Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry

Cead FáilteWelcome back to another episode of Crann na beatha Short Stories and PoetryI am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your village scéalaí, returning again this week with more stories and poems from authors around the world.I have three stories and a poem for you this week. The second story is a bit lengthy but worth your patience. First up is a short romantic horror story about the effects of utter loneliness. The second is a fictional coming of age story, the third is a dystopian story of a failed world and last, a poem written in tribute to Gaza and the Palestinians.So gather round once more and let me read to you under the shade of the crann na beatha, the tree of life. Click play above to listen to this week’s episode.I have come to the conclusion that not many people read these newsletters so I will keep them short from now on.I have a variety of stories for you and a poem at the end that is dedicated to all of the dead Palestinians of Gaza. I also added my own dedication at the end of the poem.My third and last story is also an activist type of story about a dying world and the anger that is misplaced due to misinformation. There is a lesson for us all in this story.The first two are more for entertainment but I guess there could be a lesson learned from the first story as well. I will let the audience decide that one.Here are the links to this week’s stories and poem.When the Wave ComesA coming-of-age story from another world.Richard DeeDestroyersThe truth will inherit the earthZivah AvrahamWhen The Ravens DropFarida HaqueThis is all I have for you this week.  Go raibh maith agat.
