life has started
but barely begun.
I shudder and shiver
with the heat of the sun.
What do I amount to?
(nothing)
What have I done?
(---)
I need something
(someone.)
I am so easily broken
though I appear whole.
If only they could see into my mind
...my soul.
I feel hollow
over the love of you.
But you are wrong.
I can't think what to do.
I need someone else
to love me
But, who?
About the Creator
Tai Dean
I love writing and I'm a broke student. WOop.
Worked at a haunted elementary school
I worked as a custodian at an elementary school for about a year. My dad, who had previously worked there, used to tell me stories about the place being haunted. He would come home and excitedly recount the ghost's latest antics, eager to see what it would do next. I always thought he was just being his usual goofy self, spinning interesting tales that may or may not have been true. I had never personally encountered a ghost before or believed they were real, but that all changed during my time at the school.

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.
