Talking livestock, lovesick stone, an egg that hatches something not a chicken, a polite conversation with Death, rescuing a harvest god, the spark of life in a machine. These eleven stories are rooted in the mundane, but are steeped in impossible magic. Many play upon a trope with a twist, such as haunted houses, societal expectations, and typical roles. Each one endeavors to be a dip into a fragment of a world, and a glimpse at the magic that infuses it.
