This is an installment of our occasional series, “Storytellers” – short stories, essays, and poems from metro Atlantans.

In 2013, Buffalo Mountain United Methodist Camp — the camp that Shannon Turner describes in her story — was nearly devastated by a flash flood.

Thursday, January 22, Shannon will be hosting Stories at the Edge of Night this evening at Manuel’s Tavern, which will kick off this year’s Peach State Storytelling Festival
