5500 Years From Home

chapter Eight … page 67
Thom’s Birth Day
Thom knew where to dump the grass clippings because nearly everyone on Oxford Road kept a Compost pile in the rear of their property. Each time, Thom walked to the Compost pile, he would be near the homes on Merlin Avenue which was the next street over behind Oxford Road. Those lots were smaller with newer homes. The family that lived directly behind Ms. Stinson was the Blasingames. They were young newlyweds in 1967 and didn’t have any children until Thom was 5 years old. Donnie Blasingame worked as a Disc Jockey in New York city. Each time that Thom dumped the grass clippings, which was less than 50 feet from the Blasingame’s – he could hear their stereo. He could plainly here the songs from the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album.

Thom was hurriedly trying to complete his task in order to have a few dollars in his pocket and time to view his family. By the time he was about half way through, he noticed his family’s Fairlane pulling into their driveway. Thom made a slower than normal pass this time so that he could view his parents and Grandmother .. and of course, himself. This time, Thom’s brother, Dhaniel was with them. He must have been being babysat by someone. Possibly friends in West Haven where his Grandmother lived. Thom watched them all enter the family’s back door as he pushed the mower over an area that he had already mowed. Just before they disappeared into the house, Thom’s father looked over at him and hesitated, momentarially. Once they were all inside, Thom tried to finish up his hired task as quickly as possible.

After a few more minutes had passed, Thom noticed a Milford Town Police cruiser drive up the street, turn around and come back and park in front of Ms. Stinson’s house. At that time, Thom’s father walked out the family’s front door and approach the Policeman. Thom knew something was amiss and decided to take action.
