It's raining outside and I want to be someone different.
I want to walk through the storm and let the water wash away timidness and anxiety.
Dry off and find myself fearless, unaffected by change and rejection.
Soak in the newness, rehydrated and ready to take on anything.
Sometimes I wish it was that easy...
But maybe it is.
Maybe I'm just in the middle of the storm.
Maybe I'm just a raindrop in someone else's storm.
Maybe I'm the lightning, bright and feared.
Or maybe I'm the calm after the storm.
The light at the end of the tunnel.
Maybe
I'm already there.

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.
