Outside the mall, the two girls stood in the afterglow of a dying, wintry sunset.
“Here ya go, Cheryl!” Her companion laughed, revealing a small item from her back pocket.
“But, how…how’d you pay for it so quickly?”
“Pay? Oh, yeah, right…” Patti smirked. “Let’s just say this one’s on me.”

“Welcome home, everyone!” Mr. Ormont announced while the family explored their home as if they were seeing it for the first time.
Danny ran his hand along the wall. “You could never tell there had been a fire here.”
“’Twas worth the wait, that it was,” Mum said.
“It’s good to be home, again,” Danny said, inhaling the pleasing aromas of new carpet and fresh paint.
Mum took a leisurely stroll to admire her new country kitchen. “Bless me soul! I wouldn’t believe it if I not be seein’ it wit me own eyes.” She caressed the polished, cherry wood panels, opening each and every cabinet with care.
Danny raced upstairs. “I can’t wait to tell Patti the good news.”
“Patti?” his parents cried in shock.
“I thought we agreed to stay away from her,” Mr. Ormont grumbled.
“Well, uh…” Danny smiled. “She’s changed.”

About Daniel Ormont
Daniel Ormont traces the origins of his psychic episodes back to toddlerhood when subtle inklings tipped the first domino in a lifelong chain reaction of poignant, precognitive events. These occurrences intensified starting in Middle School. Today, he is a degreed engineer catering to the defense, power, and chemical industries. An amateur astronomer, he once attended a Cosmology Symposium at Johns Hopkins’ Space Telescope Science Institute (STSI).
Over time, acquaintances have shared similar peculiarities: locating lost items for others, foretelling of relatives’ illnesses, intervening to prevent a fatality – strictly through precognition. For Daniel, it not just through dreams, and he believes each of us possess this ability to various degrees. Therefore, he remains open-minded to the impossibilities.
With fingers poised at the ready, The Boy From Tomorrow project formally began in 2003 when the urge to churn burgeoning thoughts into chapters could no longer be quelled. But, spinning a yarn to illustrate how his psychic experiences unfolded over time proved quite challenging. And, while Danny slaved away at the keyboard, was science catching up?
While preparing to publish his first novel, he was pleasantly surprised to learn that some far-out ideas – once deemed too wacky for scientists to pursue – are being re-examined. Discover Magazine (July/August 2016) reported on renewed interest in Entanglement, an abandoned idea from the infancy of quantum physics (the study of subatomic behavior) explaining how one particle may instantly influence another without physical contact nor proximity. Now, laboratory experiments are revealing what was once only imagined: the existence of “spooky action” at the subatomic level. (Everything Worth Knowing About Entanglement, Devin Powell).

Daniel resides on the Delmarva peninsula with his wife and two children. He remains abreast of the latest scientific theories published in today’s science and technology periodicals. Yet, despite a technical education and an internet of conventional wisdom to the contrary, he experiences precognition to this day.
