Procrastination Always has to End
Reality bits
Dilly dallying in the sun
In the corner of my eye
Someone standing in the shadows
Telling myself to keep being free, but I’m
Racing towards the figure
All I can see now is darkness
Can’t find the sunshine anymore
The piles of commitment are getting higher
It wasn’t someone in the shadows, but
Our reality telling me
Now is the time to come back from day dreaming

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.
