The Little Dancer: A bittersweet short story

By Richard Spellacy

Fourteen-year-old Milly Simper had the world at her feet, literally. Being dance captain for the Christmas show was an honour usually bestowed on older students, but Milly's talent and work ethic had been recognised, and she responded with heart and gusto. Then tragedy struck, leaving her parents George and Beatrice to make sense of a world they had never anticipated. Striving to cope with their loss, George's actions were called into question but just when he feared all was lost, something quite remarkable happened. Magic, it seems, occurs in the most unlikely of places.

Taken from the author's forthcoming book of short stories - Tales of Hope and Human Kindness, due late 2025.
