And she literally said like, shit's going crazy.
She was like, mom, shit is popping the fuck off upstairs.
the comment caught carolyn off guard and she didn't really know how to respond because she doesn't want to scare her daughter but she's like oh cool you're hearing it too yeah and she's like where'd you learn those words she's like damn i better get the dawn dish soap out so by the time she got around to asking what kind of things april had heard in her room april was like distracted with something else because she's a kid yeah she's got to go learn new swear words she's got shit to do so she said that too she's like i have shit to do mom
So one February day when the older girls were all at school and Carolyn was home with April, she had just put April down for a nap and she got this eerie feeling.
She got used to all the noise that the house made, the creaking, the popping, the sad.
They'd also heard hush talking from rooms.
No, I can't even like say that that's just them.
so they were used to that but this time something was different it felt like there was somebody else in the house with her but like it was a presence that she couldn't see but she could for sure feel she said the air felt heavy thick and dark so she closed her eyes and she tried to push the heavy feeling away and within a few minutes it passed later that afternoon after the girls got home from school carolyn gave them some milk and cookies and she was like go play like over here so you don't wake april up because she's still sleeping
So doing as they were told, they went into the living room to play a game and eat their snack, but they were interrupted a few minutes later by an unhappy and obviously still sleepy April.
And she wanted to know, who the fuck shook me in my goddamn sleep like that?
Thinking that their sister was overtired or just being silly, the other girls laughed, but they were immediately admonished by Carolyn, who was, like, not very happy that April was up from her nap that early.
So she had been in the kitchen next to the living room.
She could see and hear the girls very clearly.
Like she knew all four of them were down there playing.
So she also knew that none of them had gone upstairs to wake up April.
