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 5th page of Chapter 10 – Page 89.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Ten … page 89

Record Intact

Thom remembered being at Audrey’s sister wedding in Brighton and staying at the Hyatt Hotel at Market Street and Arlington Road but as he walked in that direction, it was discernible that it was not present in 1961. The buildings in that neighborhood were of the older variety. Thom continued to investigate the streets of Brighton while gaining some exercise and enjoying the open air. He stumbled into a little Sports Store where he purchased an official Major League Baseball with the hope of having Mantle & Maris both autograph it, later that day. It’s cost was a laughable $ 1.10. After some more time passed, Thom headed back in the direction of Rogers Park where he most certainly would make the trek over to Fenway Park. Thom had been to Fenway many times over the course of his lifetime but was excited about seeing it before many of the modern accoutrements had been added.
.
By one o’clock he was back at the Suffolk County Regional Transit Authority yard at Rogers Park. With some time to spare, he decided to reenter the building and check on the EOB. By the time he had gotten to the door, he telepathically understood that the EOB was resting comfortably and decided not to disturb him. Rest was what he needed to regain the strength to control the Orb and reconstruct the journey back to 2008 and then onward to 7508.
.
Thom walked back around to the Washington Street side of the open lot to find a bus sitting there with a designation sign above the windshield stating Fenway park as the destination. He boarded the bus and chose a seat about two-thirds of the way towards the rear. Just before the driver closed the door, the Coffee Shop waitress walked up the 3 steps at the front entrance of the bus and began searching the occupants until she spied Thom. There were about 20 passengers on board with many empty seats available. She smiled broadly and sidled her way back to his seat and sat down beside him.
