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 6th page of Chapter 15 – Page 130.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Fourteen … page 130

Clark Repaid

Just maybe, Thom’s advice on his earlier visit at Milford Hospital was the impetus that his father needed to protect his own health. It was a strange occurrence how that worked out. Strange indeed.
.
Thom walked slowly back towards where the Orb was waiting for him. He was truly soaking the ambiance and in seeing his old town. Something that would not have happened had it not been for the EOBs accident in Coventry and the mistaken departure with Thom aboard. But, then again, the EOB would not have had the luxury of having Thom explore each destination to determine the locale and time period.
.
As Thom passed by the local landmarks walking down main Street, he was reminded of Jimmy Stewart in It’s A Wonderful Life saying hello Emporium, hello old Savings & Loan, hello Bistro; while Thom was saying goodbye Movie Theatre, goodbye Hahn’s Shoe store, goodbye old man Clark’s and Clark’s Drugstore.
.
By the time that Thom reached the Hospital’s wooded area, the Police cars that had previously followed him, were not anywhere in sight. Thom stood in the parking lot where his first Jump landed him and watching his parents carry him as a young infant to the car where the picture was taken that Thom remembered seeing for most of his life.
.
Then, sadly Thom walked to the other side of the parking lot and into the wooded underbrush to where the Orb was partially hidden. He walked up the front section that was facing the nearby creek. The hatch opened, Thom climbed in and it closed, behind him. And within an instant, they were gone.

… goodbye Movie Theatre, goodbye Hahn’s Shoe store, goodbye … Clark’s Drugstore. ...
