5500 Years From Home

In addition to the 250 plus Lyrical Pieces that I have written and received Copyright Protection from the Library Of Congress - I have, also, written a Novel (copyrighted but not Published) entitled 5500 Years From Home. I am currently working on a 2nd Book entitled The Island that I am about 1/2 the way towards completion, .. but have suspended at this time.
.
I have decided to, occasionally, post excerpts from
5500 Years From Home in this Blog space.
Today, we peruse the 4th page of Chapter 9 – Page 74.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Nine … page 74

Beatles’ Land

Thom had made it a point to not ask the foolish questions of where he was or what year it was. He was fairly sure he was, still, in the past and the accents of the persons he had heard seemed to match that of New York. The signs that he had witnessed had not been exact in determining his precise location. His guess was at an Airport. But which one ? And what year. And why was this large group of people assembled. Possibly a President or other World leader was departing or arriving, today.
.
Eventually, Thom was anxious to learn the identity of the tote and the contents, therein. As he examined the first few items, he was shocked to find more than a few different credit cards in as many different names. There were, also, several checkbooks and again, with as many different names attached. It appeared that this culprit was a thief of some renown. Then, there was cash and lots of it. It was not in any sequence and apparently stolen, as well. When Thom felt that he could not be surprised any more – he stumbled across two names that caused him great concern. The first name was scribbled on the back of a School voucher pass authorizing an additional credit for $ 18 in the School store and cafeteria. The name was Donnie Blasingame. Thom sat there in a daze trying to come to a conclusion about why this was present. Upon further examination, Thom located Donnie’s Milford address and phone number. It was where Donnie lived with his parents as a Schoolboy. How had this thief pilfered something from a child in another Town ?
.
The other name that was found was attached to the pouch and in all likelihood, the true identity of this person. It was Herschel Cranston.
Could this be the Herschel that Donnie rode to Washington, D.C. with in February of 1964 ? Thom reexamined the voucher and found the date 1964 stenciled on it’s back. How could this be. Herschel had stolen Donnie’s property and yet, traveled with him to a concert.

… The name was Donnie Blasingame. ..
