"Freshman" - Anxious to get back to college, having to work the summer for his dad, will he learn who the smart people really are?

"Museum Day" – The herd of kids was axious to see the dinosaur bones at the museum, but their teacher was looking forward to renewing old memories.

"Road Trip" – Two college kids heading home on a break, take many detours as they stretch their wings and look for new things, and discover a quiet thing that surprises them.

These stories are intended to be fun - what's wrong with that? It's why I included several pictures with the stories, to spur the imagination and inspire.

Sometimes the picture comes first, inspiring the story, or at least a scene. Sometimes the story springs from a single idea - could ther be a detective so good he could solve crimes that haven't happened yet? Are machines too helpful?

And there's some serious stories too. What's it like leaving the small town you call home to go back to excitement of college?

Enjoy.
