We also learn in this short story how friends can give us encouragement to go on, whether real or imaginary. Imaginary Friends tells us that good friends will be there whenever we need them regardless of time spent apart.

Without giving away either story, the thing trapped in the tree is different between the two stories as well. The ending was a little predictable, at least for me. Recommendations: Imaginary friends is a heartwarming story about overcoming cancer and the inner battle for survival.
It is fitting that for a short period of time Terry has made this story available for sale in ebook format to help his webmaster and friend Shawn Speakman pay for his cancer treatments. Not only will you get a story that helped set the stage for one of my favorite of his novels, you will be helping someone else in the process.

The air from the fan was warm and stale, and through her open window she could see the leaves of the big oaks hanging limp and unmoving.
She had been so eager to watch the dance of the spirits of the Sinnissippi, so anxious to learn what the spirits would tell her of the future. But she had been shown nothing of the future.
Instead, she had been given a strange, almost frightening glimpse of the past. She felt cheated and angry. She felt betrayed. She told herself she would have been better off if she had never met Two Bears. But after a while her anger cooled, and she began to consider the possibility that what she had been shown was more important than she realized.
