First Snow
from Montana Voice · host Steve Saroff
After submitting “First Snow,” to Bull, a literary journal which publishes unique stories I often like, I received this, one of the best acceptance letters: "Man, there were so many reasons I wanted to reject this: ... Usually not a big fan of stories about kids--especially not happy kids... not quite the vibe I'm usually looking for... But this is so fucking beautiful and poetic without trying to sound pretty. The imagery feels like a short film that wins an Oscar. And the ending completely nailed it for me. Anyway, after I said all that, if you're still interested, I'd love to publish this here.
