Welcome to Crann na Beatha Short Stories and Poetry for Dec, 1st, 2023
Come in and sit down by the fire. Make yourself at home. Have a cup of something warm while I weave you some stories and poetry from Medium this evening.
I have seven short stories and poems for you this week. A couple of fantasy and science fiction stories, a couple of poems and Robert G. Longpré’s second chapter from his new book.
I truly enjoy reading stories and poems, especially during the colder months. There is nothing better than sitting somewhere warm and listening to good stories and poems for a few minutes to take your mind off your troubles for a wee bit.
This once a week podcast is available to listen to in nearly every podcast platform out there. And now on YouTube. I found out this week, that the Spotify version of this podcast has become very popular in Malaysia of all places.
Subscriptions are free but I do have a donations tab on the rss.com webpage found in the link with the newsletter, and on my website at www.crann-na-beatha.com. Of course, you can always become a paid subscriber here as well. Just sayin’. I appreciate any support for my efforts to bring these stories and poems to you.
Disclosure for everyone; In order to read the complete stories and poems, you will need to sign up for a subscription in Medium, although I am thinking about this new Medium extra called Friends of Medium. It allows the author to set up a link that can be shared with everyone. If I see one on any story, I will share it with you.
And here are this weeks stories and poems from really great writers. I added sound effects to all of the stories so, if you want to hear these with the added enhancements, click the link above.

Until next time. Sláinte

I hope I have achieved my goal in helping you feel like we’ve been sitting next to the hearth fire as I entertained you today. As a Seanchaí, I want to continue to delight you with a story or a poem that may bring you a smile or make you think a little after we part for the day.
As I say good bye this week, I wish to leave you with this Irish blessing as you go about your day. “Bless you and yours, as well as the cottage you live in. May the roof overhead be well thatched, and those inside be well matched.” Slán go fóill — which means goodbye for now in Irish.
