"The Portal"
by Rodd Dana
When crippled, twelve year old Andy Yeager disobeys his father and goes for a swim in a strange mountain pond, he discovers an eerie violet light at the pond’s bottom. Overwhelmed with curiosity, he extends a hand toward the strange glow and instantly finds himself caught in a time-warp phenomenon that will forever change him... and all those he meets in the ‘parallel world’ into which he awakens.
