The Place Within

By T. D. Martin

When Patrick Newman woke up in the morning, he knew he would be SOMEBODY, as to the how and when, that yet had yet to be determined. Perhaps it would be his overactive imagination making it so. It certainly did not hurt him later when he turned his dog and lawn mower into the pesky Buckeye opponents. And it certainly did not hurt him when his fellow Wolverine teammates defeated the rede-shirted Ohioans on his backyard's newly mowed field.
Patrick has athletic abilities, likes to read, and dream. Often humorous, his dreams give him a reprieve from an alcoholic father, a bully, and his loss of self-esteem.
With unwavering determination, an iron will, and the help of his best friend, Patrick overcomes his adversaries, turns it into a race, and wins, earning his place on life's Olympic platform.
