The hole in space was in the corner of my closet
I had it hidden under an old hat I owned
It was best to keep it covered
If you looked at it too closely your mind would rebel and a wave of nausea would follow
It is impossible to describe in any meaningful way
It is easier to say what it is not
It is not a hole, or a rip, or a rend, or any other tear in the fabric of reality.
It is not a wormhole, or dimensional gateway, or quantum fluctuation, or any other such science fiction device
It is simply a hole in space
It needs to be filled
It needs to be fixed
It needs to be closed
For now the hat will have to do

Alphabet Soup Featuring the Letters W, H, and A
If you are anything like me (you are not) than you think Vocal's writing challenges are anodyne, boring, cliche, and frankly stupid. Write a short fiction story about/featuring/mentioning a (fill in blank with some random everyday object associated with some literary "classic" story). Not to put to fine a point on it but yawn. How about trying something a little more challenging and a hell of a lot more interesting like the following writing challenge. Compose a poem, or a few poems, in which the first letter of every word is the same. The poem was be (mostly) grammatically correct and the story it tells actually make sense and not just be a string of gobbledy. My entry, a hybrid poem/short fiction tale with a very dark twist, using the W, H, and A is below. Can you do better?
