The Devil In Beautiful People

1994

It was the year of 1994, I remember hearing the phrase:"Okay, we're home." As they pulled up to the end of Braley Ln. It was around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There sat this little blue one story house with a big yard. One so big I have never seen before.

When the car engine turned off I heard her say"Alright everyone out" in a cheerful excited way unlocking and opening the car doors. Getting out of the car I stood looking around, taken in the new scenery.

The front yard had this beautiful tree called a weeping willow which stemmed next to this huge pine tree. The house even had it's very own cemetery off in the back, with names such as King Charles III. There were even smaller tombstones for the little children.

From what I was told It use to be an Indian burial ground. Back then I didn't notice the creepiness of the whole thing.

Entering the front door I saw this ugly green rug with these square patterns that had pink little dots where the squares connected. Standing there, in what would be known as the dining room.

To me it just seemed more like a living, dining, kitchen all in one. From that room there was a door leading to a bathroom which also was the laundry room as it wrapped around back to the kitchen, living, and dining room.

Taking a step inside, I can see this door next to a fireplace that wasn't finished. When you opened that door there was a small hallway. In that hall is another bathroom, if you were to continue walking down, it would lead you to a room where we would watch tv if we were lucky.

Where at some point in the same room a computer would be placed. Now, growing up then cell phones didnt exist, we had corded phones that were shared with everyone, they were known as a house phone.

The non-wireless wifi didn't exist. You couldn't walk far or have the luxury of a private phone call and to be honest your legs got tired of standing. It sucked more than P.E.

Anyways next to that room was another room that would later be mine. Looking back on it now, the house was really small, it was only 2 maybe 3 bedrooms shared amongst 3 girls and 2 adults.

That night we all three slept in one bedroom. In their bed of course
