This book is available for free at ‘free-ebooks.net,’ as well as others by John Erik Ege. This is collaboration between father and son, some of it directly, some of it vicariously so; gleaned from our conversations while playing, and discussing our adventures at night; I have taken some liberties in an effort to see the world through the eyes of my son; this is an exercise in empathy.

 

WARNING: This is a fan fiction. No profit is being generated. If you enjoy this book and find it acceptable, even with the promise of grammatical errors in your future, you are invited to share it. It is the hope of this father to incorporate the joys he and his son share, and pass it on. If those powers that be that own the rights to the universe and everything find this favorable, and in the future endorse it, that would be lovely. Especially if it puts my son through college, should he choose to go; or even better enables me to live closer in proximity- a super ideal world. (I don’t need much. Camper. Solar power. Fighting bears for park scraps, that’s on me. Scrapping with bears?) The characters in this are real. Sort of. Definitely. Sometimes. Some of them are us. Some of them are more us than we allow ourselves to be in real life. What is real life but fiction? It captures the essence of our dreams, and our dream targets; yes, I am trying to teach son Lucid Dreaming. It reflects our nightly gratitude exercise, a listing of ‘thank you’s.’ ‘Thank you, moon.’ ‘Thank you, goodnight moon.’ It is peopled by monsters. Monsters are cool. It is peopled we know or would like to know. All of them are people we love. Some of these people we have never met, but are solid characters in our life- having as much influence over us as the Earth’s gravity to warp our journey into perpetual spirals in a cosmic dance. This endeavor is meant with love, humor, and sometimes a touch of sadness and pain. Sometimes fear. Kind of like life.

 

May this inject a little love, strength, and hope into your world.
