“Forgetting” by Lucy A. Snyder has been the ultimate Story of the Month for me. I read it several years ago either as a link from her web site or a story on her site. It’s the melancholy tone that’s stayed with me. The story has five characters – daughter, mom, dad, dog and chicken. It’s amazing what the love of a child can do in this little tale.
The story is no longer available online because it was included in Sparks and Shadows, a collection of her poetry and short stories. And you have the opportunity to win your own copy! A sticky post later today will have the details.
Amber, I’m glad you enjoyed that one. It seems to have resonated with quite a few people who enjoy quiet horror.
