"To Remember Charlie By" by Roger D. Aycock is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Joey, who is confined to a wheelchair and is grieving the loss of his one-eyed dog, Charlie. The narrative intertwines themes of faith, hope, and the extraordinary bond between a boy and his pet, ultimately suggesting that belief can alter reality in unforeseen ways. The plot unfolds in a trailer court where Joey waits in vain for Charlie, who has been hit by a car. As Joey mourns, he begins to exhibit strange abilities, claiming that he can move stars in the sky. His neighbor, Doc Shull, initially doubts these claims, attributing them to Joey's imagination and coping mechanism. However, as more stars seem to move in the heavens, the story blurs the lines between reality and the supernatural. Ultimately, through the emotional journey of the characters, Joey finds the strength and inspiration to get up from his wheelchair, symbolizing a profound transformation fueled by love and remembrance—a poignant testament to healing and the power of belief.
