Little girl, small laugh, big heart, and a great smile
We grew up together and I called you mine
Swimming pool summers, go-karts, and memories made
How I loved our relationship and our talks
We'd fight, and the monster would come out
We'd make up like nothing ever happened
That's what siblings do
We grew up, moved out and became moms
Promises of college graduations and bright futures
Like darkness in the night dressed like a robber, you were stolen from us
I blinked and the monster took you
Babies without their mom saying I just want to go home
Innocence and the love between mother and children the monster took that
The rain wouldn't stop pouring will all that you'd been through
Darling, it doesn't rain forever, and the sun was about to shine
Everything changed when the monster made its last stop taking your soul from this realm unto the next

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.
