Boomer and the Tick-Tock Journey

5 min 9 sec

Boomer was a small golden dog with floppy ears that fluttered like flags when he ran.
One bright Saturday, he chased a shiny silver ball across the backyard and pounced.

The ball flashed bright blue, and suddenly the world sounded different.
No birds sang, only the rumble of wooden wheels on a dusty road.

Boomer found himself tied by a soft leather leash to the wrist of a girl in a long brown dress.
She smiled and called him Goodfellow while she carried a basket of warm bread.

Together they walked through a village where everyone knew the girl, little Molly, and her loyal dog.
Boomer felt the love in every pat on his head, even though the straw roofs and smoky chimneys felt strange.

He helped Molly deliver bread to neighbors who thanked her with copper coins.
At sunset, Molly hugged him and whispered that tomorrow they would explore the meadow.

That night, Boomer curled on a wool blanket by the hearth, confused but cozy.
He dreamed of his own blue bed and the humming refrigerator.

When he opened his eyes, he was no longer in the past.
He stood on polished tiles inside a room full of metal beeping boxes.

A boy wearing glowing glasses knelt and clipped a glowing collar around Boomer’s neck.
The boy called him Circuit and spoke to the walls as if they were friends.

Boomer spent the day learning tricks that made the boy laugh.
Lights danced across the floor when Boomer barked on cue.

Food arrived through a slot in the wall, tasting like nothing he had known.
He missed grass between his paws, yet the boy scratched his ears with such gentle wonder that Boomer wagged despite the oddity.

Evening came in humming violet light, and the boy pressed a silver button on Boomer’s collar.
The room dissolved, and Boomer’s paws touched sand.

The air smelled of salt and sun.
A girl in a bright striped suit waved to him from beside a striped tent.

She called him Skipper and invited him to jump through a hoop of ribbons.
Applause rang like rain on tin.

Boomer learned to balance on a rolling barrel and to bow when the music stopped.
Children offered him sugar clouds that melted sweet on his tongue.

The girl hugged him every night inside the canvas wagon, and he felt warm even when the coastal wind rattled the ropes.
One night, the girl hung a small brass tag on his collar shaped like a star.

She whispered that stars guide travelers home.
Boomer closed his eyes beneath the lantern glow, wishing to see his own kitchen again.

A breeze carried the smell of sawdust and popcorn away.
When he opened his eyes he was in a quiet room lit by candles.

An elderly woman in a shawl rocked gently in a chair, humming.
She patted her lap and called him Comfort.

Outside, snowflakes drifted like tiny feathers.
Boomer spent slow hours dozing by the fire while the woman knitted scarves colored like sunrise.

She spoke softly of memories and seasons long gone.
He felt the calm of long winter evenings in every breath.

She fed him scraps of roasted potato and let him sleep on a quilt stitched with moons.
One night, she tied a little bell on his collar so she could hear him pad across the creaking boards.

The bell tinkled like distant sleigh bells, and he knew she loved the sound.
When the last candle guttered low, she smiled, tears bright in her eyes, and told him he had given her joy.

She pressed her cheek to his head.
The room blurred in warm gold.

Boomer blinked and found himself back in his own backyard, the silver ball resting at his paws like an ordinary toy.
The sky above was the exact shade he remembered.

He barked with delight, tail whipping the air.
The kitchen door opened, and Ellie, his favorite person, stepped outside, calling his real name.

Boomer sprinted to her, leaping into her arms, licking her cheeks, telling her without words about centuries of love he had carried home.
She laughed and spun him around, promising cheese and a long nap on the sofa.

That night, Boomer dreamed not of time travel but of every gentle hand that had held him.
He understood that love, like time, circles in endless loops.

He woke to Ellie’s gentle whistle, ready for an ordinary walk, yet carrying within him the secret tick of centuries.
The silver ball lay quiet beneath the oak, waiting for another curious paw.

But Boomer was content with now, with Ellie, with the simple miracle of belonging.
He trotted down the sidewalk, nose full of today, heart full of yesterday, certain tomorrow would come wagging its tail just the same.
