Chapter 13 CIRCLE of FRIENDS

Once the workday had passed, and my routine of a shower, a microwaved dinner (leftover pizza), and a few minutes to relax and read a few emails was finished, I sent out a group text message to Jenn, Katie and Theo.

'Meet me at Barnes & Noble for coffee at 8pm if you can' The texts came in like clockwork every few minutes, with confirmation from Katie followed by Jenn. Then shortly after, a message popped in from Theo saying:

'That’s perfect, I work at B&N until 8' I had been relaxing in a pair of gym shorts and nothing else, and it was nearly seven o'clock when I decided I had better actually put on some clothes if I was going out in public. Donning some khaki docker shorts, a white polo shirt and some well-worn canvas and cotton, frayed flip-flops, I headed out early to the bookstore to get my dose of caffeine started.

*** Business was slow at the bookstore this evening, which was unusual, but Theo didn't seem to mind having the extra time to straighten the shelves and wander around assisting the few customers that were there. After receiving my text, he began thinking about his spirit guides and the form of wisdom and advice they had given him. The thoughts wandered through his mind as he wandered the store offering help to those who might need it, much in the way his guides offered it to him; sometimes directly, but other times only pointing him to the path, where he needed to search.

Turning the corner of a long row of shelves somewhat secluded in the back area of Barnes & Noble, in the history nonfiction section, he noticed a woman looking around. Theo's first impression was that this was one of the Amish customers who would occasionally come in to pick up a few books to read for

entertainment or education. She was dressed in a long sleeved, light blue, cotton dress and had on leather boots that were a woman's, but definitely lacked the style one would find in today's shops. Her hair was up, her skin- pale, and she lacked any makeup, a sure sign of the Amish or Mennonites. She searched, but seemed to pay little attention to the books, or to Theo.

“Can I help you find anything?” and as he spoke the realization came to him. This woman was not a customer, she was a soul, and what she searched for wouldn't be found in any bookstore...unless she had been searching for someone to help her...unless she were searching for Theo.

“Ally-girl, where are you?” The hollow, voice seemed to echo as if it had called out through a long tunnel or across a large empty room from some cold and distant place.

“I will help you if you let me try.” Theo thought out loud. “Charles!” She called out as her posture slumped, turning to face Theo. He could now see the emptiness of her expression and her harrowing, barren, white eyes.
