Door of the Year and a Ferryman's Tale
A nostalgic holiday meditation blends prayers and dreams with a frontier ferry tale. A Missouri man, driven by guilt, shelters a stranger in a canyon hut as a deadly massacre echoes from the past. The ferryman recounts loss, vengeance, a lost love, and his daughter Teelie, buried with a grave-marker Blood for Blood.

American Fables The Wounded Ox and Helpers
An Ox on a highway breaks his leg and receives varying reactions from animals. The Horse and Mule express sympathy, the Hog recounts past misfortunes, the Goat mocks, and the Rhino offers practical aid. The tale ends with a moral: sympathy fades when not backed by action, and true help comes from reliable aid rather than words.
