Her Name is Star. Runner-Up in The Dragon Beside Me Challenge. Top Story - February 2024.
Dear H, Many of us look up to those who inspire us. Not me. I look down. I didn’t find my idol in a book or newspaper, in a classroom or on TV. I gave birth to you. You’re sitting five feet away as I type this, licking icing off your fingers from the cinnamon swirl you made yesterday, and wiping them on your blanket, eyes fixed on an inane series of YouTube shorts. Not inspiration material? Sometimes seeing the cogs makes our heroes all the more inspiring, and you inspire me every day.

Why, Why, Why. Runner-Up in Snow Micro Challenge.
It rained all day today, and I with it. Silently misting, pooling in my eyes, battering the earth, streaming down my cheeks, dripping from the gutters, rain fell all day, as if we would fall for evermore. What can I make from rain though? Only rivers and seas too strong for me to stand against. Now evening comes, let me close my swollen eyes and breathe frost across the sodden tableau. Let me dress this rain as snow.

The Paradox of the Unicorn and the Rainbow
It is a truth universally acknowledged that unicorns are the best thing in the world. Not only do they sparkle like jism in the rays of a rising sun, but they do magic from their horns too, as well as being dainty and pretty and alive with raw muscular power, somehow unifying the confusingly contradictory fantasies of girls in early pubescence the world over.

Synergy . Runner-Up in Misplaced Challenge. Top Story - February 2024.
It’s a high stakes gamble for me, this strategy. Part one has gone well, but the odds were more in my favour then. Part two is anyone’s game, and I’m playing to a crowd who does not favour me, mostly. They might, if they looked at the long game, but people don’t. They say it’s a team sport, which is easy to say when you’ve got your roots so deep in that it would take quite the storm to knock you out. I do understand that. The captain is playing for glory, and we don’t all need to shine for a win to be declared. But we all want to, that is built in. Everyone wants to flourish, don’t they? So here I am, laying low, hoping it might be me. If it’s not, it will all be over for me.
