In the space of an evening, he was chivvied by a paranoid terrier, inveigled by a sneaky cat, and menaced by a jealous – no doubt, class-mongering – opossum. Despite these dealings, he now extended the tissue paper branch toward the frightened, struggling beetle in the toilet bowl. Saving him from drowning, he thought (like a benevolent God) how pleased the beetle’s family and friends would be to see him home, shaken, but grateful for the bug-like empathy of the much-misunderstood Man.

DreamForge is a volunteer effort supported by Dreamers like you. Every small donation helps us to buy hopeful stories and help new authors learn how to bring hope into this crazy world.
Hope is not an illusion; it's a perspective backed by engagement with the world, whatever the condition of the world may be. Like the crew of the Enterprise, we don't expect everyone to share our values, only that we will engage them with ours, and in the course of doing so, possibly, just possibly, win a better future.
Thank you for your support!
