Prophecy: & other stories

What makes a storyteller? I have always been a reader - books that were true preposterous funny serious scientific literary - whatever was on my grandparents shelves. From being very young I could enlarge on the truth. I didnt tell fibs just made the truth more interesting. For a very long time Ive eavesdropped: conversations on trains and buses overheard mobile phone conversations. One remark can give rise to an idea which can lead to a variety of destinations. But no Im sorry to disappoint: none of the characters depicted in this collection exist.
