A thousand welcomes to Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry for March 22nd, 2024
I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your Irish scéalaí with more stories and poems from Medium writers.
This week, I have five short stories and a poem. The first is chapter eight of the ongoing story From Beyond the Water Wall, chapter seventeen, the last chapter of the Sanctuary story, part two of a science fiction story I read last week from H.R. Parker, a new science fiction story from David Pahor, an old tale from Europe by Ulf Wolf and a wonderful poem that may trigger a fond memory from Connie Walkup Hull.
So gather round and let me read to you for a bit. I will add in my commercial break after the first two stories today. I hope you will listen to it and consider a donation. Any amount is fine. I use Paypal for your safety as it allows you to donate without giving up any personal information and you can use any currency around the world. It goes to support all that I give to bring these stories and poems to the world.
For those who don’t wish to listen to the podcast you may travel to my website at www.crann-na-beatha.com to see what I am all about. I have several web pages available to look through with free options to listen to the podcasts, read these newsletters in the blog or, if you are so inclined, donate to my efforts or buy a book. I offer a full service website for anyone who feels adventurous or curious.
Now for this weeks podcast. Just a reminder, this podcast is broadcast around the world via YouTube, and podcast apps like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, InTunes, and several others. So no matter where you live on this planet, this podcast is available, even in Russia.
Here are the links to this weeks stories and poem. I hope you enjoy. If you read any of these, please let the authors know by clapping and replying as you see fit to let them know how much you appreciate their work. I know they would appreciate the attention.

As a Seanchaí, I want to continue to delight you with a story or a poem that may bring you a smile or make you think a little after we part for the day.
As I say good bye this week, I wish to leave you with this Irish blessing as you go about your day. “Long-life and fair health to you — Saol fada agus breac-sláinte chugat.” “Slán go fóill — goodbye for now”.
