Roots and Branches Results
I’m a stinker! I closed with a rhyming couplet as compensation for toying with you.
There were over three hundred entries in the Roots and Branches Challenge, and some authors truly took a fresh perspective on the prompt, turning the world upside down for readers.
Link to actual challenge results:
roots and branches
roots and branches
whose roots?
whose branches?
A two hundred dollar trunk?
Twenty dollar leaves?
What are the results?
Tell us, please!

Letter to my Daughter
You have a choice to make here: are you going to continue the cycle, or are you going to break it? Keeping your son away from me hurts him; there’s no question about that. I thought you were being hurt, and I was trying to protect you, not punish anyone when I kept your grandfather away from you. I have said that I was wrong and I am sorry, but there was never any malice involved.

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.
