Judgement Day
How will you fare in the Afterlife?
When I died, Blind Justice assessed my living worth, fully intending to render my judgement. On the right were my good deeds and on the left all the evil I had done. The scales stood completely even no matter how they tried to nudge one way or the other.
Unable to decide my fate, and having no clue what to do, they sent me catapulting back into this horrid/beautiful world.
"Would it kill you to be either good or bad"? The voices asked.
"Apparently if I mix it just right, I can live forever by confusing fate"! I shouted back.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

Valley of Dusk
As the last beams of nightfall cast long shadows through the drapes of her little bungalow settled in a valley encompassed by the lofty piles of Himachal Pradesh, projecting a delicate gleam across her tear-streaked face, Muskaan remained by the window, lost in a self-contradicting dream. Outside, the world was slowing down for the evening, yet inside the bounds of her heart, she chose not to move on.

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.

"Would it kill you to be either good or bad?" I can totally see an angel and a devil pissed off at you and bickering with each other.
"Would it kill you to be either good or bad"? The voices asked. "Apparently if I mix it just right, I can live forever by confusing fate"! I shouted back. Love this ending haha. Such sass. Great little thought-provoker. You are endlessly creative and it's both amazing and annoying (I mean that jokingly, obviously) :D
Life hack or death hack I can’t decide great story though
Brilliant!!!!!
Would it kill you to just... Well actually yes it would 😁
Novel, this was a great read! I loved it! It was thought provoking, cheeky and surprising! It had such a great twist at the end. I love that they sent you character back because they didn't know what else to do with her! So well written and thought out! 💜
Haha great idea for a story
The story is Resounding ❤️😉💯📝
