Novels aren’t the only place where written treasures are hidden in the narrative. Some are revealed in the chapters of a novella, the paragraphs of a short story, or the flow of a poem. My walking buddies and I decided to make a range of written material available to other hikers who frequent the Buffalo Creek Preserve and Trail. Tommy Doonan is a frequent contributor to Trail Tales. In “Snow Sledding the Mount” Tommy recalls a childhood memory that resonates during the COVID virus restrictions, recalling a different time, another season, and life before social distancing.
His short stories "A Quest for Love" and "Waiting Room Frenzy" are featured in the HTN Recommended readings tab.
