Jiggs

Dennis is a dreamer. His dad, Jiggs, died in 1973, when Dennis was a young man. For forty years, he’s indulged a fantasy: Imagining seeing his father again. Imagining Jiggs answering questions, offering wisdom. Imagining telling Jiggs of his achievements. Introducing him to his grandchildren and great grandchildren.This is what dreamers do. They take that mental trip to a make-believe place of joy and wonder. Going to a world they know isn’t real but one that leaves them with a smile, with hope, and with comfort.Dennis went there often. So often that when it actually happened, when that crazy dream finally came true and Jiggs returned in 2013, Dennis found himself living in the middle of the miracle he’d spent forty years crafting in his head.But beneath his euphoria at this dream fulfilled, he is uneasy. Dennis hears voices uttering strange phrases, mimicking his words–Jiggs’ words.Jiggs doesn’t know where he’s been for forty years and can’t explain how it is that he’s suddenly returned in 2013. But more than that, neither of them can solve the greatest mystery of all…Why?
