Where it starts.

Every story starts with an idea. Some spark that's lights up enough of a picture for you to work with. Occasionally the spark fades out too quickly for something real to take hold of. Other times its so bright that nearly the entire picture is given in one moment. Those are my favorite.

Lately I've been having lots of little sparks firing off constantly. Glimpses of could be's, maybes, what ifs etc. etc. etc. Nothing huge has come about. Normally I would complain of writer's block and not having a good enough idea. That's not the case. I'm rather thankful. They're ideas for the future. Tales that have potential to grow into something larger once I decide to shine a bright enough light on them. For now, they wait on a notepad with all the others. A holding pen of potential lives, moments and mysteries, that notepad.

One such spark of came today during an unfortunate moment that will not be gotten into but a spark does not let you decide most of the time when it wants to appear. It'll just appear.

This spark is about the human soul Beliefs around the world see the soul moving on to a Heaven or a Hell. We're going to look at the Heaven perspective. An adult dies and goes to Heaven. They're image of themselves while there is what they want it to be because they've had time to learn about the world and shape themselves how they want to. What about a child? Will they forever remain a child in the after life? Can they shape their image into a grown body but still maintain a child's thoughts?

Which brings us back to the spark. If a child gets to Heaven, will they continue to grow into an adult while they are there?

I think its an interesting idea if done right. Unfortunately for it, it goes to my holding pen of ideas to graze with parasitic puppies, a camper, a literal bump in the night and a few stragglers that have been there longer than they care to admit. Its got odd company for the subject matter it came with but it'll be treated like a good friend nonetheless.

Now where will the next spark come from?
