TWENTY-TWO

Cinnamon Ellison watched from her front room window as the Winchester brothers backed out of her driveway. The rain was still heavy but both had refused her offers to walk them to the car with an umbrella, or to borrow the umbrella and return it later. If braving the conditions of the Mammoth Cave system wasn’t fazing them, she imagined a little rain didn’t even register. All that water made their black Impala—she remembered the make and model from back in her younger days—gleam like some kind of sleek, furtive military vehicle, something built long and stealthy to deal with things like the monsters the Winchesters supposedly faced all the time. If only that were true, she thought. If only those two young men could somehow drive that car into the heart of the mountain itself and use it to conquer the darkness that festered and grew at its center.

She gave herself a mental shake and turned away from the window. It felt chilly in the house, or perhaps that was just her own body’s reaction to the psychic trauma she’d inflicted upon it. Stopping in the hallway, Cinnamon turned the thermostat up a couple of degrees to chase away the dampness the morning’s storm had brought. Funny how it could be hot and humid outside, but the old houses, ones like hers, always seemed to cool when it rained. Maybe that coldness was a byproduct of certain parts of humanity, a notation in the physical world of how some human beings lacked empathy.

She knew other psychics—in this day of the Internet, how could she not?—but few seemed to truly understand how enormously strenuous having these abilities could be. That, of course, made her doubt the veracity of most of the online “friends” she had made on Facebook. Almost all of them had come via word of mouth, rumors about her or referrals from someone who knew about something she’d done. She saw a lot of advertising and self-aggrandizement in the About sections of those pages, from claims that people could be reconnected with lost loved ones, accurate tarot card readings, to predictions of the future. All, in her opinion, questionable just by the fact they had been posted to begin with. She made no such statements, said nothing about her abilities or, and this was rarely asked about, her limitations. Her profile simply noted she was retired and that was that. She didn’t have the Facebook account to advertise or make money from her talents—she’d never, ever, taken a dime in relation to that. She just had it because it softened each day’s long hours into something bearable and lessened her loneliness. In fact, she hardly ever posted, just read about the things that happened in other people’s lives, listened to their complaints—which most of the time were about the silliest, most trivial things imaginable—looked at the pictures of their husbands, wives, kids and pets, and contemplated how they could not realize their own stupid luck in having such full lives.
