In this week's Short Reads, Jeanette Mrozinski (@JeanetteMroz) finds hope in a very unlikely place, and maybe we all can, too.

for now, she is Margot until she presents her passport at the border, when she will become someone else, though only for a moment, because she has been, always will be, Margot

I've returned to this @ShortReadsOrg piece by Brenda Miller for three Passovers now, making it a yearly tradition of sorts. "Elijah" gives me a bit of everything--grief, faith, hope, and inspiration--and I am so grateful for it. 🙏💙

I had no idea when I wrote this piece, "Still," about the death of my beautiful son that it would live forever (or what seems like it). So now Eric and his big energy, his light, live on too. 🩷 Thanks so much to Short Reads for giving it another round.

"I’ve been trying to remind myself lately that we are all human: plumbers, street fighters, kidnapped princesses."

#FlashFriday Today we recommend, “Dig” by Lori McDole found on @ShortReadsOrg! The captivating imagery, bits of alliteration and urgency in this piece completely suck you into the narrator’s world. Definitely give it a read!! short-reads.org/dig/
