Hello everyone,

Welcome to frosty mornings and darker days…and don’t forget to put your clocks back one hour tonight. We have some interesting contributions this week…beginning with a non-fiction, historical account of the infamous Guy Fawkes and his attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament. This is one of the few stories that I have left to share from our dear friend Mike Crompton, who is no longer with us. The story is titled “November 5th.”.

Then a beautiful and delicate poem from Angela van Breemen, simply titled “Autumn”, followed by a story from me about different superstitions and where and when they possibly originated. This is titled “Superstitions”.

I hope you enjoy these offerings and don’t forget to send you comments for the authors.

If you have a holiday story to share or a six-word story, please send it to me at brendashort@writingblog.ca for a chance to be published.
