HIRING HOUSEKEEPERS is a series of nightmares. Ella's quest goes between visiting Memory Lane - a place so well known, it is named for its main street. This place may appear differently from one mind to the next, but town governments there erect street signs to assist travelers. Ghost-like spirits of Mark Twain and William Miller author of the Wee Willie Winkie rhyme, are there with Soul and Spirit, two entities who converse without Ella ever seeing them. Not only do they travel to Memory Lane but into Ella's dreams as bystanders. Soul and Spirit, who dress for all occasions, are concerned. AS NEGATIVITY mounts in Memory Lane, deception and greed are about to deliver dishonest housekeepers to a secret Irish estate. What will they find, discover and learn? CLOCK WATCHERS beware. Clocks stared at too frequently in this estate just might make your face their own. If your own personality mimics a snake, be careful of where you step and sit -- especially where you sleep. Be alert to buzzards and giant crows toting bottles of ketchup and tabasco that stare too intently at you. Come prepared. Don't forget to pack galoshes, an umbrella, earmuffs and running shoes.… (lisätietoja)

ANTICIPATION CAN steady nerves – but when we open the door to fear, our imagination can run as wild as a jaguar. The fog and breath that cloud air like puffs of smoke from a dragon’s nares can take on new meaning. Quiet medieval woods of tawny brown-grays then hold in limbo the breaths and motions of the creature in pursuit of prey. It is fear more than curiosity that prompts us to ask – where and who is this prey? What is it we see exactly?

THE NEXT MORNING SOUL and Spirit stand next to Ella’s bed. They remove their gloves, hats, scarves and coats. A television voice is faintly heard. “It’s going to be sunny skies today,” the television weather reporter says. “High seventies, low eighties.”
The morning sun rises. It lights windows near Ella’s bed as she opens her eyes. Hal walks in. His feet shuffle across the floor. His toenails are now manicured, cut short. The large toe is wrapped in gauze. Hal places a cup of herb tea on the nightstand and walks to the window. Looking out, he places his palms against the windowsill. He leans through the window. “Have you noticed our garden lately?” he asks Ella. Ella stands and walks to the window, glances the garden abundant with everything green and beautiful and inhales fresh air. As she exhales, the wind blows. Now, if you will, glance overtop of Ella. Notice there on the ground beneath the window is a harmless green snake. Oh well. That’s enough for now. P.S.: Are you familiar with the nursery rhyme, “Row, row, row your boat?” Here’s my version of it: Row. Row. Row your life gently through your dreams, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is full of streams. THE END…for now anyway.
