The Sparkler - current enhances?

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

Thanks @elvet for all the work, and authors for the mystery stories.

I really liked:
Crossing the Ocean in Words - A story is all about its reader.
Appreciation of now - I liked the unseen magical force urging life to continue.
Must I face this now - The future is not like I remembered.

Ended up voting for
Myths - Ironically some older folk I met reckon Electricity (and TV ...don't even mention the net killed storytelling.
Batteries Not Included - The traditional/ quadrennial? Star Wars spoof that never disappoints.
