I am a light
Brightly I awaken
Piercing through darkness
Electricity pulses through me
Buzzing like little flies
I am the man-made firefly
Though I am still
My warmth growing
I illuminate the world around me
You
A match strikes
Candles burning
You need me no longer
In a flash my light is gone
Energy evades me
Sleep
I enter a defenseless slumber
Set to wake when I'm needed
Stationary
I will be here
But I will burn out
And you will replace me
Though my light will fade
You will never be left in darkness

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.
