Dear all,

What is a "Story Club"'?

.

 

[Tomm]

It's a club for us story lovers, where we share stories. Are you interested ?

Sure. Does it include "tall stories"?

Welcome to the club.

Is this the sort of thing you mean or are you looking for something original? I don't know who wrote this - it just landed in my inbox one day and I liked it.

Giving Blood many years ago, when I worked as a transfusion volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a disease and needed blood from her five-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save Liza."

As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"

Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood.

Do you have a recommended maximum word length?

 

[brinny]

Can it be a testimony?

What are they specifically?
I am afraid testimony belongs to other sub-forums, like perhaps "Christian communities".

i'm thinkin' of Corrie Ten Boom's story of forgiveness, etc.

I really liked the movie "The Hiding Place". What a powerful and inspiring story!

[brinny]

Thank you ken, i found it powerful as well.

All members are encouraged to share stories you read from BOOKs, rather than from TV or movies, as this will encourage you to read more books.
