                                                          Day Dreams


           

     ...and there they were. As quickly as they could think of it, they were whisked 

  away to a world not so unlike the one they were born into, but one more closely

  resembling the hours and days they would sit outside together laughing and 

  dreaming of a future filled with what they would like it to be. It was an imaginary

 place, yet it was real and Harry had actually located  it. Certainly a place that fit

 their childhood fantasies, warm, like vacations from school in Florida. There was

 plenty of water around too, to sail in. 

     They were there and   it was totally magical and both of them could see why

 Harry would choose to be there instead of a world that hunted him down like a

 criminal. 

     Something like what people do when they withdraw within themselves when

 things don't seem to be going the way they wanted? Perhaps more like an escape 

from reality you might get from watching a movie or even reading a book.

     "So here we are, everything we dreamt of when we were kids. You should be 

  really happy about that," Bill sort of asked. "Not really Bill. Sure I missed you and

  Evelyn, but that's not all. I missed everything else too! The whole darned world.

 Most everything!" 

       It took a moment or two, but the full impact of what he said sunk in. Our world

  wasn't perfect, but even this dream world originated there.

       Harry would not have to answer all the millions of "We All Still Love You Harry"

  with his own, "I still love all of you too!."
