We're thinking of carousels and candyfloss this evening. Oh, to be at a fair. Oh, to get tempted by the lights, the noise, the food only to forget your name and living there forever. Bliss. For another fair... "Evening at the County Fair" by Laura M Puhl https://t.co/V9uOqWNGYS

Outside, we can hear the sounds of trees being felled. There isn't a tree for miles, but we hear it still. We are disconcerted. We're going to read today's poem and avoid thinking about it. "After the before, we take care of the wounds" by @indeskidge

Something is chiming in the tower this evening. We've looked everywhere but we still can't find it. What we can find is today's short story... "The Last and First Loves of Hayrum Bellmaker" by Rick Hollon https://t.co/XgDWDf9N0r

You might not have noticed, but the tower isn't just made of stone. Look closely and you'll find a bit of everything cobbled together. Not unlike the subject of today's flash fiction... "Patchwork Boy" by J.S. Brevik https://t.co/8EeOl72nYw
