Cover pics with Black characters have a serious lack of representation on Vocal Top Stories, plus other grouses.. Top Story - August 2023.
Dear Anyone Ever since I joined Vocal, I have noticed that if I use Black faces to represent my stories it almost never gets picked for a Top Story, except one, and it was a caricature of a rather pretty witch. I have monitored the situation for a long time, and I need to state my case. After thumbing through recent pages of TS', I found two stories represented, one by me which speaks about Vocal, not my personal stories, and the other a story about Carlee, a Black girl who lied about an incident, not very flattering. Did she really have to do something bad to have her face make top story.

Unveiling the Pistons: Traditional vs. Cutting-Edge
In the heart of every car's engine lies a crucial component: the piston rings. These inconspicuous rings play a pivotal role in maintaining engine integrity, sealing combustion chambers to prevent gas leakage and oil intrusion. For over a century, traditional piston rings crafted from durable materials like cast iron or steel have dominated the automotive landscape, known for their strength and endurance. However, in the ongoing automotive revolution, newer generations of piston rings have emerged, embracing lighter materials such as aluminum or titanium, coupled with innovative design approaches, to enhance engine efficiency while posing challenges to traditional durability.

Far As I Know, My First Published Pieces
A friend of mine shared these poems pictured from back in my school days. I don't remember writing them. I don't remember what the poems were supposed to be about, what the prompts were, or what was going on. They are truly terrible, and I offer no apology for subjecting you to them. Bask in all the glory of edgy teenage angst!

The Man In the Lighthouse
I still dream of the Lighthouse from my very first story written on Vocal, and it is both haunting and nostalgic. The Lighthouse was a story about accepting the storm within myself in order to find the road back home. At the end of that road lay the Lighthouse; a constant reminder of my failures to shine. The man inside was my higher power who was always waiting for me to find my way and I did that through sobriety.

Akdown
It was my Junior year of high school, and I belonged to a group of friends that were obsessed with video games and professional wrestling. We weren’t meatheads, per se, but when we got together, we often acted as such. I would go to my friend Jonathan’s house, we would fire up his Sega Saturn, and we would play these terrible professional wrestling video games. They would handle poorly, the graphics wouldn’t impress anybody, and it was very stupid, juvenile, and overall harmless fun. One such week, we used the create-a-wrestler function to create our own personal and horrific abominations. We would program their moves, their finishers, their celebrations, everything; we fashioned them after psychopathic clowns in the vein of the Insane Clown Posse (we were stupid teenagers; I’ll apologize for nothing). We played our characters against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Rock… and we had a blast.
