If I Had The Wings

<p>The late 1960s and 70s in Iowa City Iowa</p><p><br />I brought together two separate stories I wrote decades ago:</p><p>Alexander Amadeus Shakespeare appears in the first 3-Chapters as a mere bubble void of little understanding of why his being.... The stories become one story.</p><p>Alexander Amadeus Shakespeare is a freshman at the University of Iowa for a nine-year-old quite an achievement. Doctor David Bernstein is associate professor in the Department of Psychology. The two have recently bonded. Dr. Bernstein has never married; little Alex is extremely intelligent but socially awkward. He has had no father involvement; however William Shakespeare XV is his birth father. This William is intellectually remote from 'Bard' of the sixteen hundreds. William XV has dire genes: however a providential little cuss drove to the heart Priscilla.</p><p>Alex's mother Priscilla has never married Alex is her cherished deliverance. They live together in a third-floor apartment. Priscilla will become diagnosed with breast cancer the prognoses potentially fatal. Little Alex prevails entreating the Self-aware Universe allow little Alex to be the sacrificial offering for his mother.</p><p>Of all things unlikely Bard of Avon virtually appears in Alex's bedroom three-dimensional prodded by little Alex to speak current English The two are parallel mindsets.</p><p>The Sovereign Council of famous historical virtual bodies makes appearances in Alex's bedroom. They eventually concur to Alex's reasoning. Shakespeare is Alex's facilitator for the distinguished group. They include: Mohandas Gandhi Zoroaster Alexander Pope Socrates and the Apostle Paul.</p><p>Priscilla's cancer goes into remission while little Alex begins suffering severe headaches. He reconciles with his birth father. Dr. David Bernstein weds Priscilla. Alex has a brief father in Bernstein.</p><p>Before passing Alex witnesses the Bard traveling forward ten years to the future. It will be the providential scheme making all events plausible to those Alex loved. Further he asked that David and Priscilla have a baby named Alexander Amadeus Shakespeare II. The foretold events in a chosen book on a very shelf in Iowa Book and Supply ten years in the future; on a chosen day and near moment... all will be revealed-the why of Destiny altered. It is allegorical: A Sacrificial Love Story.</p>
