A Christmas Eve in the Far South Seas

from Ririro.com - Short Stories · host Ririro

"A Christmas Eve in the Far South Seas" transports readers to a remote Pacific lagoon in 1880, where British, German, and American traders set aside bitter commercial rivalries to celebrate Christmas together. Narrator Tom Denison, Scotsman Donald MacBride and his Palauan wife Sera, portly Ludwig Wolfen, and the two American traders Tom Devine and Charley de Buis share haggis disasters, accordion music, a half-finished Christmas cake, and a quietly devastating midnight toast that turns camaraderie into something closer to grief.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
