'Even the most ordinary lives have extraordinary moments.
'A breath of frozen time.
'A shabby angel spotted in a bookshop, or at a party.
'An ex-girfriend turned famous poet, who wants to trap you as her muse.
'A lonely prisoner, weaving a tangled web to pass the time when her lover will actually notice her.
'A soldier, exhausted from the War Effort against the aliens, making an emotional connection with her enemy.
'These stories have wings.'
