A Deeper Gaze at "Her Gaze". Honorable Mention in Self-Editing Epiphany Challenge.
I have written a lot of pieces I believe are challenging. It's always my goal as a writer to push myself outside of my comfort zone, and in turn, hopefully to push my readers there too. For this challenge, Vocal has asked us to pick an excerpt from a piece that we consider both imperfect and brimming with potential.

When The Coldness Lifts

Confessions of a Liar
So, it's confession time. While I am sure that most people that follow my scribblings, poetic etchings and stories will not be so fickle to stop subscribing and reading because of this, there is the potential that you might. I have made peace with that.

So The Story Goes...A Flash In the Dark
As Jaylene rushed the kids into the back of their dusty green sedan, Carl set some rudimentary traps along the kitchen window and kitchen door. There was only one way into the house from the back garden. Although it was just a spark of light that caught him unaware and forced him into action, he knew what it meant. They would soon be here, and while he wasn't one to back down from a fight, he had to stay focused on getting Jaylene and his two daughters, Maya and Adina, to safety.
