Premonition. Pay attention to that nudge of warning, and it can save your
life.
I ignored that shiver, ignored the advice Mom told me oh-so-long ago.
Ignored it even when I knew better.
Every time I don’t listen, I tend to end up in jail.
After one of the worst days working at Soil and Springs Landscaping,
I’m finally home, curled up on my second-hand, used-to-be-beige couch, in
leggings and my favorite sweater, doing the one thing I’ve wanted to do all
day.

Nothing.
Nothing means bliss, me-time. Nothing means a big bowl of cereal
while watching the news followed by a long hot bath. Nothing means for
the first time today, I have no one to be accountable to.
My cell rings and after being on the phone all day at work, I’m talked
out. When it starts ringing again, I know it’s Mom and I should answer, but
texting is faster. A quick connect and I’m done.
Me: Just got home. Call you later?
She hates when I text instead of talk.
Mom: Turn on the news.
Me: Why?
Mom: Tell me you’re not involved.
Me: Involved? What?
I have the news on; I always do at this time. What’s her problem?
Mom: Starla Bishop, stop playing games with me! Please tell me you
are safe.
Me: Relax. I’m home. Involved in nothing. Playing it safe for thirteen
months now.
She knows this. She calls every single night to make sure. I’m a jailed
bird without the prison bars.
Mom: Then why did they say staff?
I re-read her texts and feel a headache forming.
Why am I not surprised tonight mirrors how my day began? First, I
poured hot coffee into my bowl of cereal. Later, I dropped my phone in the
toilet after receiving a panicked text from my boss telling me to stay at the
office and not answer any calls.
Then I lost one of the diamonds on my new
engagement ring after hitting it on the corner of my desk, and if that wasn’t
bad enough, while on my hands and knees, looking for it, I accidentally hit
the panic button at the office and set off all the alarms, which of course, had
the phones ringing off the hook.
My finger rubs the empty area on my ring. Nothing went my way
today.
Premonition. It yells louder than inmates in a cell block with no heat.
And while I’m doing everything right, it screams in my ear.
My phone goes off again.
Mom: Starla, tell me what is going on. Do I need to come down?
Curled up on the couch, legs tucked under, I unmute Sassy Sedona, the
news anchor joking with Tyler, the weather guy. Normally I like their fun,
sarcastic, grin-provoking interaction.
