Where do you go
When you've given it all
And there's nothing more left to give
How do you know
If you stumble and fall
Just how to get up and live
Chaos confirmed
Mountain too tall
From unfortunate worm
To no curtain call
Trapped in your mind
Like a cold prison cell
No hope left behind
In a dried up old well
Failure is hard
When you've given your all
So, draw another card
Or let the curtain fall
What do I do
Now life's emptied the well
And I've just nothing more left to give
If only I knew
When I stumbled and fell
There's still time ...
To get up and live!

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.
