Speculative fiction is old; older than ancient Greek mythology, older than religion. Ancient peoples huddled around campfires, no doubt, entertained one another with speculation through stories and fables.  This collection of stories has not different purpose.  When an author speculates about such things as the cosmos, spirituality, and the future of humanity, it is a continuation of ancient rites and pastimes that predate civilization - and maybe even the written word.

Rhett Sanders, in his 40s, owns a marketing research firm in Houston, Texas. He is divorced with an adolescent daughter, Grace, who stays with him every other month. Toni Darnell, his girlfriend, and perhaps the love of his life, is also divorced and runs a health and fitness center. Rhett's best friend is Chris Beck, a criminal attorney whose background includes experience with the local DA's office. Every workday morning, Rhett randomly selects five or ten names mentioned in the Houston Chronicle and writes them down on an index card. His first activity when he arrives at his office is checking the names against his firm's data base of respondents, people who were included in random samples of surveys his firm has conducted. It is merely an every day diversion for Rhett, and occasionally he finds a match. But one day in February, the game takes a turn toward very serious consequences.
