Winner Bedtime by DanaSan

Congratulations to our Winner DanaSan. She has won our 2020 50 word horror contest! Please congratulate her in the comments below. 

Dear Whoever You Are by Angela Carlton

For that is the question, isn’t it? I don’t know who you are anymore. Once, you were the guy, my carefree man with those sea-glass colored eyes and that laugh.

An Unlikely Heritage

I am sharing a story about by grandfather who was a violinist and as a young man lived in China. The story connects his love of music and the country of China to my daughter whom we adopted from China and now plays his violin.

Among the Cattails by Christopher Seiji Berardino

The searchlights from the guard towers were yet not lit, and in the blue of twilight, the garden looked like a tiny village.

Is There a Santa Claus 1897

Is There a Santa Claus 1897

The following, reprinted from the editorial page of the New York Sun, was written by the late Mr. Frank P. Church: We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: Dear […]
