Continued from Tuesday’s post, Ludwig’s Funeral
Xena: Mommy, I’ve been telling Lucy the strange things that happened the day our dear Ludwig died.
Me and Chia were laying in bed early in the morning.
Daddy had gotten up not long before and had left his bipap mask on his pillow. He jokingly laid Mommy’s pillow on my back before he went downstairs to get cleaned up. I left it there because it kept me warm. I was cozy and nodded off.
I had a bad dream about Ludwig being with other girls. It was like I was reliving
the blog post I did about him a few years ago.
When I woke up, I was on my back and the whole pillow was trying to suffocate me.
I struggled, trying to not panic, and when I finally got it off, I realized that Chia wasn’t there any more. I’m not sure what happened.
Then, if that wasn’t strange enough, when I jumped out of bed, two of Chia’s stuffies were right there. They looked like they had been knocked out…or suffocated! And why was my little pillow from my red bed on the floor?
Do you think someone was trying to murder me? Like they murdered Ludwig? *shudder* I think I might need police protection round the clock.
Lucy: The police will take you to a motel or somewhere to live or sometimes set up a whole new identity for you – new name, new pawrents, new address – and have you live in another city without any of us. You’d be safe then.
Xena: Oh no, no! I couldn’t leave my Mommy! I’ll just stay real close to her. She always protects me.
Chia: *scoffs* Like you don’t do that now. And “Mommy” can’t be with you ’round the clock.
Xena: Mommy, where are we going together today?
