Free Short Story: One Snowy Night

Eight year old Dami wants to keep her younger brother, Paxton, safe.

But sometimes her mum makes that hard.

As she watches the snow fall one night she wonders if things will change.

And in a brief unworldly moment, she sees a chance to make things different.

A story about the power of courage and love.

When Lamar sees an old man struggling to carry his groceries, he watches from a distance.

A safe distance.

A former foster kid used to being feared, discarded or used, he approaches people with caution. If he approaches them at all.

But, in the spirit of the holidays, he makes a decision to take an action that won’t only change the old man’s life but also his own.

I’ve included some fun rewards for both readers and writers.

I hope you’ll check it out (even if only to look at the video).
