Becoming I. Runner-Up in Whispering Woods Challenge. Top Story - March 2024.
As dawn breaks night's terror with a sure and steady hand, the harbinger's scream has faded to an echo of memory. In its wake, nothing but a buzzy chirp and coo of conversation scores the canopy of my trees. The day rolling in is gentle, the air calm and cooling, with skies a soothing powdered blue. Dew glistens in dapples along my mossy pathways, coaxing the rising sun's warmth into the last of night's shadows where blood, splashed from kills onto the loin of my trees, remains wet.

Redemption
In the small town on the outskirts of Blackwood, nestled deep within the misty forests of New England, there was a legend among the townsfolk. Many would speak of the witches who dwelled deep in the shadows where no one would go, their hearts blackened by bitterness and their souls twisted by hate. These witches hated children. They had a high sense of smell. Any time a child was near by the witches would smell the foulest smell you could ever imagine.
