Charles Wallace's Favorite Toy

We’ve all had the fear while lying in bed, looking up, and watching it spin. What would happen if it fell? Can it really fall? How bad would it hurt if it did? Charles Wallace’s Favorite Toy is a short story that takes its reader through the normal life and thoughts of a woman who was unlucky enough to still be in bed when the unlikely happens.“Things go right all the time, Hank. Just not for the right people.”Henry Ludlow is a man being crushed by the humdrum of modern life. His will is eroded as the world takes its toll on one little man.Set in a typical Melbourne setting, Henry's story is an allegorical tale of depression and the struggle to live up to the expectations of his work, his marriage and family.
