visitation

i watched constantine last tuesday and that same night i had a visitation.  must have been all those thoughts crossing over and disturbing the thin veil between the worlds. i was startled awake between two and three in the morning, my own witching schedule.  i hate being startled awake during these hours because that’s when everything seems to be active.  i woke up and immediately noted that the streetlamps outside the windows were all extinguished and there was nothing but a black sheet of dark.  then i saw the curtain shimmer like there was a semi-invisible glob of water as big as a head gliding along its length and it floated at the foot of my bed and then it made a quick dive on my foot!  i felt it. i felt this very very light bump and nudge on my foot and then a bit up my leg and then it soared up again and was gone.

my hands went cold and a voiceless “mommy!” squeaked out of me and then i realized that everyone would be fast asleep.  so i turned on the TV and wrapped myself tightly in the blanket and pretended that it was only the movie playing tricks on me.
