The story so far.
Thomas has just visited a health shop in Amsterdam. He got there because he travelled in his dream. That's because he has an Atlas that was given to him in Santa's grotto, when he was a boy.
He was told that he needed to put his finger on a place that he would like to go, and believe.

Part 3: Texas In London
“Do you have a name?” asked Thomas.
“Yes” replied the shopkeeper. “Would you like Texas?”
“Can you answer my question first?” asked Thomas. “What is your name?”
“Nick,” replied the shopkeeper. He is also the man who told him how to use his Atlas to travel.
“How about Texas?” asked Nick. “Would you like Texas?”
“No,” replied Thomas. “But I do like the Scottish band called Texas.”
“I've heard of them,” said Nick. “They have a gig in London tonight. Would you like to go?”
“I would love to,” replied Thomas.
“That would be in about one hour," said Nick.
“I'm possibly not going to get there in time.” said Thomas.
“You are still having trouble with the believing part,” said Nick. “Good luck, see you around.”
“Where are you off to?” asked Thomas.
“I'm not going anywhere.” replied Nick. “You're off to see a gig.”
Thomas took the Atlas out of his bag and searched for London. He closed his eyes. He opened them.
He was in London and he was right outside the concert hall. The gig was about to start, but there was one problem. He didn't have a ticket.
Then, a boy in a bicycle then came up to him. He gave an envelope and then rode off again. He looked at the envelope to see that his name was on it. He opened it. It was two tickets for the Texas concert.
“Nice to have two tickets but I only need one,” thought Thomas.
“Why did I get two tickets?”

Thank you @ameliabartlett for the freewrite banner.
Interesting like Christmas in the Summer.
It was an accident, but there's always time for a summer Christmas tale. :-)
Great.
Thank you for reading :-)
He keeps getting two tickets. I wonder if someone important is coming into his life soon!
I have to admit, I have no idea myself. :-)
a cool and short story. if the atlas was not mentioned, i would have believe this is real. am i too gullibme or your a good writer. anyway, as a kid, i had always been looking on this type of adventures. i hope you publish a book like this for kids.
Texas in London is such a brilliant title! I love it :) and this Atlas sounds like an awesome invention, very good material for a story.
Now, let's see...why did he get two tickets?
Great job!

Thank you for your support. I like this story, so I may take it outside of the daily prompt. I have lots of ideas for it.
