For all of my years on E2 I have wanted to contribute a Christmas carol. All feeling in tiny words.
I started a story in early November,and I finished a second (or fifth, can't remember) draft recently. I tried to post it as a writeup here on my beloved E2, but alas, it's too long and gets truncated. Yes, a longish story. About 13,000 words.
Because it doesn't fit here on E2, I have posted it on my own website at:

It's called The Internet Christmas Project and it's about what a holiday like Christmas might mean to someone like me in a world full of wars and bad luck.
I tried to make a fish ride a bike in it, but I had to take it out.
I hope you like it. It comes from my imagination, which means you might find it less realistic than you'd like. I like to think most imagination is hopeful. It's what I would like to see happen one day.
I actually think it can.
Love
