On my way to pick up my car from the mechanic this morning, I took a shortcut through a patch of woods. Just off the trail, I saw this:

There’s a story here …
What does this scene evoke in your imagination?
You can use this information or not: In the grass a few feet from the swing was a small bag with its contents spilling out. Things a woman might carry with her and use.
Write your story in no more than 500 words and send it to me: debrakornfield@gmail.com. Deadline: April 30, 2026.
I’ll choose one story for ButGod.blog and one for HorseThief1898.blog. Prizes for the stories chosen:
- free publicity (If you win, I’ll ask what you want people to know about you and your work.)
- your choice of one of my books. (If you win, I’ll ask for your address so I can mail your book to you.)
Happy imagining! An extra point if you make it a But God story!
