Book Excerpt

The Imagination Stone

Tom had been surprised before and the customary involuntary sharp inhale had been a part of that surprise then, as it was now. Although he had felt the cool air penetrate his lungs, he had never felt it go into his lungs and down to his feet before. He threw his head back and he suddenly noticed the droplets of water that were suspended in the air above and around him. Each small droplet shone with color, each one a different color. He raised his arms a little above his shoulders and spun around. He watched as the droplets swirled and the colors mixed, wrapping around each arm, passing his eyes and tickling the skin on his face, the back of his hands and his neck.
