Spooky Chair
Found On: Des Moines Craigslist By: Amber J
Hospital chair on wheels.
“Gramma, I’m sorry, but we couldn’t afford a better one. We were able to find this free, and hope it gets you around OK.”
“I don’t mean to be ungrateful, Jesse, but do you know what the neighborhood kids call me?”
“What do you mean, Gramma?”
“They have a name for me, Jesse. They call me the Belmont Witch. I’ve heard them. How do you think that makes me feel?”
“Oh, that’s terrible, Gramma. Why would they do that?”
“Well, think about some of the things you’ve given me. The couch on the porch? The storage shed you put out back? The hat you made from that weird yarn? What would you think?”
“Witch. Definitely.”
“See?”
“Gosh Gramma, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what we were thinking.”
“So can you try to find a different chair, please? One that doesn’t scream ‘witch’ so loudly? Oh, and that hat smells funny.”
