The Unlikely Family*
Deep within the lush jungle, a young Mowgli lay asleep in his cozy treehouse, surrounded by the loving animals who had raised him. Baloo, the gentle bear, kept watch, ensuring the little cub's safety.
One evening, as the sun dipped into the horizon, Mowgli wandered into the forest, searching for adventure. He stumbled upon a lost elephant calf, separated from its herd. The frightened calf's eyes sparkled with tears.
Without hesitation, Mowgli wrapped his arms around the calf's trunk, offering comfort. "You're safe now, little one," he whispered. "I'll help you find your family."
Baloo, Bagheera, and the wolf pack joined the quest. Together, they navigated the jungle, facing challenges and overcoming obstacles. Along the way, Mowgli shared stories of his own journey, finding a family among the jungle creatures.
As they finally reached the elephant herd, the calf's mother rushed to reunite with her baby. Overjoyed, she thanked Mowgli and his friends.
The jungle creatures celebrated late into the night. Mowgli realized that family wasn't just about blood ties but about the love and care shared among those who accepted him for who he was.
As Baloo hugged Mowgli tight, he whispered, "You're our cub, our family. We'll always be here for you."
Mowgli smiled, knowing he had found his true home amidst the jungle's vibrant tapestry.

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
