Fantasy and Sci-Fi preferably, but anything other than romance I would appreciate!

90% of the fantasy or sci-fi story is working around an interesting premise :-P
Hmm, let me think . . .
Family takes home the world's first talking dog (genetically engineered, or whatever)
Group of people with magical abilities have gathered to protest a law making magical abilities illegal (you could focus on how The Powers That Be would deal with this threat)
Astronauts make Earth's first contact with "aliens" - microbes/fungi/something else small that may or may not be sentient (have to find out)
And this is something I always used to daydream about as a kid . . . having some sort of magic handheld machine where I could push a button and freeze time for everyone around me - either everyone in the world, or just in a certain radius. And sometimes I could "unfreeze" people by touching them, or sometimes people were "frozen" but were conscious but just coulnd't move, but could see me walking around. I bet that would be a tempting situation for a kid who somehow acquired this device to get into trouble :-)

Take an incident from your own life and expand on it. I do it all the time and it's amazing the directions my mind goes!
Think like the creators of the comic strips "Calvin and Hobbes" and "Fibbs."
