New Haven is a half hour closer to Leo, with a bus and train line direct to Stamfordâthe city where the dragon has my family trapped in a cement box.
The new apartment in the Fairhaven neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired. The tall stacked units that Shep and I used to refer to asâsoul collectorsâare my new home. At least itâs an unshared space. And itâs uninspiring, but a judge will consider it a âpermanent residence.â
My surroundings used to be so important to me.
Now Iâm in a shoebox apartment, but at least itâs within walking distance to the printing press where Iâll be working. Brooks said it would still keep me connected to books and that I could use the experience on my resume when it was time for me to approach literary agents or publishers again. Plus, itâs an hour ride on the train to reach Leo.
Brooks thought of everything so I didnât have to. I donât know how people reengage into society without family or a support system. Itâs like trying to play the game of life with a whole set of different rules, and theyâre all against you.
Once Iâve made it up the seven flights of stairs with the last box, heaving it onto the floor, I lock the door behind me, slide down the wall to the chipped linoleum floor. I need a break.
But as soon as I stop moving, thereâs one thing that plays on my mind more than my new shabby digs.
Kent Besslerâs link.
I just donât understand why heâd make the effort to come all the way down here and find meâ¦
I open my email, click on it, and fall down the rabbit hole that leads to Kentâs eerie website. Heâs not a Real Estate investor, as I originally suspected. That doesnât surprise me after meeting him though. Nothing about him screams salesman orâIâm here to put you in the 4-bedroom ranch of your dreams.
Nope, Kent Bessler is a paranormal researcher. And he has a whole online show where he livestreams regularly. It says here he began his work after the suspicious disappearance of his stepson in the 1980s. I remember hearing rumblings about the child when I summered in Thompson, Connecticut. I think the boy was nine or ten at the time, rode his bike down some backroad and was never seen again.
Most people assumed he was abducted or attacked by an animal (human or otherwise), his remains dispersed in a way that couldnât be found. But for some reason Kent has apparently been on a kick for all these years that something otherworldly took him.
He gained some notoriety a number of years back for cleansing a house which was so haunted it rained indoors. There is a very complimentary testimonial from the woman involvedâalthough who knows?âthose can always be fake. Thereâs been nothing of notable mention on his site since then. My guess is heâs a man desperate to make sense of his stepsonâs disappearance.
We use different things to self-soothe. Mine just comes in the form of pencils and paper.
