DRABBLE ONE: SHE’S IN THE POOL
AT AGE 9: Mom was an Avon lady. One night we were delivering products to a customer. Seeing child-like lacey curtains in one window, I knew there’s a child!
In the house, I headed toward the bedroom and was stopped at the kitchen.
“I’m in the pool.” The little girl said.
I asked the customer, “Your little girl died?”
The customer told us she drowned in the backyard pool. She cried, hugged me and bombarded me with questions. I answered every one.
She and her husband thanked me for comforting them and giving their daughters’ message of love to them.
DRABBLE TWO: MODEL T FORD
AT AGE 10: Mom heard about a 1930s Model T Ford, for sale. At the junk yard, the owner led to this shining authentic car. He urged my mother to get in the driver’s seat, I jumped in too!
I jumped out immediately -- hysterical. “Get out, you can’t buy this car--everyone dies!”
The owner paled, asking my mother, “How does she know about that!?”
The car was owned by a Governor, he was gunned down by the Mafia. Everyone who owned the car – it was 1973, car was 1930 -- had been killed tragically while in the car.
DRABBLE THREE: LIFE-LINE
WHEN I WAS 11: I had read a book about reading palms. So, I’d practice with friends. Strangely, my interpretations were usually dead on. Visiting Santa Ana, California, I was reading the palms – the lifeline – telling some new pals how old they’d be when they die.
One girl, about my age, had the shortest one I ever saw. When I paled and wouldn’t tell her an age of death – which I received as 12-years-old. It bothered her I wouldn’t say it.
I heard that she died a year later. She was hit by a car, at the age of 12.
