About this ebook
A man in his early fifties, with a wife and two daughters, feeling a bit adrift with responsibilities takes a walk in his neighborhood one unseasonably warm January Iowa evening with his dog, Lady. He is far-away day dreaming and feels as if their is a touch of magic in the air. The next thing he knows everything has changed. He is no longer in his neighborhood but standing on the Dodge Street Bridge In Iowa City, close to his boyhood house.
He notices that big, puffy snowflakes are falling from the winter sky and that there is a different dog on the end of his leash now. He also can't understand why he is somehow closer to the ground. He sees that it is Blacky, his childhood dog on his leash now and that he is wearing different clothes. He has on old black winter boots with the metal buckles on them that they don't even make anymore and he has his favorite Green Bay Packers coat and stocking camp on!
He closes his eyes thinking he is just imagining it all but when he opened them, Blacky is looking at him strangely as if he too wonders what just happened.
Instead of panicking he throws back his head and tries to catch some of the snowflakes on his tongue. If this is a dream it's the most true to life one he has ever had.
He slowly comes to the realization that he is 10 years old again. How can he look like a 10 year old boy but know what a man in his early fifties does? He slowly walks back towards home, but what is home, now? His fours sisters await him, his beloved childhood home with all its memories and even stranger, his mom and dad who have passed away years ago.
How can handle all this? How will he act in front of his sisters, now kids again even as he knows them as adults with kids of their own and one even a grandmother!
While he partly excited of the prospect of seeing his best friend, Bob and other buddies he is also scared of what has happened to him in his 'real' adult world? Will he be able to get back? Will he want to? What is happening to his wife and daughters now?
It's a fantasy thrill-ride that every adult has imagined one time or another. What would it be like to be carefree and a child again?
