Wendy

by Barry Eysman

Wendy and Peter and the cost of eternal love. The need for a dream passed by takes a huge cast, a world, and wolds to come. What we can never think about.





***** Everland

Ever hopeful. Ever loving. Ever waiting. Ever longing. Wendy’s world is the exact opposite of Peter’s Neverland. Never grow up, never love, never be beholden, only be held. For every Peter who needs no one, there is a Wendy who desperately needs him and nothing else. Barry Eysman shows us how Wendy sees Peter in the beautiful, heartrending words of this short story. I believe the novel, Peter Pan, could be placed on one side o a scale and this story could balance it’s weight on the other side. Here we get a deep, winsome look into Wendy’s soul—the thing we only get a glimpse of in the original novel. Peter is incomplete. He is, “just a boy.” And here, Wendy is a woman whose heart has been imprinted with the love—spell cameo silhouette of that just and only a boy forever, and ever. Barry, thank you for the beautiful story.
