Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

Hi guys, Ralph Emerson needs your help. He has problems with Stripe and I hope here are people, who can help him. https://vocal.media/journal/help-5fd90v37
Hi, I create fiction, poetry, and recently pieces for psyche here at Vocal. This evening I discovered this great piece. https://vocal.media/psyche/in-the-end-hp1dm0ft3
I'm Alexis Wellmaker and I enjoy writing poetry, children's stories, and adult novels. I recommend reading D. Alexandra Porter's, "The Waters We Bring". This story's first chapter is hauntingly beautiful and tragic with resolution on the horizon @ https://vocal.media/chapters/the-waters-we-bring-5o8q0dgm
The other day I enjoyed a lengthy Shakespeare-related discussion here on Vocal with Rachel Deeming, a most supportive creator who engages with the work she reads and always has something interesting to say. I wanted to mention this first, because of the ongoing problems with insincerity, spamming, and vapid truncated sentences passing themselves off as comments! If you'd rather have a proper talk about writing, here on this writing platform, I recommend you cultivate Rachel's acquaintance. I also recommend her current Top Story, which I won't spoil for you with any kind of description - it's one you just have to read. See the link below! https://vocal.media/motivation/an-unexpected-phone-call
The stories of Manisha Dhalani https://vocal.media/confessions/you-my-guilty-pleasure Ruby Red's need to scream, and other stories. https://vocal.media/poets/i-will-2w3ul0qdd
Also Gerald Holmes' series is very captivating. https://vocal.media/chapters/for-the-love-of-coffee-we3220qzx

Donna Fox has been delivering wonder stories with her Tale of Thieve’s But this is an older one that deserves some love https://vocal.media/families/unsaid-goodbye
Hi, I’m new here, and eager to participate in challenges. I was browsing challenge entries when I saw this incredible poem about a different kind of love than what we’re taught to seek: https://vocal.media/poets/a-different-way-of-love
Heather's story was one of my favourites in the challenge. It should have placed. I assume you're going to give it a TS. Right?
great one please visit my profile and subscribe it and leave comments for me
I would argue that this poem, by Zara Blume, merits more attention and acclaim. It is more than it might appear to be, and dexterously mingles the ordinary and the extraordinary: https://vocal.media/poets/how-it-feels-pk1g70bn3
I LOVE this poem by Andrei Z. https://vocal.media/poets/the-sky-was-bleeding-pastel-pink. Just beyond words, how beautiful it is.
Hi vocal friends! Grateful for all of you! I have loved reading kory salajka‘s haiku collections. They are tiny snippets (haiku) of daily journaling with some gorgeous and thoughtful life lessons weaved in. https://vocal.media/poets/haiku-october-four
Hi! Me again! I also want to share this one from Leslie Writes…. She turned an unfortunate incident into a really hilarious story https://vocal.media/humor/classy-car-repairs
I'm loving Jay Kantor's writing.He is always just utterly himself. https://vocal.media/humans/baby-mamas is a great read and example of his authenticity as a writer! Plus he never fails to make me chuckle and/or think for long afterwards 🤍
Hi everyone and happy thanksgiving! I’d like to nominate my story for the Arid challenge. https://vocal.media/fiction/zion-in-vegas
