Epilogue
Can you hear the whispers? Don't try to look, you won't see
them. No one ever does. They started when
I was seven, I think. What you ask? The voices. The spirits. The dead. I can
hear them all the time. Some days they are louder than others. Many nights I
have to scream at them to shut up just so I can rest. A true test of sanity.
It started the day I saw my first one, I was standing on my
porch looking out over at the field across the road. I do not know the day of
the week or even the season. I just remember I saw him standing there. Tall,
with dark hair slicked back, wearing jeans and a long sleeved button down shirt
with his dark colored dog sitting next to him. Thinking back now, I would say
the dog would have to have been a Doberman. He was across the street. Then, in
a blink of an eye, he was at the side of the street. With each second he managed
to get closer but he never moved and never took a step. He never spoke, just
stared. He made me feel safe and secure. That is odd in itself wouldn't you
say, as most would be frightened.
Inside I hear my mother yelling again. She does that most of
the time. I turn to go inside. As I went to close the old wooden framed screen
door on our very run down house. I look back and my visitor is gone. The road
is empty just as the field and my yard is. I was so young, can you imagine? My
mother’s moods were sporadic back then from joyous to right down surging with
anger. He did not save me from that and yet he made me feel safe.
One day, after school, my mom sat on the porch with me in the
very spot I stood when I saw him. She smoked a cigarette taking long drawls and
exhaling slowly. She looked out over the field into nothing and never at
me. I waited for the cue as to which
mood she was in today. I wondered if she ever saw him too. Speaking without
warning she says, "Do you know why you are special Tara?" I looked at
my mom curious and shook my head no. "You were born with a thick membrane
over your eyes.” She stops talking to take a drag of her cigarette. “That
membrane gave you something others won’t have. You have a gift. You can see and
hear things others can't." She looked over at me and smiled, "but no
one can know, they won't understand. Do what you can for them okay?" I nod
yes. I am confused. I was ten. Today, I now know what that means.
My gift is talking with the spirits who have not crossed over.
Yup that is me. The crazy girl who talks to the dead. There is more to my gift
although I did not know many of them for years. Do you know me? You have me in
class, work next to me every day or see me in stores. Oh, I'm sure you do but
you will never realize it. I kept my secret safe. Only two people know, my
mother and a friend. I had to tell someone or go insane with my secrets.
Growing up talking to the dead, or just listening to them, could drive most
sane people mad and yet I do this all the time. Many times you will find me
with loud music playing or with ear buds in. It's drowns them out, the voices
that is.
Over the first twenty years I found that talking to the
spirits isn’t the only gift I have. I have premonitions, can see auras, and
sense the good and bad in people. I can also see spirit walkers, the living
that walk amongst the dead. As I grew older, I learned so much more about
myself and this world, things you would never believe. My problem with this all
is that I try to ignore it. This is my story…
