"I'm
Coming Back"
by Goth Gal
My grandmother died right before I was born, strangely. Above our fireplace, there is this beautiful portrait of her. Every time I would walk by it, at the corner of my eye I could see her watching me.
My aunt said that she wanted the portrait above HER fireplace in HER house. My parents agreed, but I didn't. I don't know, I just had this message in the back of my head saying, "No, don't let her take me away!" I didn't take much notice of it until the month after the BIG MOVE!
I was deep in slumber one night and I had a dream that my grandmother said, "I'm coming back." The day after my unorthodox dream, I was watching TV.
Meanwhile at my aunts house: My aunt was knitting on the couch next to the portrait. She was deep in her work, when she saw, at the corner of her eye, the picture literally JUMP OFF THE WALL! She sprang from her comfortable seat and caught it in the nick of time (Note to Reader: My aunt is in her 50s and is a very delicate woman. You could just imagine how hard it would be for her to lunge out of her seat, sprint four feet, and catch a falling portrait that probably weighs more than her all in five seconds!)
Two days after the incident, she called and said she was bringing it back. I guess granny really asserted herself by coming back!
