Excerpt:
“I need a new voodoo doll.”
With her hands on her hips, her spiral
curls bounced as she shook her head and gave me an incredulous look. “Uh, hell
to the no; and besides, um yeah, Rosie, what in the world do you need a voodoo
doll for?”
I waved my hand in the air. “Oh, you know.”
A wicked smile creased my face. My
laughter almost bubbled to the surface at the quizzical look on her face. “Come
on Jahane…you remember what we did when we were little.”
"Oh, no, no, Rosie, you are not going
to.” Her voice was full of disbelief.
Hysterical laughter exploded from me as I
doubled over and held my sides. “No, Jahane, I wanted some fresh fruit.
Satsumas to be exact. I missed the sweet taste of that fresh citrus.” My mouth
watered at the thought of peeling the green skin off and biting into the
sweetness. I heard her sigh in relief and asked, “Do you seriously think I would
have done that to you?"
“Well, let’s see…it was you who broke open
your piggy bank to exact revenge on the bullies at school.”
Jahane’s response brought long-lost
memories to the forefront of my mind. I’d been thrust back in time to days of
long ago, and a nervous laugh escaped. “Jahane, you do remember it was your
idea to go to the voodoo shop, right?” I cocked my head at her. “And do you
remember the look on your mom’s face when she caught us with an assortment of
voodoo paraphernalia?”
“Hell, I sure do. My mom was so pissed I
thought I would be punished forever.” Then she cackled and imitated her mother.
“‘Girls, if you play with voodoo, the spirits will call Marie Laveau herself to
reign terror down on y’all.” She laughed so hard at the memory she had to wipe
tears from her face.
