'Tis the season to be jolly...
   Or nostalgic…
      Or dangerous...
         Or enchanted...

Enter into the spirit of the season, with five stories from the fertile imagination of Darragh Metzger inspired by all things Christmas:

Call of the Wild:  A woman and her horse encounter a runaway legend on a lonely mountain trail, and receive a gift from one wild heart to another.

And To All a Good Night:  It's Christmas Eve.  All is calm.  All is bright.  The Alien Commander has planned his invasion well, while Earth sleeps, unsuspecting, seduced by visions of sugarplums.  Little does he know that he and his crew face Earth's greatest secret weapon...

Long Distance:  On a snowbound Christmas Eve, a young woman receives a phone call from farther than she knows.

A Gift of Avalon:  A scientist's reverent celebration of her first Christmas on the newly terraformed planet of Avalon awakens ancient magic.

Merry Christmoose:  Armed with the best of the great poets of yore, an unusual suitor begs the help of a farmer in the pursuit of his true love.
