What began as a writing challenge... resulted in Second Chapters
Summer 2019, we accepted a writing challenge launched by one of our members. The proposal was to write two short stories, based on themes chosen by the group.
The theme for July was Mulligan: a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. Second Chapters is the result of that July writing challenge and we're excited to share it with you!
"Second Chapters" is the creative result of six brains let loose with one topic. The outcome is a collection of thriller, fantasy, and life stories that will take you on unforgettable journeys, all relating tales of second chances, and each ending in an unexpected destination.
The White by Barbara J. Glover - When a victim of domestic abuse decides to take control of her situation, she finds that it can be difficult to stop. How far will she go to bring balance to her life?
Greenbrier Heights by M. M. MacLellan - A stately manor houses more than just the people who live there. The secrets the old home has witnessed may be even greater than the structure itself.
Savage Relic by Daniel McMillan - A deadly assassin is robbed of his memory and becomes a gentler version of his former self. But when his past catches up with him, what qualities will he retain to protect what he's built?
Liorah by Jamie Stouffer - An inexperienced fairy is assigned to a tough case on the do-over team. How many chances does one person need before they find contentment?
The Intruder by Renee Cronley - A tortured soul lurks in a place it shouldn't be. But all is not what it seems when things go bump on this particular night.
Eight Days of Spring by Bonnie Nissen - An elderly couple, set on transforming a community park, is assigned to supervise a troubled young man. What can this unlikely pairing possibly accomplish in eight days?
