Highlighting 
Before I knew it, the goal-scoring demon, Sinclair, picked the ball to play the penalty. At this moment, all hope was lost, our only hope of escaping flew out into thin air. She placed the ball on the penalty spot, walked back a little and positioned herself like Ronaldo, while our goalkeeper stayed in the middle of the goalpost jingling left and right.
Curator's comment :
He has woven magic into this piece : it's funny, engaging and grin-worthy. Skilfully told tale.

Even though I knew my decision was the right one, I felt tired. My research job was demanding, besides having to supervise all the staff, get home and take care of my family, I had virtually no time for myself.
Curator's comment :
popurri writes a CNF that is pure delight. She talks about stepping away from a very stressful work situation into a nature walk and a swim in a natural spring, where she comes to a conclusion about her role at the company
Highlighting 
How is it possible that you have lowered your grades? -my mother asks me, waiting for an answer. I look at her and don't know what to tell her. I would like to tell her that I miss my grandmother, that I would have liked to die with her, that I am very afraid at night every time I fall asleep because I don't feel like getting out of bed. But I prefer to keep quiet and in my head the song continues, "A white dove and a yellow dove, and a yellow dove."
Curator's comment :
Nancybriti1 writes a poignant and hard-hitting #CNF for the *escape* prompt about the loss of her grandmother when she was at high school. They were very close and her death tore Nancy apart. Her grief was so intense that she lost interest in home and school life, stopped eating, and became depressed. Sadly, her parents failed to understand what she was going through and instead of helping her to work through her grief, consigned her to her room as punishment.
