Part of me was killed on Father's Day weekend.... Runner-Up in I Wrote This Challenge. Content Warning.
It was just before Father's Day. The kids had been getting disregulated when going into a store, so I opted to go to the store while they were gone to get a selection of Father's Day cards for them to choose from for their dad. I double checked with the manager that it was alright - as long as I returned any that were unused before noon on Saturday so that other people could purchase them. I think that I was the one who specified that as I know that making sales is very important and I really didn't want to inconvenience anyone. I'm not for sure though because I was having a hard time following through with what needed to be done for the kids.

They protect your equipment, save lives, and keep everyone safe.

The Mint That Nearly Killed Me. Runner-Up in I Wrote This Challenge.
This challenge initially seemed like a strange idea. I get it. AI and plagiarism are on the rise. But every single thing I write is mine and mine alone. Can you really imagine anyone else writing half the things I’ve written since I joined Vocal? But a challenge is a challenge.
