AUTHOR'S NOTE: Another dream sequence.
Chapter 5
Swinging back and forth on the ropes, Dickie tests his balance.
"It's ok, Dickie," calls his father from another set of ropes. "I won't let you fall."
Nodding his head, the boy smiles. Building momentum, Dickie swings out and releases the ropes. Feeling his father's hands clasp his own, Dickie allows himself to swing with his father.
"Are you ready to go back?" asks his father, glancing toward the platform.
Staring up at his father in the eyes, Dickie shakes his head.
"I don't ever want to go back, Daddy," replies the boy. "I want to stay with you."
