The Sweet Ride 4

The Sweet Ride 6

Tommy awakes thinking that he has lost his mind. What had happened to him the day before had to have been an hallucination. It could not have been real. He was terrified. How could he tell his family that he needed help? Was he going mad? He went to his mother, not knowing how to explain his fear, when his grandmother came onto the front porch where they were sitting. What she had found in the laundry was about to change all of their lives forever. Let us go now to the sixth and final episode of The Sweet Ride!

The Sweet Ride 4

Just as Tommy's grandfather sought to create a job for him that would help him take his mind off his grief for his father, his grandmother wanted to get him to go to church again for the same reason, and she told her pastor so. However, what he tells her puts Tommy's pain in a whole new light of understanding. Healing requires time, but such grief as Tommy carries in his heart is not so easily repaired. Let's begin episode 4 of The Sweet Ride.

The Sweet Ride 5

There is something about Tommy's new customer that makes him very different from all the others. He knows Tommy's father, so well, in fact, that he says things that threaten to tear Tommy apart. Tommy is ready to leave the man's house in anger when the man asks him to trust him and see what he has to show him. Curiosity gets the better of Tommy, and the man shows him what it is. It looks like a bicycle, but is it far more than that. It is a time machine, and Tommy is about to take the strangest ride he will ever take in episode 5 of The Sweet Ride.

The Sweet Ride Chapter 1

A birthday should be a happy occasion when you turn 13, but this birthday is anything but happy for Tommy. It is filled with torment, anguish and utter despair. In chapter one of this story, we learn why our young protagonist  does his best to be stoic...and not give way to tears...but the tears most come...and they do so in episode one.

The Sweet Ride 2

When a boy's heart is broken, sometimes it takes a grandfather to provide a distraction, a way to stop thinking about one's pain for a while, and to focus on something else. Tommy's grandfather has an idea, and his riding mower is the answer. Let's see where this leads in episode two of The Sweet Ride.
