Nancy, I could have highlighted this entire piece, so I opted for your last line. I am honoured to be a part of Fiction Shorts and look forward to more challenges, stories, and continued connection. I came from a life surrounded by many negative people to a world of inspiring and loving writers who make my day bright. Hopefully, I do the same for others.

Thank you, Nancy, and to all the editors who work so hard to create something so magnificent. Happy New Year!
