My Hallways Sing Sorrows
A Haunted Haiku
Hairs rise, light quivers
The floorboards creak, hallways howl
Each step brings shivers
~
This haunted haiku is brought to you by Vocal + Assist's weekly spooky month challenges! We wanted to do something simple yet engaging to spark some creative thinking. This past week's key word was: shivers.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
