The Man or The Bear
Stay Vigilant
ATTENTION
You must read, heed this without hesitation
Keep your heads down and your mouths shut
Your hands folded, your heart sweet
Make your legs pliable, easily spread
Close your books, stop the thoughts
Knowledge is not advisable
Do not be caught alone
Do not go out at night
Do not make eye contact, or be inviting
Lock the children away
They will come for them too
If you are found
If you choose to not heed
You will be broken
You will be stolen from
You will be trapped
You will be taken
You will be a vessel to breed
Stay home
Stay safe
Choose your words with care
They’re always lurking
They are everywhere

Craft Over Catharsis Challenge Winners
Craft Over Catharsis? What the hell does that even mean? The phrase came out of a curation meeting as a genuine question. We had been noticing that many challenge entries, across prompts, naturally gravitate toward trauma, grief, and personal reckoning. That makes sense. Writing is often cathartic. It's one of the ways we process what we've lived through.
