Story of the Week #5 — “A Sunday Brunch in Amber” by Kelly Ann Kiehl
I want to apologize to my readers for the long absence. A summer malaise seems to have latched onto me and is only gradually starting to abate. I keep telling myself that it’s because I needed a break after school let out, but a tiny voice in the back of…
