Psykologen spørger mig igen: “Der er noget der piner dig. Hvad er det, du ikke fortæller? Du kan stole på mig og jeg kan høre på alt. Mine ører falder ikke af.
Jeg har hørt de skrækkeligste historier, og alle gav mening, da vi havde kikket på dem grundigt sammen.
Der er forståelige grunde til, at folk gør, hvad de gør....
Jeg har hørt den remse mange gange før og er virkelig træt af at høre på den slags.
Jeg kikker ud af vinduet, hvor jeg kan se piletræet stå og vugge i den tiltagende blæst, forførerisk med de lange tynde grene, der viljesløst føjer sig som så mange gange før, når han pressede sig mod mit underliv, og masede og regerede imens han prustede som et dyr.
“Du er selv ude om det, din lille luder!” Og jeg var alene igen med min bamse, Bruno, som jeg krammede og krammede og krammede, så den blev helt uformelig og blødte og blødte. Undskyld, undskyld, undskyld.
Efter stormen var der ofte faldet kviste og grene af, der lå på den triste grund bag huset.
Det var sådan en dag, jeg så grenen, slangegrenen, snoende sig hen over græsset med de røde øjne stirrende på mig.
Jeg gemte den bag ryggen, da jeg smøg mig ind gennem køkkendøren, og ned ad den lange gang til mit værelse. Den fik lov at bo sammen med Bruno.
Jeg hader dig, jeg ville ønske du døde, gå væk fra mig, kom aldrig igen, gå væk, gå væk, gå væk, forsvind fra jorden.
Jeg klamrede mig til Black Magic, der stirrede på mig med sine blodskudte øjne, imens han slyngede sig omkring sig selv som en vildfaren snurretop.
En nat blev det et voldsomt stormvejr. Ingen i huset kunne sove og var stimlet sammen i køkkenet. Jeg, Bruno og Black Magic var på værelset og følte os hjemme i al larmen. I nat var jeg fri. Lurke var ude sammen med sit slæng.
Det store gamle egetræ væltede og lagde sig på tværs af haven med et mægtigt drøn. Hele huset rystede og vinduet ind til mit værelse blev knust, så den blæsende rå luft hvæsede om ørerne på mig. Det var helt fint. Black Magic, Bruno og jeg var med.
Da det blev lyst, gik vi ud for at se på træet. Og der lå han, Lurke, fuldstændigt smadret under stammen. De måtte samle ham, før han kom i kisten, men han lignede bare en udmast hakkebøf, før den bliver stegt.
Black Magic’s brødre og søstre lå og slyngede sig omkring træet, sluppet løs fra deres store mor efter faldet.
De havde alle røde øjne, der stirrede på mig. Mine venner.
Om natten glimter de røde øjne som rubiner, og jeg slænger mig på det grønne fosforlysende tæppe af slyngende kryb, mine orme, min flyvende drage.
Jeg vender mig fra vinduet og hvæser mod ham: “Gå væk, gå væk, lad mig være i fred.”
As Little Lia lates on the couch she heard a burgalor come into the house. She was very scared so she curled up into a blanket. She looked down at her hands they were invisible stars were all around her. All she needed to do to turn invisible was to say help I am scared or from the power of invisibility come to me. So she took the blanket off called 911 and punched the burglar in the stomach. She found her mom and dad but before she told them there was a burglar she said All is safe now give me a rest and make me visible like the rest! Then she told her mom and dad about the burglar and the police arrived too. I told them everything except invisibility powers. I guess I am a smart 6 and a half year old!
The bright winter sun shone through the big picture window, making a warm square right in front of the coffee table. Danni was laying under the coffee table on her tummy playing with Dora, who was currently exploring the “dark green cave.”
Suddenly, Dora rushed out of the cave holding an ancient tapestry. They both ran to the giant sun soaked field behind them. Danni laid out the tapestry for further study but it was too dusty to decipher, so she picked it up and shook it.
Suddenly she stops shaking and stares in awe as thousands of tiny sun-stars spun and swirled around her. She grabbed Dora’s hand and danced in the sparkling sunshine.
