Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #16. "The Question"

Northern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #16. "The Question" by Sharon Boerbon Hanson

At a workshop earlier this year, Sharon hit the nail on the head with the trouble I was having with one of my novels. Everyone else had gotten me on a plot hole, but Sharon's eye caught the heart of the matter, and she asked me a simple question that helped bring what I needed to do to make the story stronger into focus. That is a rare talent.

"The Question" is a quiet little bit of fantasy/magical realism with a devastating ending. The story sneaks up on you with its question, and hammers you with the bitter answer. It feels so light, yet underneath is so heartbreaking.
