Genre: Fairy Tale   Excerpt:\u201cWhen I was young, my mother told me a story about the rain. I was afraid of it, you see. And what she told me didn\u2019t help much with that.\u201d He winked an eye at me. \u201cMy mother was quick to embrace and kiss her children, but she wasn\u2019t one to coddle or lie to us.\u201d I found myself leaning forward. \u201cWhat did she say?\u201d \u201cThere are great beings who live in the sky. When enough of these beings weep, their tears fall to the earth as rain.\u201d   The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is \u201cTurn Again.\u201d One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them.

Silhouette of a hooded figure seen from the back and from waist up, standing in front of a large window with twelve panes. Two glowing translucent wings, delicate like a fly\u2019s, emerge from the figure\u2019s back, directed downward. The window is framed with dark fuzzy curtains. Outside, gray clouds loom overhead. A few spots of light and hazy shapes are visible past a haze of rain, falling at an angle. A few drops and trickles of water appear on the window glass. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d near bottom between the figure\u2019s wings. ","author_name":"Storyfeather","author_url":"http:\/\/storyfeather.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
