Short fiction about a bookstore
I wish the news was more like “Children Save Local Bookstore.” 🥲
I know. What sad and strange times we’re living in!
Beautiful story, Justin. I sure hope bookstores don't become a faint memory. Or, show up only in Virtual Reality "rooms".
Thanks, Jenise. It’s sad, isn’t it? The dystopian genre is becoming more and more like reality.
The title alone captured the magic in this story. Well done!
Thank you so much, Amie!
What a sweet story ☺️ I'm so excited for Fifties by the Fire, already have a few ideas brewing for a story.
Thanks, Claire! Yes!!! I’m excited to hear that. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Okay! Challenge accepted. I have mine almost done. Is the title part of the 50 words, or just the story?
Hooray! Ah, darn, I knew I forgot to mention something. The title doesn’t factor in to the word count.
The last line of this story gorgeous! I've already written a draft of my story for today's prompt.
Thank you so much, Dascha! Awesome! I wonder if we should shoot for 2x monthly down the line?
I vote for 2x monthly. 😁
Maybe. It would encourage me to write more 50s again!
I like the name of the bookstore! Also like Fifties by the Fire. I will give it a try!!!
Thanks, Andrea! I’m so happy to hear that! No pressure either way, though. 😊
I love a good feel good story ☺️ I'm looking forward to Fifties by the Fire. I hope I can rise to the challenge and lots of folks participate. I think it's a wonderful idea!
Thanks, Brian! I’m looking forward to it, too. I have no idea what to expect, but it should be fun even if we are few in numbers!
