Summer of 1968 - Prologue. Prologue

 

He paused, remembering the way the scent of a summer's morning and the chorus of birds outside always brought him back to reality after a night lost in fantasies. A part of him wondered if these vivid dreams were just a symptom of growing up, or if they hinted at something deeper, needs and desires he was still learning to name. He tried to steady his breathing, listening to the gentle rustle of leaves outside the window, letting the sounds anchor him as he prepared to leave the sanctuary of his room and embrace whatever the day might hold.
A heartfelt thanks to Valkyrie and the staff/helpers at GA for this anthology!
My kudos to Gary L for his remarkable editing, making this story that much better.
Lastly, my thanks to you, the readers, who are the backbone of this amazing story site, for your time and comments!!!

Ok. I'm here. I'm ready.

It's still just the afternoon in my timezone, and it takes me like a half hour or more to read 5k words (because I am not a skimmer), which means *counts on fingers* I should be done between 3-6 hours. I'm going in!

...also, as for the prologue: It's kind of ironic that this character is talking about the scent of summer and chorus of birds is what is bringing them back to reality when the scent of summer and a chorus of birds sounds like a vivid dream to someone in the start of nonstop stormy season such as myself. 😂
