Itchiwan - a Historical Time Travel Adventure - that may not have happened, yet. At a seaside Cape Cod town in 1968, four boys from diverse cultures found each other, then found mischief, and found a time portal in the woods near the remnants of a legendary witch’s cabin from the seventeen hundreds. They experimented with the portal and actually found Sarah Screecham! She was frightening, yet mesmerizing. She relayed horrors about using the portal herself. They promised her they wouldn’t use the portal again.
They did. As often happens, curiosity killed the cat, and in this case maybe literally. Amos, the brains of the group, believed he could pinpoint the exact time of the stories of Wampanoag legend. He did, but not the happily ever after stories. Instead they found Pukwudgees, evil homicidal demons that Wampanoag mothers had warned their children of throughout the ages. The Pukwudgees gave chase and were led back to the portal.
And no one knew why a Cape Cod town went to hell in 1992!
A Pandora’s Box had been opened! The boys formed a bond pledging to close it, before it was discovered by god knows who. Buckle up for a fast paced thriller that includes:
-A golf shot to die for
-A sunrise fishing charter with unusual chum
-Bill Cosby gets hammered
-The former Wharf Tavern in Boston
-Rockefeller Center
-A shillelagh and a slingshot
-Up and coming Winter Hill gangsters
-Pro football
-Sam Bellamy
-And of course, mom, blueberry pie and the girl he left behind.
