A Fragile Light by Eliot Moore

[Merkin]

Christmas is often a hard holiday for persons who are feeling lost, abandoned, or bereft.  It is difficult to discover the hope that the season offers, even harder to reach out and grasp that possibility.  Sometimes it becomes our responsibility, as writers, to examine that possibility and offer it up framed in such a way that, just perhaps, our version may touch the heart and mind of someone who is adrift.

We may all have examples to cite of stories that work this magic.   One of those stories, in my opinion, is Eliot Moore’s “A Fragile Light”: http://m.dabeagle.com/stories/eliotmoore/afl/afl.htm
