John is a normal kid. Kind of.
{So he chooses to think.} And he thinks a lot. Like... a *lot*. About the world. About people. About things that {probably don't matter} but feel like they do.
And he has this voice in his head.
[He calls it Spark.]
Spark isn't evil or creepy or anything. He's just... him, but slightly louder, slightly weirder, and way more honest.
They've always talked to each other. [It's normal. Probably.]
Until Spark starts doing things John doesn't remember doing- like catching a dodgeball with zero reaction time.
{Now he has questions.} Not just about Spark, but about himself, and the way people carry things they don't always talk about. And about a stranger stranger than him that [keeps popping up.]
This isn't a story about going crazy.
[It's about letting someone in.]
It's about trust, [weird brain conversations], {quiet moments}, and realizing maybe you're not as alone as you thought.

[Sidenote: This story is currently a draft and subject to edits/rewrites.]
{What?? Why?}
[Because the story isn't complete? Jeez, thought you would pick up on that...]
{Sorry, should've thought of that.}
[Should we be breaking the fourth wall like this?]
{Meh. It doesn't really matter; it's just a book description.}
[Should we be doing all of this in the book description-?]
{...good point.}
