Highlighting @iskawrites, with the story:

After some minutes of clustering in fear-filled clumps, the braver students among us proceeded to the departmental notice board to resume or begin checking the result sheets which had been slammed to the board some minutes earlier.
Curator's comment :
A painful story told with drama.
Highlighting @lightpen, with the story:

I dropped my sponge and looked into his eyes; "from the followers emerged the leaders. The problem is beyond apportioning blame. If we change at our levels, there would be change above.
Curator's comment :
This piece has such a measured, balanced tone that it was a pleasure to read.
Highlighting @nathy33, with the story:

Maybe your mom told you that I am a nurse by profession and by vocation. I say by vocation because I see my profession as a way to contribute a grain of sand to the world, but let me tell you that it was not always like that. There was a time when I doubted myself and my abilities. I even came to believe that I was not good for this. I had to take a pause to think and decide if it was really what I wanted.
Curator's comment :
Nicely balanced piece providing insight and entertainment.
