Never Another Winter

"Never Another Winter" follows the last minutes of an old man's life as he remembers the good times and prepares to join his long departed wife in the hereafter.
I entered this short story in a contest sponsored by Quarter Castle Publishing, a small Nova Scotia publisher.  My story didn't win any prizes but was selected along with nine others as stories that 'captured the interest' of the judges.  The three prize winners plus the ten honourable mentions will appear in September in the first Quarter Castle Chronicles.
The thirteen stories in this anthology will include three written by members of the Evergreen Writers Group of Halifax.  The contest attracted entries from all across Canada (and perhaps beyond), so not bad going for our little writing group.
