From time to time (generally around the holidays) I will post a story in a series of episodes on this blog. Dividing a story into episodes helps me identify redundancies and fine tune the pace (either slow it down or speed it up). Some followers of this blog seem to enjoy following along while others grow quiet. Perhaps they don’t want to tell me what a crappy writer I am or perhaps they just don’t have the time. Which is fine. I totally understand. So I will be warning you with #Storytime each time I post an episode so that if you don’t want to follow along, don’t feel obliged to. I will always love you anyway.

This lovely, bewitching season I will be re-posting a story first published here in October 2016 but …. I’ve set the story amidst its consequences to the young women involved. I don’t know which is most frightening. Truth or reality.
