So …we stopped on the way home from dialysis.
The Li’l-wrekker said “hurry up, I hate this place”
She’s such a kill-joy😳
You might ask what I wanted from there, no, don’t ask.
As I was walking in a very small woman asked me if I had a dollar. I’m a push over. I gave her a dollar.
I came out with my purchase. And she stopped me again. Getting alittle too close for my comfort. I kept backing up. She kept coming forward towards me.
I finally said, kinda high pitched, what do you want?, I already gave you a a dollar"
She sez "Yes mam, I have a card for you. Now I didn’t wanna touch it, but I took it, ran to the car chunked my stuff in, got in and locked the door. I said “go”.
The Li’l-wrekker said what was that. I told her I didn’t know. She looked at the card.
You’re just not gonna believe what the card I bought for a buck was.
It was a few strange looking markings, a picture of a firery hell like place.
On the back it said: You have just been granted a blessing from a Voodoo princess. Your life will change in the next few weeks.
This is weird. We were just talking a couple days ago about how unlucky I was.
Mid-daughter said (she lived in New Orleans a few years) what you need is Voodoo blessing.
Crikey!
Yep Imma die now.
I’m just SO unlucky.

Mid-daughter says there’s all kinds rules about destroying it. And I don’t wanna burn it or something.
She’s calling a friend from New Orleans to find out what to do.
I’m sorry, I ain’t performing any rituals. Not here. I’m already cursed by living on a holy Indian burial ground/ black hole thingy.

I think you should pitch this to Netflix as the beginnings of a story idea for a movie. I would watch it. 😁

Did you in fact check out what was out back? I remember restrooms which you entered from outside the building. And gas stations often kept the restrooms unlocked.

No public restrooms. Big sign on the door.
There’s a patch of woods out back. I’m thinking lots of men have pee’d on those trees.
And a few road broke women.

Beck, blessing/curse from a voodoo preistess whilst living on an indian burial ground/blackhole thingy is how you get your superpower(s).
Or your soul gets knawed by an eldritch demon from some nether dimension, sometimes these things can be a crap shoot.
You should definitely pitch it to netflix, the superpowers version, kinda tilt the table in your favor, so to speak.
