Each month we have a theme or a prompt for our story swap. This month we invite the tellers to include the following sentenence in their story. - Either “You can smell it” or “You could smell it”.

The short 6-minute stories could be folktales, historical narratives, personal stories or new stories from the imagination.

So join us and be entertained by stories drawn from the rich tapestry of folktales that have been passed down through generations. Picture the aroma of ancient woods as you hear a tale of mystical creatures in deep forests, or the scent of spices that accompany a narrative from distant lands where magic and adventure unfold.

History can come to life as you catch the whiff of ink and parchment, transporting you to pivotal moments in time, and personal stories of memories of childhood aromas of the home, people, events and places will invite us to reflect on our own memories.

The story does not have to be about smells but must include a smell and use the prompt sentence.

This is a free online event organised by the Australian Storytelling Guild (NSW) Come as a listener or teller. All welcome.
