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.
