One Winter's Day in June Stephen J Willis

Enslaved by a past life memory and beaten into submission by his own mind, young Oliver is becoming further and further disconnected from the world about him, as an invisible force takes control of his subconscious. Unable to reach deep into his psyche, Oliver is prey to the psychological trauma of an impossible past. A force which dictates both thoughts and feelings he cannot escape. Yet Oliver reacts out of character to an unknown male visitor, to whom his distraught mother, now at her wits end, responds with both fear and dislike. Can this unexpected stranger liberate the child from his own behavioural constraints? An incredible short story based on a true event.
