Personally, I really enjoy the short fiction featured in [The Sunlight Press](https://www.thesunlightpress.com/category/fiction/). The stories there are always a quick, uplifting read and that’s what I need. I don’t want anything dark or dense. I want something inspirational and this is where I can find it.
