Here’s a new story on Defiant Scribe just in time for Christmas. Thanks to the editors for their introduction.
“Christmas Ghosts by Greg Roensch imagines the ghosts of Christmas past not as literal, Dickensian figures but rather the ghosts that lurk in our memories. A series of short paragraphs tell two very different tales: one of the protagonist’s current, bleak Christmas and one of the wondrous Christmas of yesteryear. Heartbreaking and haunting, this work of flash fiction paints a stunning portrait in very few words.”
