Fiction Monday – 292 Welcome to the two hundred and ninety second edition of Fiction Monday. “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.

TW: Mention of suicidality and self-harm Last week social media channels were full of reminders to talk about mental health. Ours included. But our final "don't forget" is the most important of all. Don’t forget that EVERY day is #TimeToTalkDay www.gumonmyshoe.com/2026/02/dont... #MondayBlogs

“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.” —William Arthur Ward #quotes #fictionmonday
