Try to hide it.
Don't fight the feeling.
No one will ever know.
Don't scream,
Don't make a sound.
Just let it happen.
You let it happen.
It's all your fault.
Or it's all in your head.
No one cares at all.
Hide the scars.
No one can know.
The truth can hurt.
The truth can kill.
Don't let them see.
Just let it be.
They'd be better off without you.
You'd be better off without you.
You can't escape yourself.
You can't outrun it.
You can't fight it.
You can't stop the voices
The noise won't stop.
It starts to consume you.
Eating you from the inside out.
There is no hope.
There is no help

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.
