Much can be said in 100 words.
This idea along with the observation that everyone is emerging from a challenging year and welcoming the future led the Eugene O Neill Foundation to launch a storytelling campaign dubbed Tiny Horizon Stories as part of this year s Eugene O Neill Festival.
People are urged to write, in 100 words or less, about what possibilities and dreams await just beyond the horizon, with any theme that inspires them. Submit stories at www.eugeneoneill.org.
The storytelling ties in with the O Neill play, Beyond the Horizon, which is this year s production for the festival in September. The play is about young Robert Mayo yearning to reach beyond life on the family farm, and it touches on the universal human desire to imagine a better life.
