We had to think through our situation. We, Hurley's Angels are alive and well and it is 2012. Pete is alive (we think) in 1837 but then that means he could not be alive today! Hurley wants to know if someone with a gun shoots you in 1837 will it kill you in 2012....We don't want to find out.
It seems to us that we have to find Pete's family who MUST be ghosts by this time...but we have to find them when they are/were alive. Oh, this is very complicated!
Dusty suggested we call on our friends the Spirit Dancers. What a good idea!
Margaret led the chant and we did the circle stomp...we all remembered the drill from our last adventure. Pete joined us, he had two left feet but he was sincere and that is what counts. Sure enough, the Dancers heard our call and they came to us!! The Great Chief came up to me and said 'Little White brother, why do you call us from the Other Side'? We all barked and spoke out parts of Pete's story and asked if they could help us find Pete's family.
The Chief and his warriors had a pow-wow (that is Indian talk for a conference) and then they nodded 'YES' they would help! Pete was so excited he grabbed Margaret and they did a do-si-do.
The Chief told us we were very lucky that it was October 31st as that is the night earth people can make contact with all departed souls. We would have to wait until midnight. I have to admit I was a bit scared and I know the others were tool Lacey said she was going home to Mom....sigh.
Time dragged, but at last it got close to 12.00 midnight. We sat in a circle and waited. The Dancers started their ritual dance and the Medicine Man brought out his wampum and sprinkled us with his magic powder. Time stood still ...it shook ...and then it started again.
We heard voices calling 'Papa' Papa'. They were Here! They were Here! Pete took off running down the street....Sara and the girls ran toward him.
We couldn't see the rest of the reunion for tears...this time they were tears of happiness. We blinked and opened our eyes but things had changed and Pete and his family were gone. Pete's gun lay in the dirt where he had left it...a note was wrapped around the barrel...it read..' I won't need this where I am going and it may help you. Thank you from all of us Dear Hurley's Angels'. It was signed Pete, Sara, Beth and Annie.
What a night! What an ending! The town is no longer a ghost town and I have a feeling one day people will come back here and make it a happy place.
We must find out Dear Friends what time zone we are in and where we go from here....Tomorrow!

Tansy and I are having a sobbing session, I don't know why really it was a happy ending to Pete's tale but the whole story of the demise of that town was so very sad Robbie. Gulp, gulp owwwwwww>.... Now its over and when we have discovered what century we are in we can move on. Tansy says she is going to have a caring but solemn chat with Lacey about her wussiness. I'm going to keep an eye on that .....!!! Well done intrepid leader , that was a good ending to a nasty piece of history.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dear Friend...I was sobbing too! And I agree someone needs to have a chat with Lacey and who better than Tansy??
ReplyDeleteHURLEY: Robbie, even though we had some tears at first, Pete's story ended so happy. DUSTY: Now, we have tears of joy. This is such a grand adventure!
