The Recesses of My Mind Stanley S Thornton

This book is a collection of short stories all within the genre of Science Fiction. The title of the collection is explained by how Mr. Thornton created the stories. He did not sit down to purposely write science fiction. Instead, each story formed in the back of subconscious mind and slowly worked its way forward into his conscious mind. The stories did indeed form in the recesses of his mind. At this point, he wrote them down and then over time tweaked them until the stories were complete and coherent. The exception to this rule came with the last story where he consciously wanted to write a story about his home town, though the details of the story still formed in his subconscious as did the others. While each story stands separately, with no connection to the others, some of the stories do have similar general subjects. For instance, more than one story deals with the subject of time travel, but each story deals with time travel in a different manner.
