TWO VOICES IN ONE SILENT BED (Anthropomorphic fiction)
<p><br/></p><p>DoveLina stirred in the morning light. Her paw brushed the quilt near DoveCiro, feathers trembling softly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Why do we lie like strangers sometimes?” she asked, eyes tracing the curve of his wing.</p><p><br/></p><p>DoveCiro opened one eye. “I thought quiet meant love,” he murmured. “I didn’t know it could cage us.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I miss the mornings when your laughter shook the branches,” she said. “When your words wrapped around me like wings in flight.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I remember,” he said, reaching out. “I loved holding you then, feeling your heartbeat sync with mine. I forgot how loud silence can roar.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her feathers twitched with a smile. “Do you remember the first night in this nest? We whispered secrets until the fog bowed beneath us.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He laughed, soft and low, shaking the air between them. “And I promised you the stars, even though I only had the moon.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“You gave me the moon,” she said. “And every night since, you make it shine brighter than I imagined.”</p><p><br/></p><p>DoveCiro nudged her shoulder with a gentle wing. “I hid my fears behind quiet. I thought it protected you, but it only built walls around our hearts.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Her paw met his. “Then we knock them down,” she said. “Even if the bed creaks. Even if the walls eavesdrop. Let us speak, truly.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He leaned closer, nose brushing hers. “Tell me what your heart says, Lina. Not just words, but the song beneath them.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I am afraid of losing you,” she whispered. “Not to another, not to anger, not to time but to silence. To nights where our voices vanish before dawn.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“And I am afraid too,” he admitted. “I let quiet become armor, but it left me exposed. I let fear steal what should have been ours.”</p><p><br/></p><p>DoveLina curled closer, feathers brushing his chest. “Then let me remind you,” she said, “our love is fire, and our hearts are wings. I will sing, and you will soar with me. We will not let silence rule.”</p><p><br/></p><p>DoveCiro traced her paw with gentle claws. “I will listen. I will speak. I will carry every word of yours like feathers in my heart.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“I will hold yours the same,” she said. “And when storms come, we will weather them together. When the wind shakes the branches, we will laugh. When shadows fall, we will light them with our own flame.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He pressed his forehead to hers. “You are my nest, Lina. My home. My heart learns its song from you every day.”</p><p><br/></p><p>“And you are mine, Ciro,” she whispered. “Every dawn, every dusk, every stolen minute. Even when the world sleeps, we will wake our love.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Outside, the fog lifted. Sunlight draped over the nest like a blessing. The leaves leaned closer, listening, approving.</p><p><br/></p><p>For the first time in many mornings, the bed did not feel silent. It sang with them soft, fierce, alive.</p><p><br/></p><p>Two voices, once muted, now rising together. Two hearts learning to speak, to love, and to burn without fear.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
