The light gently pierces through the curtains.
The sky is crying soft tears.
Beauty is silently waiting with her violent kiss.
Something is coming and I’m not ready for it.
I was so restless last night.
Sleep didn’t invite itself in.
Shadows were dancing across my window.
Why couldn’t I sleep?
Why did my body felt empty?
The light gently pierces through the curtains.
Look at that little joy creeping in.
Where did it suddenly came from?
Did I leave any clues behind?
Joy wanted to sleep with me but I wasn’t tired.
Curiosity kept me awake.
I needed something from this day.
I needed to know that the possibilities were real.
Something had to change.
I needed to change.
The light gently pierces through the curtains.
The sky stopped crying.
Beauty is not waiting anymore.
She came in with joy.

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.
