When Imaginations Spark

A brain at rest, random thoughts flickering through its hinterlands, nothing registering, nothing sticking. Then FLASH! A tiny spark in the darkness that begins to burn, growing with every nanosecond, swelling ever larger, impossible to ignore, impossible to push away. It pulls in on itself, condensing, forming, solidifying... A story in its infancy, trying to gather what it needs to survive. Drawing sustenance from the Imagination of the Author. Trying to mature. Trying to become a complete entity. Seeking the light of day, to make its way into the human world. Finding and delighting other imaginations is the goal. To make tingle the fancy of others. To pull minds out of the here and now and send them down the many paths of Elsewhere. Open your mind and allow the stories in this anthology to grab your imagination. Receive the sparks that started them. Receive the thrills, excitement, wonder, and triumph of them. Become one with each of them. Or, just read them one by one and marvel at their power. It's your choice.
