Hey, fabulous people! I’m back with another collection of Medium stories that I heartily recommend. As usual, it is a varied collection. I love variety. In music, in writing, in food, in almost everything good. I am not so fond of my variety of old-man aches and pains, but I have no intention of boring you with reports of those.

So, without any further rambling (which isn’t easy, I love to ramble), here are some stories I enjoyed reading on Medium recently. I like to keep the list to around a dozen, like a box of tasty donuts. Enjoy!

Tiny Flames by Sarah Lofgren

Sarah Lofgren may be known for her humorous stories, but she is adept at serious fiction also. In this tale, Sarah writes a poignant period piece set in Hans Christian Anderson’s hometown shortly after The Little Match Girl’s release. Incorporating elements from The Little Match Girl and a character reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge, Sarah reimagines them and creates something new and haunting.
