Dangerous Dreams (A Dreamrunners Society Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
Ingenuity in a region with few resources had led the boy to fasten cut up chunks from a discarded automobile tire to the bare rim as a substitute. The solution didn’t work particularly well, but the boy didn’t seem to notice. He wore a loose shirt and drawstring cotton pants, both in shades the color of the dirt in the road, but carried a bright red book bag slung over his shoulder. So lengthy was the strap it hung to his thighs, beating against his slight body with each pump of the bike’s pedals. In shape, the bag resembled the zippered rectangular totes airlines used to give to passengers on intercontinental flights during the 1960s. This was a new bag, however, something of which the boy was obviously proud. A small cartoon animal decorated the side, possibly a rabbit, wearing a baseball cap, the bill turned rakishly to one side. The cartoon and the bag were Japanese. Smiling and waving to another small boy sitting on the curb a few feet away, he reached down, grabbed the body of the bag and held it up for his friend to see.
