In the dark of night
She comes out to play
With a sneer on her face
She stalks her prey
Her eyes wide and gleaming
Imagination teeming
With thoughts of just how
She’ll make this scoundrel pay
Slow and painful
He deserves nothing less
For the torment he caused
And the lives he left a mess
Flashing briefly through her mind
Are some others of her kind
They disagree with her
They just want him to confess
Getting lost in her thoughts
She didn’t sense that they were coming
Now they stand on guard in front of her
While her perp walks away, unaware and humming
They look at her with pointed stares
She looks back at them and glares
Prepared to take on all three
Her pulse speeds, and her blood starts thrumming

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.
