Myra Freaks Out In The
Store!!
Sometime in July when I was working, Gabe Duny
came in and said he had nothing to do so he helped me. It was hotter
than a pot of chili outside (from my point of view) and we were
exhausted from the heat. Everyone had left for the sandbar and there
was hardly anyone around town. I was watching Myra because Fran was
gone.
All of a sudden the lights turned off and we ran
out. Myra was still in the store when me and Gabe went out. She said
that she was talking to someone. We asked her who she was talking to
and she replied, "I don't know?" Myra said the girl wanted her to go
and check her for some reason. About two minutes later the lights
went back on and we went in. We asked Myra if she knew the girl. She
gave us the same answer, "I don't know?".
Norma took some pictures from under the counter
and asked Myra if she recognized anyone in the pictures. She pointed
to Sharon Hunter's picture and said that she was talking to her. We
showed her pictures of Karen and for a while she looked and said that
she was the wrong girl. I looked at Gabe and smiled. Myra said that
she saw her near the trash bags and the cleaners. We freaked out and
walked slowly out of the store and waited until things calmed down.
Then after two or three minutes we went back in and checked if anyone
was in the store. The store was filled with complete silence. Myra
went to see if the girl was still there. She said that she was
gone.
