As she ate one of the rolls, she wished her guardian angel would speak to her. She only heard her voice once, and it was when a friend was dying at her feet. It was an emergency, so she broke through the invisible barrier to speak to her. The voice was female, so she always refers to her guardian angel as a she. She told Mary to, “go be with him,” over and over but nothing more since. That was 15 years ago. She’d get the occasional warnings, intuitively, as if it were her own voice in her head, but nothing else unless she used her pendulum, or divination cards. She looked up to the sky, “Why can’t you speak now, after everything, this would be the time to speak to me,” No reply. She knew you can’t order the spirit world around. They would turn on a light or make a lamp flicker. If that wasn’t proof enough, you were out of luck. Mary could see their logic and had no idea how much energy was used to make lights flicker. She had channeled a spirit once before and it gave the family some resolution, but her ability wasn’t strong enough, hence her use of the pendulum. It kept her connected until she could remove whatever the block was. She had read blocks were often the spirit world’s doing, not her own. They would wait until she was ready and could handle it. She would have to be patient.
Mary went in search of firewood; it was getting darker and her wind-up flashlight’s light wasn’t as bright as she needed. She tripped over a log and twisted her ankle and did something to her wrist when she landed. She hobbled back to her camp, and a feeling of defeat washed over her. If her ankle was as bad as she assumed, she won’t be walking anywhere, not for two days at least. She had two rolls left, and her treasured cookie. She made one last plea to the universe to help her. She held up her arms and as loud as she could said,” Give me a sign, oh great ones of the universe.” Embarrassed using words that could have been in some fantasy movie. She continued, since she was alone and there was no one to be embarrassed in front of. “Show me what your plan for me is, or give me a sign, so I’ll know to carry on. Amen.”
She lay in the shelter, her wrist and ankle throbbing with each heartbeat. The temperature fell to around 10 degrees and her fingertips were going numb. She came all this way to die because of a sprained ankle.
Mary believed she was supposed to die back at the motel and was living on borrowed time. She would give in to the friend and let him in. She was at a crevasse; one she couldn’t cross. She couldn’t go back to the camp; the Major would most assuredly kill her. She didn’t have Hope to commiserate with.
