What dance is your distraction?
Inspired by the image
Dirty, I bet, like Swayze; or maybe
Indian Bollywood bhangra beats,
Square for formal, samba for saucy!
Tango? Dramatic, muted passion simmering...
Rhythmic, rolling rhumba perhaps?
Alligator glide! Reptiles slide, crocodiles rock!
Charming Charleston or cha-cha-cha?
Tarantella, a hairy dance of many legs or
Irish dancing, straight-backed in a kilt
Or ballet or line or ceilidh or rain!
No one dance is the same.

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.
