2010
I came up with the spirit's name during a made-up game
I played with Nat. I had forgotten about this game. But,
when a storm cut the lights at the house, my family
started telling old stories. I remembered
about the imagery games Nat and I played when we
were little. Most of them were funny- jumbling
ourselves up in blankets and then falling down,
all those poly-pocket sleepovers we had, and the
fort making in the living room. But, one story
kind of freaked my mom out. The one where we took
directions from a spirit in the house. Her name,
I said, was Suzy. I don't know why. I just made the
name up. We made up a lot of games. This one in particular
we played a couple of time. Then, stopped for some reason.
I can't remember exactly when we played this game.
But, I think it was before my aunt came from Peru.
