TVA BABY And Other Stories (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Or dreams. Orville collected stamps. His big brother, Wilbur, collected dreams. That made it hard to know what to get Wilbur for his birthday. He would be twelve soon. Then Orville saw the magazine. WONDER TALES for BOYS. The perfect thing for a dreamer! “Happy Birthday,” he said. Wilbur loved it. It was filled with stories about submarines and flying machines. He hoped he could get his little brother, Orville, something half so nice. He would be eight in a few months. Wilbur looked through the little ads in the back of the magazine. They were for novelties of all kinds: invisible ink, handshake buzzers, secret signal whistles. Then he saw the ad for STAMPS FROM THE FUTURE. “Perfect,” he said to himself. He ordered them for Orville’s birthday—which was in the future, after all! They came just in time. “Happy birthday,” Wilbur said. Orville tried to hide his disappointment. He only liked real stamps, and these were just gag fakes. Plus there were only four of them.
