SHORT STORY

“We each live our stories and we learn most from the stories of others. When you feel alone, you can find community in stories; when you weaken, you can find strength; when you are disheartened, you can find resolve; when you are down, you can be lifted; when you feel pain, you can find comfort; when you question, you can find inspiration;
when you tire, you can find new energy; when you wonder why, you can find inspiration.” – Louis Schmier

“As I see it, a short story is like a child’s kite – a small wonder, a brief, bright wonder.” – Sean O’Faolain
