I write because I must. I believe each one of us has the ability to propel humanity forward.

And yes, especially in these moments, Schadenfreude must not rule the web.

Becca's Beginnings
The writer hovers the nib over virgin-white paper. She waits for that perfect opening line, but creative thoughts refuse to flow.

Vocal Member Reads and Hearts
There is a parallel story going on in Vocal Member reading and appreciation groups as compared to to the platform itself. I think this merits a story.

Doggone it!
"What do you think I am, a matchmaker?" My Labrador friend just doesn't get the dating thing. He's now on the phone, and I have to take this call. He wants me to set up a date for him. This is his profile picture. He got a bit formal with the bowtie, what can I say, he's clueless!

The Lesson
Want to gain fun and lose pounds? Then Carl's Zumba class is the place to go. However, he doesn't need advertising. You see, Carl's the most popular Zumba instructor I've known. His infectious energy uplifts everyone, and the room reverberates with the intense routine filled with foot-shaking music. His class is never boring, the music choice, the routines, the accessories, are varied. He uses resistance bands, hula hoops, bandannas, weights, and pure enthusiasm. There's everything for everyone, and this is no hyperbole.

Should you Multi-Prompt?
The new word in Vocal media circles is "MultiPrompt." The red grammar line will not hold me back. Instead, I'm going to charge ahead like a raging bull.

The Word...
"Marigold, tell me what is the most powerful word?" Choices descend upon her all of a sudden. Unprepared, she feels like a member of the Animal Farm. All words are powerful, but some are more powerful than others.

Sand Castles
Author's Note: Works of fiction need inspiration. This work is written in the first person, with my words and imagination. This story is largely inspired by the life of Sudarshan Pattnaik, a world renowned sand artist from India. I took the creative spark from his life to make up a piece of fiction with the hope that art imitates life, and in turn life imitates art.

Thank-You Note
Dear Human Friend, The thoughtful gift of the pink plastic companion from you gives me much happiness. You see, I lost the love of my life a few weeks ago. I don’t know what caused her affliction. We used to hold tails together and swim with abandon.

Tragedy or Triumph?
Will you ever know my victories and defeats? The people you once defended sleep with no care. They don’t remember you. They say you upheld loyalty, where was that loyalty to her?

Abundance and Generosity
She safeguards a plastic card identity within zippers and compartments. Birkenstock sandals, the multi- pocketed traveler’s capris convey a casual, crumpled look. The drip-dry blouse, tousled hair, and distressed leather bag slung over shoulder geotag her better than any AI algorithm. An ever-so-slight arrogance that all America is the United States is plain to see but hard to pin.

The City Apartment
I live on the top floor in an old Second Empire building with its double-pitched hipped roof. Daylight streams through the large bay windows creating a halo around me. I feel invincible here. The sun shines through sky-lights and dormer mansard windows.

Just The Backpack
There's something special about impromptu trips. "Meet us at the ferry, we'll take the head count there," reminds Sara before waving goodbye.
