      A Spark in the Wind - Lauren Lynch

      a short story prelude

      to the TimeDrifter Series by

      LAUREN LYNCH

      For hardship does not spring from the soil,

      nor does trouble sprout from the ground.

      Yet man is born to trouble

      as surely as sparks fly upward.

      - Job 5:6-7
