Cinderella's Slipper
What happens when it doesn't fit?
“It’s a slipper social. Come eat, drink, and hang out.” Emily replayed the post in her head as she lowered down to put on a new pair of slippers while wiping the blood from her forehead.
“FASTER!” the voice behind her bellowed, as men in masks began corralling all the girls whose feet did not fit in the new pair they were putting on.
Thankfully, this pair fit Emily and she was forced to watch as they took the unlucky group to the back of the room to slaughter.
Cinderella was going to be the only girl who lived.

The Day
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. We didn’t always have to train on what to do when you would encounter one on a hike. There wasn’t always a faction between trying to train the beasts versus destroying the beasts. We used to live ordinary lives, with ordinary school and ordinary work. That all changed one day when I was in grammar school and my friends I stumbled across a nest and a book.

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.
