The Bargaining
“Jakes, who freely admitted it was hippy crap but insisted we do it anyway.
But after the other day, I’d say Linda has seen stranger things than meditation.
I brush away the chill that’s crept to the surface of my skin probably a hundred times since then. No amount of renovation has been able to fully clear my mind of its questions. April and I primed all the walls in that room after she got back, but the wall with the mural stays. Much like the rest of this house that’s inches away from... being condemned, April thinks it’s charming.
“Charming like marionette puppets are charming,” I’d said in response to her assessment. “Like clowns, or those antique dolls with teeth that look real from a distance.”
Now, alone while April focuses on all the wrong things and tries to find a repairman who works on ancient ovens (her earlier sense of reason apparently taking a backseat to adorable kitchens), I raise Linda, then slowly open my eyes, my first vision reborn inside the lens.MoreLess
