Major heat wave, once-in-a-lifetime cosmic conjunction, political protests and counter-protests, the B-52s at the Clark County Fair. It’s been a busy summer.
Got any tales to tell about all that — or anything else? Our “Everybody Has a Story” feature is where Columbian readers get to tell their own stories. In recent weeks we’ve played cards with our mortal World War I enemies, renewed old friendships in Ghana, tended 1950s tuberculosis patients and even got stranded overnight in remote northern Alaska.
But we still haven’t heard from you. “Everybody Has a Story” is eager to hear from Columbian readers with good tales to tell. Just remember the following guidelines:
• Your story must be true.
• It must be no more than 1,000 words. The shorter the better.
• Focus on your personal experience of an anecdote, event or thread. Squeezing your whole autobiography or family history into this limited space is going to be tough.
