Dear Mom. Top Story - March 2024.
Dear Mom (An open letter to my 1950’s mother) By: De Etta Miller Dear Mom, I’m not sure if this letter is for you or for me. But decades after your leaving, I feel the need to say: “I’m sorry.” I don’t know that I even believe in Heaven. I can only assume, that which was taught throughout my childhood might have some validity. Perhaps we all find the truth of our afterlife when it is indeed time for an afterlife. But what I do know and believe in, is how hard and yet delightful motherhood can be.

Tonight At Ten
Tonight At Ten Bring the Corkscrew By: DeEtta Miller Our dream cabin was supposed to be a new beginning. Laced with quiet moments under stars, toasting our escape from humanity.

With Just A Touch. Runner-Up in Return of the Night Owl Challenge.
I have about an hour before they pull the switch on what was once a very ingenious and lucrative career. My name is Barnard Oliver, or Barn Owliver, a moniker courtesy of the town’s youth who would come to me for advice. They said I “had an answer for everything.” That I was as wise as an owl. A persona I encouraged, to abate my deep loneliness living with an enigma of a father.
