All the Worlds... and a Stage
Genius comes natural for those who can listen.
"I shall watch thee perish at the Bay of Ephesus. No marks were levied for Thy ransom. Penalty by law, condemns thee to death by-"
"Stop at once!" William asserted. "This is all wrong! Your literary illiteracy is turning this production into a comedy of errors... Wait!... a verbal extraction alludes!"
The epiphany shrouded Williams's face. He paced in a circle, tapping his right index finger to his nose. The actors waited in dreadful silence for his mental recoil to lapse.
"We shall meet again in two days. Radical changes are soon to be implemented. Good day, thespians!"

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

Spectacular. I love your work.
This was an interesting read Lamar! I enjoyed this and liked how you imagined William Shakespeare to have acted! This felt well thought out and was really well written!
That would explain why I didn't recognize any, lol.
