Super-Natural Renovations
73 to 74. Moved in a house that junkies ―squatted‖ in before we moved in. During clean-up, we‘d hear walking upstairs or in adjoining rooms. A friend of the family that was helping had three dogs, mean dogs. They were brought in to scare trespassers away but they cowered & had to be dragged out at the end of that cleaning session. One, a Bavarian shepherd that would bite Satan just spun in circles barking & staring upstairs.I shared a bedroom with my nephew & we only had a box spring to sleep on. He‘d have it one night while I slept on the floor, then the next night we‘d trade. One evening it shook a few times. I knew he was just getting settled but if he shakes again I‘m going to say something.
He says, ―Hey man, why don‘t you relax.‖ ―Me,‖ I snapped bacFifteen minutes later he jumped straight up & shouted, ―Something‘s pulling my blanket!‖ At the bottom right side of the box spring, there was a hole the size of a cantaloupe. His blanket had been pulled inside it. We had two cats & suspected it was one of them but when we lifted it, the corner of the blanket was the only thing we saw.
I wore a large afro then. I called it, ironically, a super-natural because it was a foot high. I got up earlier than anyone else in the house to prepare for school. I was combing it when I heard footsteps walking the 12' wooden porch leading to the door. It had a polyglass center & a shade in front of that. I raced down to see who was here this early before they woke the house. I pulled the shade open & there was no one there but the sound of the steps went right past me & up the stairs.k, ―I thought that was you!‖When I shared this with my nephew, he suggested I probably didn‘t have to comb my hair after that & I said, ―No, it was OTAY,‖ & did my best Buckwheat impersonation. the end.
