The Eternal Question
What happens, then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A steady thump of life, the heartbeat,
Our soul is trapped inside, a cage of meat,
This fuels our endless examination,
Of the eternal question,
What happens when our hearts do not beat?

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.
