Ode To Vocal
For The Vocal Ode To Ordinary
Vocal may not be too happy about choosing their platform as "ordinary", but to Vocal members, it is something where we are at home, something we take, rightly or wrongly, for granted.

Write an ode to an ordinary object.

The music is "Gold" by Sigur RΓ³s because for many of us Vocal is Gold

"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Julianaβs heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. βYouβre better than this, again.β
