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.

Thom surmised that due to Janice’s funeral the previous day, his kids would probably be excused from School and would be at home. So, on this day, Thom walked out of the barn and looked around. He saw no intruders on his property and no cars parked on the roadway as he had earlier, less than two weeks prior. Once he felt safe, he called for the EOB to come on out and the two started to walk up over the ridge towards the house. By the time they got about half way there, Audrey had spotted them and ran out of the house and raced up to Thom and nearly knocked him over hugging him. Her tears were flowing as were Thom’s and she cried out that her mother had died. Thom explained that he knew about it and they hugged tightly for several minutes. Finally, Audrey looked at the EOB and told him that they should have taken her mother to the Doctor as soon as he mentioned it, but .. Then she stopped and began again that with Thom gone .. and she stopped again. Then, she hugged the EOB as well.

As they turned to walk on up to the house, Audrey explained that Charles and the kids had gone over to the People’s Church to get the house Flowers and bring them back to their house. She guessed that they’d be back, soon. She said that she just did not feel like going.
.

Thom asked what the kids had been told about his disappearance. Audrey told him that Cyndi already had an idea that something was amiss because of the way Dusty was subliminally offering information. And if Cyndi knew, then surely, Corey knew. The way it was explained was that it was a family secret that an Astronaut was having trouble and needed their daddy’s help. What made it more improbable was that Janice had passed during that same time. Both of the children are confused that there may be a connection between the two once in a lifetime instances. They don’t know about the EOB being from another time and may be too young to be able to digest it.
