Nature's Finest
A Brief Glimpse into the Psychology of Television and Its Viewers
It is a Monday morning
I'm watching a boxing match on the ol' tube. There are two men, one in blue trunks, one in red trunks
I don't root for either of them
Spittle flies, blood hits the floor along with blue trunks
Red trunks is on him
The ref attempts to interfere, gets a swift one to the chin and takes a nap
Red trunks puts two more nails in blue trunk's coffin
The crowd panics
It takes four men to subdue red trunks until the paddy wagon, EMT's and coroner get there
Why are they still filming?
I change the channel
There is a lion being filmed in a documentary; it's just finished hunting and killing an antelope and is now indulging itself
seems interesting enough.

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.
