A HOLIDAY STORYWe'd put out a nice book: Alternative Holidays. It had a fancy cover. The stories a perfect fit. So I was sitting there. Basking in success. And a story skitters across the floor. And then another, and another... And then, a slight sobbing sound. Then there came a most tremulous voice. "We want a book cover too." I reached down and picked up one of the stories. It settled in and started to purr. Then I picked up another, and another. They were so good. It was like the Island of Misfit Toys. Perfectly good stories that just had trouble fitting in. So I gave them a cover, nothing fancy. And now, they just need a Reader to appreciate them. YOU, can be that Reader.
