No Extra Words one person's search for story

Storytelling is one of those things that makes us human. It takes many forms in many places and times but the need to record our story, to preserve the memory that we were here, and to hear the stories of others, this is universal. I'm a writer, a librarian, a mom, and a person in this world in search of how we tell our stories and how we hear the stories of others. Season 1: Flash Fiction. The sharing of minimalist literature, saying much with few words. May 2015-January 2018. Season 2: Book Pairings. One reader's journey, two books at a time. Starts February 2, 2018.

Starting with one of the oldest forms of storytelling...the annoying camp song!

Today's campfire theme is "What Summer Camp Means to Me."  Thank you to our marvelous listeners and friends for sharing their thoughts.

In "A Not-so-Ghostly Ghost Story" by Kris Baker Dersch, the looming specter of a mysterious shape in the woods is terrifying, but not what it seems.
