      Legacy: A Father’s Tale

      Shifting

      Jeremiah Stalwart was a child that did not seek out trouble. It was in fact extraordinary, the lengths he went in order to prevent trouble in his life, even if he wasn’t actually aware of it himself. Despite his efforts to avoid problems normally faced by a child of seven, he had been the source of unhappiness in his home life since he was an infant. Jeremiah’s mother, Eliza Stalwart, was looked upon with criticism by people within her town. This was primarily due to her open insistence that her son had experienced a string of strange disappearances as a toddler. Though his mother never stated it directly, he knew that his unexplained disappearances were somehow involved in his father, Robert’s, sudden decision to leave Jeremiah and his mom.

      Jeremiah found school boring. Being as intelligent as he was, he could not find anything that interested him to occupy his mind between easily answered questions or during boring lectures, though the explanations his second grade teacher gave could hardly qualify as a lecture. He spent his time during recess in the library of the school. It had always been kept open to those children who preferred to stay in and read, mostly for older students who had some sort of detention or needed extra time to catch up on homework, but he found that he was never turned away.

      On a Friday afternoon, Jeremiah found an introductory book on biology and chemistry. It was intended for seventh and eighth grade readers, but Jeremiah had been reading books at that level for a long time. It was one of the benefits of living in such a small town, that the junior high school and elementary school were combined. Nobody ever paid attention to what he read if he didn’t check it out. After reading the two small chapters about each subject, Jeremiah had a sensation that told him something was wrong with what the book had explained. He looked at the clock and realized that he was half an hour late for class.

      He checked the book out, not caring if anybody was suspicious of why. He figured they would think he liked looking at the pictures. He ran to class and slowed before stopping in the doorway, waiting for his teacher to notice him and invite him in. She did. She scolded him about the irresponsibility of not returning to class on time and let him stand in front of the entire class while she phoned the office to inform them that he no longer needed to be found. He kept his arms wrapped tightly around the book the entire time.

      When the teacher was finished on the phone, she strode back to him. She proffered her hand and asked him shortly, Let’s see what book was so important that you felt entitled to an extra half hour in the library.

      He reluctantly held out the
