A Final Appeal. Honorable Mention in Love Letters Through Time Challenge.
Dearest Beloved, Full three weeks have stretched their dreary course since last thy tender murmur graced mine ears. While the hours bereft of thy affection weigh heavy on my weary heart, yet still I feel the gentle linger of thy lips and taste the honeyed fragrance of thy breath. Though the call of battle did wrest thee from my arms, naught within this mortal realm could wrest thee from my heart. And so, I await thy return with trembling lips. Thy silence renders me speechless and pale, drawing questions from my lord. Thus forsaken, I count the days until I may bask within thy welcoming embrace once more.

Contemplating Catastrophe
Okay, I know these kinds of reality-based musings aren't my typical Vocal fare, but I thought you might enjoy this particular rabbit hole. I’ve been reading lately about the potential for war with Russia and, more specifically, the potential for Russia to send nuclear missiles hurtling toward the United States.

Things Mike Singleton Has Taught Me So Far
In The Beginning . . . When I first began using Vocal a couple of years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I threw a few stories and poems up on here sporadically as official contest entries, read a small number of stories by other authors, rarely commented on anything, and basically floundered around purposelessly. Then, relatively recently, I discovered Mike Singleton.

My Dishonourable Mention - The Officially Unofficial Dishonourable Mention Challenge! by Paul Stewart
Disgruntled. That’s how I feel about all of this. I mean, here this is, a perfectly wonderful opportunity to enter in a challenge, and here I am, hardly able to participate at all. I thought when I saw the title, The Officially Unofficial Dishonourable Mention Challenge, that I would have no problem entering it. After all, I’m critical. I can be harsh. I have a high enough self-regard to be able to successfully look down on others from my elevated saddle. And yet, having read the rules, it’s clear that I cannot enter this contest.
