Babble: The Short Story: Cosmic Conspiracy, #0

By W. Bradford Swift

Imagine if you knew your son was destined to propel humanity into an evolutionary leap of possibilities. What would you do?

 

The Cagle's know from the earliest days that their baby Bobbie is special, but then again, all parents think that, right? But when Bobby begins to speak in tongues, the entire Charismatic Community takes notice. This is especially true for Pastor John who views Bobbie as a miracle from heaven sent to grow his congregation and his purse. 

 

It's not long before everyone appears to want Bobbie for their own purposes and Angela Cagle, Bobbie's mother becomes more fearful by the day. 

 

This is the story that started it all and that eventually led to the visionary fiction Cosmic Conspiracy series that now includes the full-length novels of Babble and Rabble.  Pick it up today because you deserve to dream again.

W. Bradford Swift writes visionary fiction of the fantasy and science fiction variety for children and young adults to inspire them to become joyful lifelong readers by introducing them to the pure pleasure of reading. Swift believes reading for pleasure stretches the imagination of young readers in ways that TV, movies, or video games do not. He also loves to encourage young people to write their own stories, knowing that some of them will grow into the world’s future authors as he did. As a former small animal veterinarian, animals often play an important role in his stories.

At first, Angie and Brian tried to convince themselves that he was just struggling to say Da-Da, or Ma-Ma, even though none of his mutterings sounded the least bit like baby talk.

Well, that wasn’t exactly true.  Brian finally confessed he’d heard something similar years ago when his great aunt started speaking in tongues during a particularly inspiring church service.

He only confessed this to Angie after being confronted by Emily Kilpatrick, the much younger wife of Pastor John Kilpatrick, during one of her many
