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 1st page of Chapter 19 – Page 151.
.
Enjoy !

5500 YEARS FROM HOME

chapter Nineteen … page 151

Going Home
.

As the sun rose in the East on Monday January 12, 2009, Charles had decided that it was time for him to go home. He had packed the night before and the car was warming up in the circular driveway at the Martins. This was, also, the day that the EOB had planned to depart. Charles hugged Thom instead of shaking his hand as always was the case in the past. Then he hugged Cyndi and Corey as the two prepared themselves for School. Then he hugged the EOB and told him that hoped to see him, again, someday. Finally, he walked out to his car with Audrey and they talked for a few minutes and then hugged for a few more minutes. Then he got into his car and he was gone.
.
When Audrey returned to the house, she was, still, wiping the tears from her eyes. She kissed Thom and then hugged the EOB, goodbye.
She made sure the kids were ready for School and then, the three boarded her car so that she could drive them to their School. And the they were gone.
.
Now, it was just the EOB and Thom as it had been for what seemed like the past eternity. They walked down to the Martin’s barn, over the ridge, behind their house. The EOB levied his Orb down to ground level. He and Thom stood there looking at each other for a while. Visions of their expedition flashed before both of their mental capacities until the EOB phrenically said goodbye. They hugged. Then the EOB boarded his Orb and was gone.
.
Thom walked back up to his house with as lonely a feeling as he’s ever had. And he waited for Audrey to return from taking the kids to School.

… and he was gone. ..
