I have had many things happen in my life. Some people say I’m cursed. Other people say I am crazy…but what I’m about to tell is absolutely true! It started with a doll my grandmother gave me. She said, “This is a very special doll. Never lose it. Keep it forever.” So I did. Until one night… I was sleeping, and was awoken by a loud bang. It sounded like it was right next to me, but when I looked up, nothing was there. I went back to sleep. Then, another bang! That’s when I had noticed the scratch was on my left arm. I didn’t know where it had come from. I went in the bathroom to check it out a little bit closer. It ran all the way from my shoulder to my elbow. I was so scared I stayed up all the rest of the night. A few hours later, the phone had rang at 4:04 in the morning (I will never forget that exact time). It was my mom crying that my dad had died. I went over to her immediately to comfort her, and came across that old doll from grandma. A few years passed. My uncle and grandfather both died eventually, and grandma told me that my doll always ended up being around when it happened. I burned the doll, it seemed too weird. Another weird thing: Later in my life, I landed a good job in a hospital, one of the best in the state. One day, we lost an 11 year-old boy on the operating table. Two years later the hospital received a card from that little boy. It read, “Thanks for my death, you didn’t even try!” Two years later the hospital burned down. Weird things still happen to me till this day, and sometimes I think I should be dead, but I guess I am one of those people who live to tell... Katie Lynnette Howell, Symnra, TN
