The Boy Beyond The Window

L. Van Warren

FACT:
Recently Nick and I spend about 2 hours a day high bouncing on our 15'
trampoline.
We think if we do it enough something new will happen.
Yesterday I put swim fins on my arms and with Nick double bouncing me I
asked:
When I swing these around do my feet hang in the air in front of your face
just a moment longer. He thought they did.

FICTION:
... the boy would shoot his bow and just stand there. Then after a long time
I noticed he would tie a string and shoot the arrow with that. Sometimes it
would catch and he would pull himself up high and swing back and forth on
that string. That was enough for me, this bedroom window was coming open ...
