Weekly Contest #340
Mulch fills my nostrils, and I sputter out the debris. Breaths heave out of my chest, they're guttural, desperate. My ribs feel wider, more able, and they sift through the air, aiding my eyes, my awareness, hearing, everything. I don't know how, but I'm low to the ground. My head swivels around my environment.

Weekly Contest #321
Not many people can tell when they have gone overboard, added too much, or left a bitter taste in your mouth; it's for this very reason that La Petite surpasses the bakery fronts on Main Street, because divinity wretches out spoils, even the smallest of inconsistencies. It's disapproving to speak so highly of your own business, especially in a tall-poppy syndromed country like Aotearoa. Of course it is, and I wouldn't say anything out loud. But to just know it, to understand your hard work is reaping the love (and also the heartache) that we...
