Ten year old Alex had no idea of what his mom meant when she mentioned a ‘black hole’ that was supposedly under his bed. All he knew was when he found his Swiss Army knife, which he knew had to be somewhere under his bed, he would sneak out his bedroom window and head for his fort to meet up with his buddies. He knew his mom would be mad and he would again lie about cleaning up his bedroom that resembled a war zone.
Alex had learned over the years how to ‘sweet talk’ his mother, which led to Alex’s diminished time spent in ‘jail’. He knew it wasn’t right to not help his mother as he should; after all, with his father in Heaven, Alex was the only ‘man’ in the household. But he didn’t behave like a man or a young boy that his father would have been proud of. And so he continued with his unbecoming behavior, clueless of what lay before him.
Alex’s unexpected journey from under his bed into a strange and often terrifying land helped him to develop from a distrustful and unruly little boy to a faithful, trusting and reliable young man! My name is Karen Kay ( Ketcheson) Sharp and I am originally from Lansing, Michigan. I have always had a desire to write. After graduating high school, I went to college to become a Registered Nurse and worked adult critical care and pediatric emergency care for over forty years, which, along with the six children that I had, didn’t leave me much time to devote to serious writing.
What makes this story precious to me is that it’s been on the back burner for the last twenty five years and I finally completed it, February 28th, 2020!
