firm. A large number of people have responded to the ads. She was optimistic and I hope mom will find someone that has the experience she is looking for. I feel bad for her. She tries to find time outside of working to be with my dad and me. That doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, we always have a great time and I’m grateful for every minute I get to spend with her.
    I do most of the chores around the house to help her out. It’s not hard to keep our house in order. Both my parents work a lot and are hardly home long enough to make any kind of mess. I’m the only one here that makes a mess. I think sometimes I do it on purpose just to have something to do.
    After loading the washer, I returned to my room. I had realized how much it needed cleaning. I headed to the bathroom cabinet to get cleaning supplies. Mom always keeps it stocked for me. I got the window cleaner and furniture polish out and made my way to the window.
    As I sprayed the window, something caught my eye. There was a quick movement in the trees. I scanned the tree line for minute, but I didn’t see anything. It was probably just one of the neighbor’s dogs chasing birds again.  But I can’t help wondering if something bad was out there. Just waiting for me in the shadows.
    I finished cleaning the windows , occasionally looking around to see if anything was not the norm. The dreams that I have been having, honestly, have me scared to death. I find myself searching my surroundings for anything out of the ordinary.
    Now that my room is clean, I decided to watch a little TV until my clothes got dry. I channel surfed for a few minutes until I found a rerun episode of Charmed. My mother and I had watched the show without fail until the series ended.
    This episode made me miss her. It was her favorite one. It is too bad she had already left for work. She would be in here with me, lying on the bed with her eyes glued to the television.
    The note she left on the TV in my room was brief as usual. Sorry I have to work today.  Interviewing more applicants.  Looks promising.  Could take a while.  Here is $50.00.  Use it wisely.  Love U sweetie.
    I finished watching the show and checked my clothes.  They were finally dry. I folded what needed to be folded and put them in the dresser and hang the rest in the closet. I sat on the edge of my bed contemplating how to spend the rest of my day. Staying inside was not an option. I was stir-crazy as it is. I needed fresh air and sunlight.  
    I had seen a t-shirt I wanted last week at a local clothing store just inside town. With that in mind, I took a shower and got dressed. For some reason I had a good feeling about today. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I was certain something good is going to happen. 
    The sun was like gold in the sky. Everything seemed more vibrant than usual. The fog of tired eyes had been replaced with fresh new ones. I seemed to notice every detail of the outside world. It was as if I had been blind and had gotten my sight back. This must be another result of the power I had received. Along with my hearing being better than normal, my eyesight was like something out of a dream itself. No matter how much I wanted to deny that something had indeed happened to me, I couldn’t. The proof is clear.
    The birds were singing happily in the trees. Two squirrels chased each other around the tree trunks. Before I had realized, I had reached the park.  I had been paying so much attention to everything, except where I was going.  Its a million wonders I didn’t walk out into the street and get ran over by a car. I’m completely out of it for some reason, but I liked it.  The new found fascination was exciting.
    Children were playing on the playground as their parents watched.  Swings soared high as laughter filled the air. The park was full of people.  Birdwatchers, parents and an occasional park security guard walked around in the playground area.
    Spring blossoms lined the tall
