Challenge
Spooky All Year Long
So I know you wondered how did it all started? Where all these scary things happened? It started at a retirement home where I was the recreational director. Just a few years on the job, the staff asked me to do a Halloween party for the retired folks. Mr. Fred is my name. I have many disciplines and many areas of achievement in college. But this is the only place I could really show my learnings. This is the only place I could show how smart and creative I could be. So yes I took on this recreational director position and I fought hard for my job. And ever week before then I would coordinate with my staff to make sure everything would be safe. Finally the day came, Halloween. And we played Stevie Wonders' Superstition. And I joined the folks with my staff to bring joy and holiday cheer. I was feeling particularly good and happy. Seeing the smiles and that everything was going ever so pleasant. My eyes could not see anything going wrong. Then my staff assistant noted some are doing two steps, others the electric slide and others happy dance. I got so disturbed by the thoughts and what the bosses would say that I turned the music off and exclaimed while dancing. Remember folks like the Thriller video, you were suppose to follow my lead that I showed the staff to teach you. I'm the Michael Jackson and you are the zombies. Then as I finished the folks booed me and threw things at me. And I got on the mic threatening to cancel the party. And then a group of folks said You're gonna wish you did not say that to us. You're gonna wish you did not threaten us. Spooky all year. Then the crowd yelled Spooky all year. And I said all hell no Party is over. And one of the staff pulled the fire alarm and everybody exit the recreational room. Then months later while my wife and I were romantically dining at our house. I saw these demonic nuns went by. And I thought it was a nightmare come to life. I kept asking my wife did she see it. I looked outside and I was frantic with a weapon. It turned out it was some teenagers harassing me. Then my house lights started to flicker on and off every time I wanted to read. Then some shadows kept chasing me down the hallway, up the street and everywhere. Months and months then some women from my past, really who I went to school with a long long long time ago. They started showing up at my job pretending like they had grandparents. They kept wanted me to rate them and they kept asking for marriage and I told them peacefully I am married as I was on the job. Being badger at my job, I even threatened to call my wife to threatened them herself. Then Months and months later, I heard the song Stevie Wonders' Superstitious. And I was at a family reunion and Great Aunt Ginune, she wanted to read everybody palm and cast a spell. I got freak out that I took my whole family after telling her she is godless and sick. We drove to the other half of the country but something came right along with us. I drove till Sunday and we all slept, eat breakfast and got to church on time. I got saved all over again and left the retirement home position and applied for Head Director. I prayed that I would be a Christian leader. That I would be godly and denounce all evil ways. I did not get the job but another job at a local community center. I learned to let people be. I learned to not let people control me. I learned to not let my own ambitions get into the way of my success. And I was happier no longer spook. That spell That curse no longer made me afraid no more spooky all year.

Who Knows What I Am?
May of 2023. Just a few months from year 35 on this orbital rock; metal, gas and moisture coated planet. I had a startling fact bloom in front of my heart and grip it like a pitcher. Baseball in hand and needing one last strike out to win the championship. Bases loaded and the batter with a full count. Bottom of the 9th and everything is riding on the pitch.

I Was Sirena The first thing I lost was my face. It faded into the steamed glass fog my vision was becoming as cataracts in my fourteen-year-old eyes sought to claim what little sight remained to me. I looked into a mirror every day and watched myself be erased.
