A story for two

Each choose a short piece you want to share, then take turns reading aloud.

Settle somewhere comfortable where you can hear each other: the couch, a porch, a park, or a hammock. Each bring one or two short pieces, such as a story, poem, article, or personal writing. Take turns reading for about 5–15 minutes, and stop whenever something sparks a story, question, or memory. Finish by choosing one thing from your partner’s selections that you would like to hear, read, or talk about again.
