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 17 – Page 145.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Seventeen … page 145

Janice’s Dirge
.
Thom stopped observing the visualization port. He hung his head down and could not escape the emptiness that pervaded his senses. His heart panged for his wife, Audrey, knowing how this tragedy must be tearing her heart out and Thom wasn’t even there to subjugate her angst. Audrey was having to deal with her husband being ripped from her by an Extrinsic Being from 5500 years in the future and her mother’s passing so soon, thereafter. For a while, Thom could not confine his emotions and he wept. The EOB whose people had long since learned to quell their saddened emotional suffering, put his arm around Thom and stood silently by him in a true show of humane comforting.
.
Soon, Thom was inert because no predominate time movement can possibly occur without a reasonably lucid human from the 2000s being overcome with fatigue syndrome. The fact that Thom had just experienced the emotional roller coaster of his affairs with Debra and then having his wife’s mother pass away without his consoling presence and after a night of precious little sleep – could only conclude that he rest. For, soon, he’d be home.
.
When Thom awakened, he rubbed his eyes and in a childlike angelic intonation, asked ‘are we there, yet’ ? The EOB allowed that they would indeed be at Thom’s home, momentarily. Thom had two questions. What amount of time had passed in Coventry since his disappearance .. and how long had it been since Janice’s requiem ?
.
The answers were: it had been 11 days since he was seized and Janice passed 6 days later. She was buried just the day before this one. It was, now, Noon on Friday January 9th, 2009.
.
The EOB has secretly and silently moored the Orb right back in the loft of the Martin’s barn. The hatch opened and Thom crawled out. He offered the EOB an invitation to come into his house and the EOB accepted if the children would be ok. Thom assured him they would.
