Chapter 10

Halloween at Martha’s.

Halloween came and to lift themselves from the morass of gloom Evelyn’s continued disappearance and the search for her had created, Abigail, Frank and their friends decided to attend Martha’s Halloween party. It was strange, as hard as they pretended everything was normal, it wasn’t, but accepting that didn’t change anything. Abigail had seen firsthand how a missing loved one could destroy people’s lives and those around them.

Martha had convinced them to come to the party by saying, “You can’t put your lives on hold forever. Abigail, you of all people should know that. It goes on no matter what is happening around you or to the people you love. Evelyn, wherever she is, wouldn’t want you to stop living because she isn’t here.”

Martha had persuaded Myrtle to attend by telling the old lady the same thing and offering her a ride if she needed it. She’d telephoned Glinda and got her to come by asking if she’d be the main entertainment for the night by hosting a real séance, which she would pay her handsomely for, and, as with Myrtle, offering her a ride.

“I’m surprised the psychic agreed to do the party,” Abigail remarked to Martha on the phone. “Remember she said she seldom went anywhere on All Hollow’s Eve because she’s afraid of ghosts or something like that. Who does that sound like?”

“Our friend Myrtle.” A chuckle.

“Talking about Myrtle, she thinks she is being targeted by witches and black magic and seems scared of both. Oh, there’s more to the story, but I’ll let Myrtle tell you about it on Halloween in her own words, if you can get it out of her. She’s spooked.”

“Sounds like quite a tale. I hope I can pry it out of the old woman,” Martha said. “And it wasn’t hard to get the psychic to attend and do the séance after I mentioned I’d pay her and introduce her to friends of mine who are interested in booking future readings. I told her she could even do individual readings at the party. She reluctantly consented after that. Like Myrtle, she’ll need a ride here and back because she doesn’t own a car and doesn’t want to be out in the woods on that night. And I invited her, as I have everyone, to spend the night if the weather turns bad. I told her I’ll make sure she gets here and home safely.”

Abigail had paused. “You know, Myrtle believes Glinda is the real thing. A true clairvoyant. So the séance should be extremely interesting. I still can’t believe she said she’d come. Though I’m glad she changed her mind for many reasons. I can’t wait. I’ve never been to a séance.”

“Neither have I. And I look forward to getting to know a new member of our community. New neighbors in Spookie are rare, especially one as different as Glinda. Fresh blood is always welcome. Spices up things.”

“Oh, Glinda’s different all right. She’s quirky and mysterious. She’s also a fascinating woman in many ways.
