Story Contest: Wall Talk
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2025
“If these walls could talk!” is a saying suggesting a place might have been the setting of some interesting events. What secrets might it hold? For this issue’s contest, write a story from the point of view of a home. What does it have to say about the people or beings who live or lived there? What moments has it witnessed that it can’t wait to share? Send us your story—at a length of no more than 350 words, please—and give those walls a chance to speak!
