Hello everyone,

This week we begin the third version of the story chain, titled Deep Freeze. The three stories are all based on the same sentence, “The inspector let slip that the body was well preserved, but missing an appendage, which had been cruelly severed while they were still alive.” I hope you have been following. If you missed any of the chapters, they are published in the archives, under ‘story chains’ The other contribution this week is a poem from me, titled Let’s Get a Pet, a conversational poem between two people. Meantime, I am holding the first and last page for the winners of the writing competition, hoping that the results come through this week.

I’m looking for stories about Canada and USA for the upcoming celebrations in July. If you have a story or poem that you would like to share, please send it to me at brendashort@writingblog.ca
