It was a Bright and Sunny Day
|
|
|
A lot can happen on a bright and sunny day: a student writes a story; time flies by an old man sitting outside his home; a teacher
gets hooked into playing a computer game; The FBI is on the trail of a serial killer; A man tried to avoid making the same
mistakes that he did in his first marriage; a teacher meets a man who knows a bit more than she does about the Elizabethan era;
the animals of the forest teach owl a lesson; a man investigates a meteorite; an elderly couple prepare for their great-grandson's
visit; there's a New World Order following the philosophy of Margaret Thatcher; and someone has changed all the King's horses into
ducks.
With poetry by: John Hayes, Guy Belleranti, Matthew Byer, Amanda C. Davis, Marge Simon, Lauren McBride, Darrell Lindsey, and Michelle Mead.
Contributors: Guy Belleranti, Matthew Byer, Lisa Clark, Laurie Dalzell, Amanda C. Davis, Jason Flum, John Hayes, B. M. Kezar,
