While walking the old hills of Burlington, Ben noticed a
distortion in the air. As he got closer it looked like heat shimmer and since
the air was warm and humid it was an acceptable explanation. He kept walking
the path enjoying the late afternoon sun.
The distorted air seemed to move as he moved and appeared to
be surrounding him. It was as if he actually entered the heat shimmer. Then it
really got weird as he could see silhouettes of people, people from an era gone
by. Ben stopped and listened. He could hear faint voices around him.
A wave passed through the heat simmer. Ben transformed in to
a woman as the world dissolved into a world from 200 years ago. The dress was
comfortable for such a warm afternoon. The people were having a picnic and Ben
knew he was part of the picnic. Another woman addressed him as Monica. The heat
shimmer evaporated and Monica was left standing in a new world from centuries
ago. A quiet calm overcame Monica as she mingled with her new friends that felt
like she knew forever.
