The Nameless
Amidst the ancient woods, where the threshold between our worlds was thinnest, I feverishly ran. Malicious whispers infected my ears with horrible intensity, swarming in the deepest recesses of my mind. The howling and icy wind scraped against black decaying branches. I stepped on one and it cracked as loud as a broken spine. I shot a backwards glance, desperately praying that I wasn’t heard. My hope swiftly died as the same vile and repugnant stench of rotting meat was in the air. I could see the amalgamation of ineffable pustules veiled in the dark foliage…it found me.

Charles was sitting alone on one side of the table while five directorial managers, all working for a medical machinery company - M&T Medical Supplies- were sitting across from Charles. Their ironed, wrinkle-free suits rival the singular man’s long-sleeved, buttoned-up slate shirt and black pants with the brown dressy shoes.

PAPERCUT. Runner-Up in Unexpected Uncovering Challenge.
I started with paper planes. Folds and tears, carefully scoring along the dotted lines. It progressed to swans and cranes, boats and buildings, snowflakes and sea creatures that swirled overhead — legs and tendrils dangling on white string.
