Just a one-eyed dog named Charlie and a crippled boy named Joey -- but between them they changed the face of the universe.... "Anything wrong, Joey?" I asked. He said, "No, Roy," without taking his eyes off the sky. For a minute I had the prickly feeling you get when you are watching a movie and find that you know just what is going to happen next. You're puzzled and a little spooked until you realize that the reason you can predict the action so exactly is because you've seen the same thing happen somewhere else a long time ago. I forgot the feeling when I remembered why the kid wasn't watching the palmetto flats. But I couldn't help wondering why he'd turned to watching the sky instead. "What're you looking for up there, Joey?" I asked. He didn't move and from the tone of his voice I got the impression that he only half heard me. "I'm moving some stars," he said softly.
