#28: The Cru Write Chekhov: Abide With Me

This week the Cru discuss the Russian master of short fiction, Anton Chekhov.  From dancing rivalries to the shadows of war, our stories abide by no laws as imagination flies and flourishes in homage to a man who is truly the greatest of all time.  Be sure to keep an eye on our social media accounts for a writing challenge! The prompt drops 3/25/22. From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Abide with Me. A hymn by Henry Francis Lyte, probably written in 1847, which has been sung at FA cup finals since 1927.  Earlier it was parodied by soldiers in the First World War, one common version being: We've had no beer, we've had no beer today. Stories begin around the 14:30 mark.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
