“A Legacy of Questions” by Dr. Jael Zebulun

Submitted to Contest #255

How can I think about romance now? Because, like it or not, I have to. ***Though we have wept and grieved together, my father can’t possibly share my level of loss because he isn’t truly empty. Not that he didn’t love my mother—he did. He had a great passion and love for her. But, in the long run, he was always closer to The One, The One he always talks about, The One who visits from time to time and gives him all those visions. As for Dad, he valued his own life above Mama’s more than a few times and risked her being taken to another man’s ...

“The Find” by Dr. Jael Zebulun

Submitted to Contest #251

We were moving to a two-bedroom house with one-and-a-half acres in the country which I had inherited from my grandmother. Besides being excited for the change, it brought back memories of Grandma Elsie. I remembered her taking care of me while my mother was working when I was young. She told me forbidden stories from times past, stories which had now been erased.  My mom hadn’t made her take the mandated prescription which would have disabled her from remembering them, because she needed grandma to babysit me and my younger br...
