By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 11, 2023 / 2,535 views

It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dingy from so many winters wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She is such a sweet, loving soul that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me...

I had spent some time in the morning talking to my granddaughter about being 'generous' she had a lot of chocolate and lollies from going to the local show and buying sample bags.

I work in a small but busy emergency department and, as every year, winter is picking up and our workload is very high. Anyway the last few days we’ve been finding very tiny ducks with numbers written on them all over the department. Suspecting a mischievous colleague, the paramedics or the police, but I love that someone did this to put a smile on our face when we find a tiny...

It was a Summer afternoon a long time ago. I was a little boy watching my favorite rerun on our tiny little television set. All that was about to change, however. CRACK! BOOM! the lightening and thunder sounded. Suddenly my Mom ran into the living room, unhooked the antenna wire and dropped the metal claws into a glass mason jar by the TV. I started to complain but knew better. Mom wasn’t going to risk...

I was eighteen years old. I had borrowed my Mom’s beat-up, blue Pontiac for the day. I was driving 12 miles to the county newspaper office. I had on the seat beside me a short one page story I had written and I hoped to get it published that day. I was excited, nervous, and a little scared. What if the publisher didn’t want it? When I arrived I parked across the road and knocked on the...

Whilst deciding what else they could get with their remaining tickets, they overheard two young girls say they didn't...
