During December, the Great River Regional Library celebrates Short Story Writing Month (ShoStoWriMo). Teens and adults could enter their unique stories about this historical image from the Stearns History Museum. We asked writers to compose their stories in only 33 words (since we have 33 locations), making it a real short-story challenge.
Thank you to all who participated and enjoyed the challenge.
Here are the story submissions for you to read and enjoy:
-
"The crowd cheered their team on as if by their voices alone they could win the game. "Fight! Win! Go!" went the cheers and they landed home. The team won the game." - Ana, home library: Paynesville
-
"The Majorettes waited their turn to be on stage. As they watched the play, the unthinkable happened. The Wise man tripped and sent Baby Jesus flying into the audience. Merry Christmas to you." - Rosemary; home library: Big Lake
-
"No! After years of struggle, to have our freedom, our autonomy, our respect ripped away so quickly is devastating. “This present moment used to be the unimaginable future.” Roe v. Wade is overturned." - LuAnn, home library: Little Falls
