Chapter 32

Myrah leads me into her guest room. It’s minimally decorated with only a bed and a nightstand. She orders, “Lay yerself down.”

I follow her instruction and stretch out on her wrench-patterned quilt. Myrah once told me that when this pattern was displayed during Civil War times, it was meant to tell the slaves that it was time to gather their tools and escape their plantation for the North. It symbolized a call to action; it represented freedom. I wonder at the imagery and Myrah’s intentions, as it applies to me.

Myrah sees what I’m looking at and says, “That’s right, baby, I’m about to give you some tools. But you gotta use them or they’s no point in havin’ ’em.”

Once I’m settled, my friend lights a candle on the nightstand. The aroma of lavender quickly permeates the room. “Just lie there and breathe, honey. Let me know when you calm down a bit.”

I wasn’t aware that Myrah knew I was getting worked up. I guess I’m not as good an actress as I thought. I start to silently count while inhaling the potent fragrance. By the time I get to twenty-nine I start to feel better. I announce, “I’m okay now.”

Myrah is so light the bed hardly moves as she sits down on the mattress next to my feet. She grabs hold of one of my ankles and orders, “Put yer foot on the floor.” But as I move my leg to do so, she holds it even tighter. She’s stronger than she looks.

We struggle back and forth for several moments before she demands, “What’re you waitin’ for? Put yer foot on the floor.”

I try again, but this time she nearly sits on top of my ankle to keep me from moving. “Come on girl, do it,” she orders.

After several more attempts, I ask, “Myrah, how can I move my foot if you won’t let me?”

My friend stares me right in the eye. “Child, you got two feet. I din’t tell you which foot to put on the floor, you jus’ decided I meant the one I was holdin’ onto.”

In response, I fling my other foot over the side of the bed which propels me into a sitting position with Myrah between my legs. I easily put it on the floor. “Now what?”

“Now you ask yerself why yer making things harder than they needs to be. Seems like yer biggest concern is leavin’ town. Am I right?”

I nod my head, so she continues. “I know you been out of Creek Water, but where’s the farthest you been in the last five years?”

“St. Louis.”

“Then the first thing you need to do is find a place that’s farther than that and go there.”

“I can’t fly, Myrah,” I tell her.

“Who said anythin’ about flying. Jus get in yer car and drive.”

“By myself?” I ask.

“Go alone, take someone with you. It don’t matter. The whole point is to go farther than you been in recent times. That’s yer first step.”

“Then what?” I ask as my heart rate starts to pick up speed.
