The Intruder
An intruder approaches. I'm on high alert. They're getting closer. I run to the main lookout post, cortisol flooding my body. I sound the alarm. They keep coming. I call out, warning them not to take another step. I am armed, and I will use my weapons if needed. They are either brave or stupid. I'm determined to defend this location, no matter what it takes. The prospect unnerves me. I admit to shaking, muscles humming with tension. But look - they are leaving! Panting with relief, I return to my basket.

But I Told Her I Don't Like Cats
I found out a terrible thing about my husband. I found it out long before we married. Actually, it was just a little after we met. I forgave him and decided I could make it work. In all honesty, maybe I always knew, on some level. The very thing that should have repelled me, drew me in. Isn't that the way with all of us?

Hey, You. Yes, You. Write Something!. Top Story - May 2023.
Remember: if you are not speaking it, you are storing it, and that shit gets heavy - Christina Isabel I've said before: my writing is for me, more than it is for anyone else. It's me, letting the words spill and arranging them on the page. I wrote about piercing a mind-boil and letting the goo flow.

What's the best strategy for posting on Vocal?. Top Story - May 2023.
What do you do? Do you post frequently, or do you wait until you have a piece that really shines to post? Is it possible to post too often? Do you write for fun, or are you trying to grow an audience and make any kind of substantial income on this platform (or any like it)?
