This is an installment of our occasional series, “Storytellers” – short stories, essays, and poems from metro Atlantans.
WABE Storytellers: Shannon Turner
In this installment, we have a story of love. Sometimes, romantic dreams serve us well. But sometimes, we need to leave them behind in order to move on with life. Storyteller Shannon Turner picks it up from there.
In 2013, Buffalo Mountain United Methodist Camp — the camp that Shannon Turner describes in her story — was nearly devastated by a flash flood.
Thursday, January 22, Shannon will be hosting Stories at the Edge of Night this evening at Manuel’s Tavern, which will kick off this year’s Peach State Storytelling Festival.
This story was originally broadcast September 19, 2012
