Another great share today, from Sue Vincent’s Daily Echo: Sarah Brentyn stops by with a short story probably more familiar to most of us than we’d like to admit. Enjoy!
Okay, so I’m really looking forward to Christmas…as long as the antlers stay out of sight and as long as my mate Tink’s mum hasn’t given her any other awful ideas…. But not everyone enjoys the festive season, I’m told. There are lots of folk who are alone… and they don’t all get a happy ending like Sally’s Jack.
And some folks might wish they were alone, or at least not in those unhappy places they find themselves.

Not weird at all, Sarah. I think it works so well because many of us totally recongise the situation having been there in one way or another – and love how it ends.

Ah, well… I think it is something many of us can relate to in some way though it may not be a feel-good holiday tale. Anyway, I thought it might go somewhere…unpleasant (murder by Merlot?) but was happy with the ending. So glad it worked for you.

My pleasure, Sarah. I really enjoyed this one, and not just because of what Prince Charming did . . . it was HOW he did it that I really liked. Smooth moves! They never knew what hit ’em! 😀
