Captain Eli’s Best Ear

"Captain Eli's Best Ear" is a Christmas short story set in the quiet seaside village of Sponkannis, where retired mariner Captain Eli Bunker hatches a plan to celebrate the holiday for the first time in years. Enlisting his crusty neighbor Captain Cephas and the capable widow Mrs. Trimmer to provide a little orphaned girl with a proper Christmas tree and stocking, Captain Eli finds his careful arrangements upended when a stranger rescued from a foggy shoal in the night arrives at his door — and threatens to shatter everything he has quietly hoped for.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
