Summary
Terrified, Maverick grabs the newspaper off the doorstop and tears the thread off, tearing it open. There’s a story about the nuclear reactor that exploded in Ukraine in April, and another about the death of Ted Lyons. Ronald Reagan is the president of the United States, the Cubs beat the Dodgers last night 9-4, and Aliens is the number one movie in America.
The newspaper is the San Diego Union. The date is July 26, 1986.
Maverick clamps a hand over his mouth and barely makes it back in the house in time to fall to his knees and vomit into the toilet.
-
Maverick makes a wish and wakes up thirty years in the past. He reacts accordingly.

Summary
Tom didn’t know kindness. At least none that he didn’t have to earn first. What he knew, what he was good at, better than anyone he knew, was figuring out what people wanted. And giving it to them.
Be it something trivial as a glass of water or something significant like a shoulder to cry on. Tom had seen it all and was glad to help.
