Ordinary Secrets – Hidden Falls – Episode One

This is a new idea that’s being distributed by Barbour Publishing. Shiloh Run Studios is a line of short fiction pieces for a continuous story. I read the first episode for Hidden Falls and the story reminded me of a TV show – even reminded me of a soap opera a little bit since there were so many characters and storylines. In episode one, the story focuses on a reunion for current and former students – former students spanning 30 years of time – for high school teacher Quinn.

Many people come from out of town to see Quinn, their former teacher, honored. You get a glimpse of what these former students have been doing for the last few decades, and you also see the drama – including romances and problems – being faced by the current residents of Hidden Falls.

This story was so short that you could read it in one sitting. I read most of the story during my son’s soccer practice. I thought the story idea was unique – I’d never heard of having a reunion, inviting former townspeople, to honor a teacher. The story ended with a cliffhanger, too.
