The Spirit Talker

Come to us Catori you need to listen to the voices. Please help us. The woman in white reached out to Catori and

was about to grab her when… Catori woke with a start. The dreams were getting worse and this time she had

almost been … well she didn't know what would happen if the strange woman in white caught her. Well she didn't

really want to think about that right now. After all, it was Saturday and she had to get down to the horse ranch.

Susan, her boss, would want to know why she was late. Staring at the clock she finally realized just how late she

was. It read 9:30. "Oh shit! I'm over an hour late! Oh damn it all to hell!" Catori ran down the stairs and headed

towards the kitchen. "Mama I'm running late. I'll be home about 7:00. Love you! Bye!" shouted Catori as she ran

through the kitchen grabbed an apple and was out as fast as she had appeared.

Mrs. Freedman just knowingly laughed and put some bacon and eggsin front of Mr. Freedman. "That girl is crazy

just crazy." She said with a laugh. "Yes, but, she takes after her grandmother doesn't she Mom?" Said Mr.

Freedman as he glanced across the table at his mother. "Oh Ahote you are so silly. You were far more reckless in

your youth. After all that's what your name means. Let her be she's just excited about her job. You know how

much she loves horses." "Yeah that nerd is obsessed with them!" said the Freedman's youngest.

"Now Chuchip, be kind to your big sister. She needs your support right now as her brother. Be as graceful and as

strong as your name." Said his grandmother with a warning air. "My name means deer spirit. I am always called

Bambi Boy at school. Why couldn't you guys give me a more masculine name?" Grumped Chuchip as he grabbed

his bagged lunch and, headed out the door towards the bus. "That Chuchip" Said Mrs. Freedman as she walked over

to her husband and gave him a kiss. "He is soo much like you when you were little." "Oh please Honovi You were

his part name sake. After all you name means Strong deer." Said Ahote as he patted his wife's hand. "I still don't

see why we couldn't give them my name." Said Hehewuti. "Oh mother your name is warrior woman and it fits

neither one of them especially Chuchip" Said Honovi laughing. "Well come all guys no sense in lingering god knows

our children didn't." Said Ahote as he headed out the door to work. "Still restless as the day he was born. Come

Honovi we have some shopping to do." Said the wise Grandmother as she grabbed her purse. And so they headed

out into the world never knowing what strange fate was attached to all of them.
