Don't Fence Me In

by Marianne Arkins

 

"...tugs at the heartstrings of anyone who has known someone in the service. Well researched, the setting is a sign of the times in the early 1950’s...a good solid short story well worth reading.

 Festival of Stars

festival of stars by Eilis Flynn

They are meant for each other, but they only have one chance a year to find each other. Have you heard of the ancient Japanese legend of Tanabata? Gaze up at the evening sky, and if you're lucky, you'll see the Weaver Princess and the Cowherder meeting after spending an entire year apart. They are reunited once more on the wings of their helpers, the star ravens. Hope for good weather, because if rain or fog prevents them from finding each other, the star lovers must wait another year. 
 
The lovers look for each other in every generation. This time, Kristin Olafsson and Dare Borodin must struggle against the protestations of their families, their loved ones and even themselves to reach each other. 
 
Sometimes when the stars shift in the sky, the lovers are a little farther apart, and they struggle to reach each other. And reach each other they must, for unless they do so, eventually, the stars will move away from each other, never to meet again.   And so each year, they must try.
