with the same decoration, just bigger.”
“Oh, good. I might go insane if I ran out before you
returned.” Rena smiled. She picked up the kettle and filled it with water from
the faucet.
Laughing, Genma crossed the kitchen to her and kissed
her on her cheek. “I can’t say enough that I’m glad to have you here, Red.”
Hugging her, Rena said, “I’m happy to be here. It was
just what I needed.”
Genma pulled away. “I will be gone by the time you get
up.”
“Grandma, you can wake me. I’ll help you get your
things into Mrs. Octavia’s car.” Rena set the kettle on the eye and turned on
the range to heat the water.
“No, need. You should rest. Use this time to enjoy
yourself, eat and regain your strength.” Her grandmother started out of the
kitchen then stopped. “I need to show you how the radio works so you can
contact people, if you need to.”
Leaving the kitchen, Rena followed the energetic older
woman. Her grandmother crossed the living room to a wooden cabinet that had a
Citizens’ Band radio. Genma went through instructions of how to use it and
select one of forty different channels.
She pulled the drawer beneath it open and showed her
the address book with names and two digit numbers. “Here is a list of all of
the families in Den County and their channel, the mayor and sheriff’s offices
included. If you leave and want to take communication with you, this is the handheld.”
It was so strange to be in the twenty-first century and
be in a community that didn’t have telephones and cell phones. It was a
different way of life in Den that was for sure.
“Got it. Do you think the sheriff will allow me to use
the phone later in the week to call my doctor and let her know how I’m doing?”
“You sure can. Tell the quack your grandmother had the
cure.” Genma patted Rena’s cheek.
Laughing, Rena shook her head at her grandmother’s
comment. She couldn’t discount it since she had felt a hundred times better
since getting here hours ago. Rena was sure that if her strength and health
continued to improve, she would be back to her old self by the end of the week.
Maybe she would be able to get her old job back.
“Well, goodnight, Red.”
“Goodnight, Grandma.” Rena watched her grandmother
strut proudly through the living room until she entered and closed her bedroom
door behind her.
Hearing the kettle whistle, Rena went to the kitchen
and fixed herself a cup of tea. A few minutes later she was curled up on the
corner of the couch with an original copy of Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes
Were Watching God . The cover was laminated, protected and preserved with
pages yellowed from time in between.
She’d loved this book for years, and normally had no
problem becoming engaged in it once she started, however, she found her gaze
frequently being drawn to the patio door. Twice she had been ready to set the
book down and go for a walk to the lake, but the thought of the bear, which may
still be somewhere around, kept her rooted to her seat.
The last thing she wanted was a face-to-face with
something big and furry, imposing. Allowing her mind to drift to the large
animal for a moment, she recalled how its brown hair had seemed to shimmer in
the moonlight. Its movements were fluid for such a huge beast as he walked
toward her grandmother’s driveway.
She’d never thought about bears being beautiful, and as
massive as the one she’d seen had been it seemed like the word didn’t truly
describe it well. Stunning and arresting probably was better. Even now she
wished bears were more friendly creatures because she would love to rub her
hands along the powerful muscles of its back and feel if the fur was soft or
coarse.
“Let it go, Rena.” My name wasn’t Grizzly James Adams
and that wasn’t Ben .
Hopefully the bear would be far away by morning and
stay away the rest of the week.
