A Place Within

T.D. Martin

When twelve-year-old Patrick Newman woke up in the morning, he knew he would be Somebody; as to the how and when, that 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 those pesky Buckeye opponents. And it most certainly did not hurt him when his fellow Wolverine teammates defeated the red-shirted Ohioans on his backyard's newly mowed field.

Patrick has athletic abilities, likes to read, and dreams. 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.
