WINTERSONG by Geoffrey Allison || SIXSTRINGcpa

Click link above to find the story at Issuu.com (where I host free to read content). I apologize for sending readers to another site but Issuu.com platform helps me to prevent unwanted—and illegal—theft of my written creations.

If I blaspheme, may I do so beautifully...from a place of good intention. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas

WINTERSONG is the December 2019 Rock-n-Roll Read story. The story is inspired by Rob Halford's cover version of Winter Song, the original written by Sara Bareilles/Ingrid Michaelson. Through the story I also honor Ursula K. Le Guin. 'Winter' is the name for her fictitious planet of Gethen. The Gethenians are androgynes.

Notes for Readers (return here after reading, if you want -- these notes might ease comprehension for the occasional reader)
Grenewe is one of my worlds. It is a Pangaean type world. GRENEWE is an anagram of Wegener. Alfred Wegener, scientist originating continental drift theory. I searched for a word to use as the root for parent in my fictitious Grenewe. As much as it is a sensory function, listening is a powerful trait. In the Vietnamese language Tai means ear. 

If you read the story and would like to show your gratitude and appreciation by way of a financial gesture (which would be appreciated as writing is, after all, how I make my living), you can tip Geoffrey || SIXSTRINGcpa at this Paypal.me account. You can learn more about the Supporter program here.

THANK YOU to Rob Halford, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson and Ursula K. Le Guin. Rob, you will never know how much hearing your voice sing these words meant to me while temporarily living in Berlin, during times I felt adrift, an outcast—and alone as a result.

Since I decided to make this story temporarily public. You will be receiving a second December story later this month in recognition of your supportive efforts. Again, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
