Just some thoughts. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. It's not an attack on anyone really, just me sharing some thoughts.
Although there are links above, just to clarify what I meant. I was referring to Holly Pheni's story "Secret Room" and Kelli Sheckler-Amsden's story "The Shoah", their entries for the Vocal If Walls Could Talk Challenge. Just in my humble opinion, they were overlooked wrongly.
If you did enjoy it, please click the heart or leave a comment. I appreciate all interaction.

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.

I agree with your thoughts here, friend! Vocal this, Vocal that! 🥲 Everybody’s always talkin bout it! ☺️
Great piece, and I agree with the Holly and Kelli references.
LOL, so true! We're always on about Vocal this, Vocal that. We just gotta write and do our best! I feel so many get overlooked, but it is what it is. Good one!
Vocal is about everybody. Almost Everyone feels over overlooked. So .....what the heck?
