We invite you to respond to the story invitation that closes this chapter. With your permission, these little stories will be posted on the website for 30 days after our receiving them. Depending on the volume of response, we cannot guarantee all submissions will be immediately posted, but it is our intent to share many different voices responding to the same question.

You have a contribution limit of 200 words in this dialogue box.

Tending the story is a privilege bestowed on Storycatchers by their willingness to receive, report, and protect the world's stories. Storycatchers become the librarians, taking care of the stories that are already there, adding stories to the shelves, and ensuring that the stories remain available for the future.

What is the story you're tending, the one you'll never let be put out?
Let's start there.
Tell me that story.

Insert your story here...and please remember there is a 1500 character (approximately 200 word) limit. Thank you.
