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 3rd page of Chapter 14 – Page 122.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

Turnaround

After all, Thom had 1964 money and the fact that it was three years old by 1967, it would not be detectable to anyone. Thom was happy to not only repay Mr. Clark but to regain his credibility. Regardless of the fact that he wasn’t tied to any personal wrongdoing, Thom wanted the memory of his brief time there to be positive and easily forgotten.
.
The journey from the year 1006 was not a short hop and soon enough, Thom had drifted off into cosmic slumber, yet again. His subconscious thoughts may not be guiding the craft, this time but that did not deter the fact that Thom was thinking of his lifetime. His mind culled up a period of time that had nothing to do with any future nor past connotations. It was of a Summer experience during his College years at the University of Maryland.
.
This was before Thom had met Audrey and his girlfriend, back then, was a girl named Debra Coors. Debra was a quick witted person who always seemed to know what to do in any circumstance. She added structure to Thom’s crazy period of his youth. Thom’s under sense was recalling that Debra had introduced him to Country & Western music and they had gone to concerts featuring Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard as well as Tom Jones, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and John Hartford just to name a few.
.
Thom was dreaming about a time that him and two of his dorm roommates and Debra had driven to Ocean City, Maryland. It was July 1st, 2nd and 3rd in 1987. The dates were easy to remember because they had to be back at the University of Maryland’s Cole Field House to see a Willie Nelson concert on July 4th.
.
One of the indelible memories for Thom was that Debra’s roommate had to leave School that week to return to West Virginia because her father was ill. Normally, Debra’s roommate would have been there to watch her cat but with her out of town, the cat had to go.
