A Handful of Sparks: Five Superhero and Sci-Fi Stories
In these five short stories, ordinary and extraordinary humans (and one alien) must find the spark to move forward-out of bad situations, or in the face of catastrophic change.
In "Ilene's Box," an otherworldly visitor goes on a deeply personal, high-stakes mission...to a local pet store.
In "Lifeblood," a hospitalized woman with an unusual gift faces hard decisions about love and sacrifice.
In "That Which Kills You," superhero tropes meet their match in Cherie, a woman too stubborn to lay down and die.
In "Clear as Light," Mac and Evan's blissful space station retirement takes a frightening, inexplicable turn.
In "Ellen Double Prime," wealthy teenager Ellen Wright finds herself trapped in a nightmarish alternate reality.
Some contemporary or near-future science fiction, some super-powered...all deeply, intimately human.
(Yes, even the parts with aliens.)
